Just two years after launching Northern Accountants Hull, Managing Director Ricky Field and his team are settling into their fresh new offices – and are on their way to hitting a £1million turnover milestone.

With a strong focus on technology and a client-first approach, Ricky and his team have now surpassed 170 clients and continue to grow at an impressive pace.

A significant step in this journey has been the recent move to their newly-branded offices at Reed House, Annie Reed Road, in Beverley. 

This fresh start marks an exciting new chapter for the team, offering a modern and dynamic space to continue supporting local businesses.

“Hull has always been my home, and I’ve spent over 27 years working with businesses in this region,” said Ricky. “We’re not just here to provide accountancy services; we’re here to bring innovation and technology to help local businesses save time, reduce tax, and create jobs.

“Our new offices in Beverley are a reflection of our growth and ambition, and we’re looking forward to welcoming even more clients to our new space.”

Northern Accountants Hull was born from a long-standing friendship between Ricky and Phil Ellerby, the founder of Northern Accountants. When Phil launched the firm in Leeds in 2008, he always planned to expand to Hull – and Ricky has proven to be the ideal person to make it happen.

“It’s fantastic to see Ricky and the team thriving – and the new-look office reflects their ambitions,” said Phil. “Their dedication and expertise have made a real impact, and I have no doubt that being in Beverley will bring even more success. Ricky’s ambitious target of £1million turnover in 2025 is within reach, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”
