Based in Cambridge, we provide a wide range of accountancy and tax services, including personal tax, business accounting, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, sole trader accounts, management accounts and specialist tax advice.

We understand that dealing with accounts and tax can sometimes feel complicated or time-consuming. Our role is to make things clearer. We explain what needs to be done, help you stay ahead of deadlines, and provide practical advice that is tailored to your circumstances.

Whether you need one-off support or ongoing accountancy services, our aim is to make the process straightforward, personal and reliable.

Our Approach

Clear advice

We explain your accounts and tax position in plain English, so you understand what is happening and what your options are.

Fixed upfront fees

Wherever possible, we agree fees in advance. That means no hidden costs and no unexpected surprises.

Personal service

We take the time to understand your circumstances, whether you are an individual, landlord, sole trader, company director or business owner.

Modern accounting tools

We support cloud accounting and digital record-keeping, helping you stay organised and keep a clearer view of your finances.

With over 12 years of experience in accountancy, I’ve been able to shape Liston in exactly the way I always envisioned. By taking the time to understand our clients’ challenges and ambitions, we help them make confident decisions. Our aim is to build a long-term relationship and be the trusted team our clients can rely on.”
