Staff Information

Nigel Jones (FCA), Director

Trained with three-partner firm in York before moving to Binder Hamlyn in Leeds in 1982 where experience in SMEs was gained. Left in 1984 to join a two-partner firm where experience was gained working on advising clients on running their businesses and in dealing with tax investigations.

Set up Jones & Co on 1 October 1985 on a part-time basis before taking the plunge on a full-time basis on 29 February 1988. The business specialised in the start-up market for a number of years before branching out into established SMEs. Some clients have been with the firm since the outset and have grown with the firm.

Over the years a number of contacts have been built up which enables us to provide a wide range of services not normally associated with a firm of our size.

Nigel has experience of a large range of business activities, with a large number in the service sector. A lot of clients began as start-ups and have grown into thriving small companies. Advice has been given on business and tax planning for these businesses.

A number of accounting packages are used including Sage and Opera. In addition the practice has tax and accounting software for its own use.

Richard Stagg

Richard joined us in April 2008. He previously worked in Grimsby for three years with a small firm of accountants where he learned the basics of accounts preparation. He is now developing his skills in accountancy and also deals with payroll and basic taxation matters. He is training towards becoming a Chartered Certified Accountant.

Outside work he enjoys driving and is hoping to become a member of the Institute of Advanced Motoring.

Tricia Smith

Tricia helps out with accounts preparation and administrative tasks on a part-time basis. She retired from our firm in April 2007 after working for us for several years looking after the accounting function of one of our clients and helping out with administrative tasks. However, although she spends a lot of time at her holiday home in France, she still likes to help out when she is back in York. Previously she worked for 30 years in the accounts department of the Forestry Commission.

Abigail Stevens

Abigail is the newest member of our team, having joined us in March 2009. She previously worked for a small local accountancy practice on the Isle of Man where she gained a basic understanding of accounts preparation.

Abigail moved over from the Isle of Man in order to experience life on a bigger island and to help her progress in her accountancy career. She is currently training towards becoming a Certified Accounting Technician.

In her spare time Abigail likes to get involved in friendly sporting activities and is a keen badminton and netball player.

Nick Adams M.A.A.T

Nick is the newest member of our team after joining us from another firm of accountants in York. He brings with him a good understanding of accountancy having spent over four years at his previous practice.

Nick has completed his AAT qualification, and has a good knowledge in areas such as Bookkeeping, Payroll and VAT. He is looking forward to using the skills he has learnt over the years and forming a good working relationship with the clients of Jones & Co Ltd

Out of work, Nick enjoys spending time with his family and is a keen fell walker and has accomplished many of the Lake District fells.
