Brookson was born from a thought… ‘There must be a better way for contractors to manage their accounts’. Brookson was set up with the vision of creating an accountancy company with a difference – a firm passionate about meeting the needs of their customers through innovation and personal attention; these are values that the firm continue to uphold today!

The introduction of IR35 legislation had serious implications for many Brookson customers. We worked closely with HMRC and implemented dramatic changes to our services that made sure our customers worked compliantly. This resulted in us launching our Umbrella offering.

Brookson created it’s own system for contractors investing millions to provide real time accountancy for contractors through desktop followed by mobile. We were the first in our sector.

Brookson scored consistently well in two key areas; ‘leadership’ and ‘my team’. Almost 90% of employees laughed a lot with their team. Wellbeing scores were high, with the level of happiness and work-life balance (80%) bettered by just two of the 100 best SMEs.

FCSA was founded in 2008 and represents the most stringent independent assessment and verification of compliance that firms can achieve within our industry.

As customers increasingly enquired about implications around employment status, contracts, and other legal issues we launched Brookson Legal Services. A team of solicitors who provide expert advice. This enabled Brookson’s all–inclusive accountancy service to carry out unlimited IR35 reviews at no extra cost. Visit Brookson Legal Services.

Increasingly clear that financial advice and planning was a key focus for Brookson clients this vital support service was brought in-house, providing our customers with solutions tailored to their individual requirements.

To support our relationships with recruitment agencies we established a 20 strong (and growing) dedicated agency support team. This offered key services backed with Personalised Account Management and proactive advice on legislative changes such as pension auto enrolment.

Accountancy Age’s latest Top 50+50 Survey placed Brookson in it’s top 100, one of only three firms to be included in the list that specialise in providing accountancy services to people who work for themselves. A fantastic achievement to be named among the top accountants in the UK.

A large percentage of NHS staff work flexibly. Brookson’s knowledge and experience in this sector meant we were ideally placed to offer a dedicated model embracing NHS, locums and recruitment agency requirements. Today, this supports in excess of £130m of temporary labour spend to NHS Trusts and Health Boards in the UK. Visit Brookson Direct.

Our intuitive system allows in-house teams within the NHS the functionality to manage the placement of all non-permanent staff for each site by department, specialism and grade. Enabling the gaps in the permanent rota to be filled as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

This remarkable achievement endorsed our belief in our NHS model.

Brookson has partnered with global niche private equity firm The Riverside Company (Riverside).

Riverside introduced other industries where our technology and services transformed the way they do business.
