About Us

Colin Richardson ICPA (Director)
Colin founded the firm in 1985 after working as a consultant to one of the UK’s leading international accountancy firm’s and still maintains an active role today. His career has spanned several countries including extensive periods in Kenya (consultant with the hospitality industry and overseas investment) and Austria (acquisitions, disposals and corporate investment).

Colin Richardson Accountants still have clients in Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Kenya, India, Spain and South Africa.

Colin Richardson Accountants can boast that very few of our clients ever move onto pastures new…some of our clients have been with us since the firm commenced trading and a large percentage of the current client base have been with us since their own commencement in business.

Colin prides himself on offering an approach that is refreshing and provides the client the opportunity to just ‘pop in’ and chat with us about all things accountancy and taxation through our walk-in tax shop facility. Of course it is not just Colin, he is joined by his much appreciated, experienced and highly motivated professional team:

Scott Chapman ICPA (Director/Practice Manager)
Scott is the practice manager and as well as overseeing general office matters also heads the firm’s successful Walk In Tax Shop service where clients, new and existing, may informally visit the firm and discuss any matters with which they are concerned.

Scott also oversees the payroll bureau, providing clients with an efficient service that helps take the administrative burden, stress and worry out of employing staff.

Scott also has his own portfolio of incorporated and unincorporated clients.

Scott has been with the firm since April 2000.

Steven Bajor MAAT (Director)
Steven joined us in August 2014 and after a short sabbatical now takes charge of and is developing our corporate client department incorporating preparation of company accounts, corporation tax and management accounts as well as other areas of accounting and taxation.

Jayne Brooks
Jayne is your first contact for the Walk In Tax Shop providing a friendly and attentive personal service. Feel free to call Jayne at any time to arrange an appointment with any of the firm’s tax advisors.

As well as overseeing the administrative aspects of running a busy accountancy practice, Jayne is also assistant to our payroll bureau that services our client’s payroll requirements.

Jayne has been with Colin Richardson Accountants since October 2000.

Paul Barkway
Paul is the longest standing member of Colin’s team, being a valued member since 1993.

Paul now provides a consultancy service to the practice and continues to advise clients in all areas of accouting and taxation.

Dean Jackson MAAT
Dean joined us in June 2015 and we are thrilled to announce that he has just passed his final exams to become AAT qualified.  Dean completes accounts, taxation and VAT workings and currently has a significant role in the bookeeping and management accounting/reporting for a building company client.

Toni Cooper
Toni has brought a great deal of experience and knowledge to our dedicated payroll department.  Toni operates the payroll bureau dealing with all payroll matters and CIS Returns.  Toni is well versed in all matters regarding payroll, CIS and, since the introduction of Auto Enrolment, has been instrumental in ensuring clients meet their staging date and Auto Enrolment obligations.

Lee Whitworth
Lee is our newest team member and despite having not had any previous experience of accountancy and taxation, has quickly become a knowledgable and valued member of our team.  Lee produces accounts and tax workings to draft stage and also assists with VAT preparation.
