One of our members once worked for one of the “Big 7” accountants in Manchester, Grant Thornton.
Grant Thornton is one of the World’s leading organisations of independently owned accounting and consulting firms providing financial and business advice to entrepreneurial businesses. Founded more than twenty years ago, Grant Thornton has a long track record of helping businesses as they expand and explore business internationally.
All very impressive, and we at Blondies Manchester accountants were equally impressed when we received a job application from one of Grant Thornton’s Manchester young stars who wanted to work for us.
He was as bright as a button and wizard with the number crunching so we snapped him up.
We of course always Listen and learn, especially from someone who has worked and starred with the big boys.
We discovered that our boy had picked up the SIMPLE key to success after just a few weeks at Grant Thornton – and he gladly passed it on to us as his now favoured Accountants In Manchester.
He told us that part of his training with Grant Thornton’s Manchester accountants was to spend a week in the honoured Company of one of Grant Thornton’s senior Manchester partners.
The man was a god, nearing retirement but had done everything, seen everything and had more experience, skills and ability than almost anyone within the whole of the Grant Thornton Manchester Accountants office.
Our protégé observed that each and every morning, the more experienced, God like Manchester accountant begins the day by opening his desk drawer, takes out a worn envelope, removes a yellowing sheet of old paper from it, reads it, nods his head, then looks around the room with renewed vigour; returns the envelope to the drawer and begins his days very high profile and cutting edge work for THE Grant Thornton accountants in Manchester of which He is clearly THE MAIN MAN.
At the end of that week, the God like figure did retire, and our young protégé had the honour of still working, for the time been, in the office of THE Grant Thornton Manchester accountant, the MAIN MAN.
Our young friend could not wait until THE main man had left early on the last Friday. The office door had barely closed as this God Like figure left, when our young hero decided that he MUST look in the drawer to see what this wonderful piece of wisdom was, that our God Like Manchester accountant took such stimulation and pride from every morning before he started work.
Our young man is feeling so Inadequate, temporarily occupying alone THE Office of The great Manchester accountant, this far wiser and more highly self esteemed Accountant in Manchester.
Surely, our young man thinks to himself, it must contain the great secret of how to succeed at the Top of Grant Thornton, as the Main Man, as The Manchester Accountant. Is this piece of old paper going to be THE treasure of inspiration and motivation? His fingers tremble as he removes the mysterious envelope from the drawer and reads the following message:-
“DEBITS IN THE COLUMN TOWARD THE FILING CABINET”
“CREDITS IN THE COLUMN TOWARD THE WINDOW”

GK Blonde accountants took over our affairs in March of 2011. To date, we have found that they generally deliver what is claimed on their website.
They go further than simply completing the statutory stuff in order for us to be HMRC and Companies House compliant.
