C M Accountants

C M Accountants is a small, family-led accounting practice working from an office in North Shields, in the north east of England. It began trading in 2008 and describes its team as having more than twenty years of experience across accountancy and taxation. The firm keeps its client list small on purpose so that owners deal with the same people each year.
