Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors in Leicester
Real people. Real advice. Real results.
Welcome to Haines Watts Leicester. As a local firm with national backing, we combine personal relationships with deep technical expertise helping business owners across Leicester and beyond reach their goals faster.
We’re based in Stoneygate, supporting ambitious owner-managed businesses across the East Midlands. Whether you’re growing, restructuring, or planning for succession, our advisors provide hands-on guidance to help you make confident financial decisions.
As business owners ourselves, we understand that running a company isn’t a 9-to-5 job, it’s a 24/7 commitment. That’s why our support is designed to be practical, proactive, and always focused on what matters most to you and your business.
Better Business Accountancy
Our Leicester accountants know that business success goes beyond numbers. It’s about clarity, control, and confidence in every decision you make.

Simplifying Your Tax Strategy
Our tax advisors in Leicester make complex legislation simple. Whether you’re a company or an individual, we’ll help you navigate tax efficiently and make the most of reliefs, allowances, and incentives.
From minimising corporate tax exposure to structuring your affairs for long-term wealth preservation, we take a joined-up approach that considers your whole financial picture — not just one year’s return.
R&D Tax Relief Expertise
As the East Midlands’ R&D centre of excellence, we help innovative businesses unlock valuable tax reliefs and reinvest in growth.
Our specialists combine deep knowledge of HMRC’s R&D framework with practical commercial insight. We look beyond the claim itself to ensure your business structure, director remuneration, and wider tax strategy work together for maximum benefit.
Unlike standalone R&D firms, our integrated approach ensures your claim is optimised and sustainable long term.
Private Client Services
We know that managing personal wealth can be just as complex as running a business. Our private client advisors help you protect your assets, plan for succession, and make confident decisions about how your wealth is used and passed down.
Whether it’s through inheritance tax planning, trusts, or efficient extraction of profits from your business, we’ll design a strategy that fits your life goals as well as your financial ones.
