Corporate finance: HW Corporate Finance can help you with business valuations and sales, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, raising finance, and grants and funding in Newcastle and the surrounding North East region.
Business advisory services: Our chartered accountants and financial advisors prepare business management accounts, budgets and forecasts. We meet regularly with clients to provide financial advice and discuss their business development goals.
R&D: Haines Watts Newcastle is home to a team of expert research and development tax consultants who specialise in claiming R&D tax credits, by maximizing potential tax relief and taking the time-consuming process away from you. Check out our dedicated page for more information on R&D Tax Credits.

Elaine Murray Murray Services Ltd
Within my tenure Haines Watts have provided our business with excellent accounting services and specialist tax advice. Haines Watts have also helpfully assisted with delivering company strategy and restructuring activities, they understand the nature of our business so continue to be an area of support as our organisation grows.
Ryan Peddie Holystone Civil Engineering Ltd
I chose Haines Watts as I've worked with them in the past for different companies and always been very impressed with not just their dedication to the job and sheer professionalism, but very much for their friendly and approachable nature. The genuine respect and commitment that all of Haines Watts staff, whom I have encountered over the years, has repeatedly given me confidence in their abilities to the carry out the audit process and ensure that the company is truly and fairly represented accordingly. Highly recommended!
Marie Bainbridge YMCA Wearside
The University of Sunderland SU has worked with Haines Watts as its auditors since 2014, and recently renewed the contract for a further four years. In that time Donna Bulmer and the team have been highly supportive in assisting the Union in developing its financial management procedures and reports. The whole audit cycle including preparation visit, on-site field work, accounts preparation, and audit closure meeting runs very smoothly, and the Haines Watts team are very flexible and accommodating around the needs of the Union. Donna herself attends Trustee Boards meetings to present the accounts to the Trustees and to provide independent advice and assurance to the Board over the financial position of the Union. Most importantly, Haines Watts treat the relationship as a partnership between the two organisations, and demonstrate a keen understanding of both the Union's operating environment and the challenges ahead. I would happily recommend working with them.

The best thing about working with Haines Watts is the professional approach and reassurance we get from working alongside a national firm with local roots. Knowing that we have access to specialists from around the country as and when we require them gives us great confidence. Haines Watts have supported our charity with professional, relevant and helpful advice, which is available to us all year round. As well as assisting us to meet statutory obligations, Donna and Gillian have a wealth of knowledge and experience in our sector, which has helped us remain up-to-date with new standards and contributed to the smooth running of our charity. All in all, Haines Watts have made a positive and valuable contribution to Groundwork North East & Cumbria.

We have an excellent working relationship with Haines Watts. They’re always at hand to answer questions patiently and thoroughly, adding another tier to our financial management support. The support both Donna and Gillian have provided has been instrumental to Involve North East. They keep me up to date with changes in our sector and I feel confident that I can leave the accounts and statutory returns in their hands at the year end. This frees me up to do other work as I don’t have to worry about the financial year end - I know it will be done competently and timeously.

Haines Watts have provided a full range of accountancy services for the business and Steven Richardson and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge, advice, ideas and suggestions have massively improved Redrose and the business is now much more stable than before the relationship commenced. I would draw particular reference to the corporate finance and tax work they have completed on our behalf although they are currently working in an extremely proactive way to look at future business planning and improved cash flow projections which will further improve the business making it more profitable and sustainable in the long term.
David Goodings Redrose Maufacturing Ltdhttp://www.redrosemfg.com/
Haines Watts have provided such an excellent & professional service. I have found their staff to be exceedingly helpful and will provide information to a timescale that suits us on several occasions this has been at very short notice. We have worked with several staff members and found them all to be very professional, friendly and not overtly intrusive in our day to day running of the office, while still being thorough.
Tony McDonald Northumbria Students' Union
One of our most influential partners, Haines Watts, works closely with us, not only providing valuable financial advice, but also offering support in more complex commercial and strategic decision making. Extensive financial systems development, accounts preparation, and strategic development are only some of the services Haines Watts has provided. Recently we have worked on a new product and Haines Watts is helping us to identify the most appropriate way to commercially develop this product.
Victoria Browning Probe Industries Limited
We have worked closely with Haines Watts in moving towards computerised accounting and financial systems using Sage Line 50. Haines Watts were also on hand to offer advice to us during our recent incorporation. Donna Bulmer, our Partner, is always willing to answer ad hoc queries as they arise during the financial year and often draws on the experience of other clients and the local team to resolve and offer advice on these issues. The Haines Watts team are professional yet friendly and always deliver on their promises.
