"The big firms started to price us out. We were in the bottom slice and the fees kept going up disproportionately. We decided it was time to look again at a more regional adviser; someone we could work with, somebody more akin to the ethos of Longcliffe." |
"For 25 years we used one of the countries 4 largest accountancy service providers, but in 2015 we decided we were looking for a more personal relationship.""Shorts were the obvious choice for us."

"We look forward to showing you what proactive tax advice really feels like."
We believe that great advice starts with giving people the time and space to focus on our clients; which is why we are structured differently.
Our teams separate out compliance functions from planning. This means that we never miss a deadline but just as fundamentally, our tax planning specialists are able to dedicate 100% of their time to creating tailored, strategic tax solutions for our clients.
Our ambition is to become the leading accountancy firm in our region. This goal underpins everything we do.
The accounting industry continues to experience significant consolidation as PE backed firms attempt to build national /global practices through acquisitions and mergers, as has been seen locally in recent years.
At Shorts, we are proud to remain an independent, locally owned firm focussed on servicing successful businesses, predominantly in Derbyshire and Yorkshire. We believe that this gives us the best ability to build strong, open and lasting relationships with our clients.

We never take on a new audit client without ensuring first that we have the right team to deliver the audit at the right time. This simple step helps ensure that our audit service remains consistently first class. |
 |
Our audit clients have a dedicated tax planning partner, focussed on bringing them relevant tax planning solutions as a matter of course. We pride ourselves on building comprehensive, long-term tax strategies (both corporate and personal) for our clients. |
