As a longstanding member of DFK International, a worldwide association of accounting firms, we can support our clients globally when the need arises.

Our clients range in size from small sole traders to multinational groups. We believe they all have one thing in common; they want cutting edge technical excellence with a hands-on, professional and personal service that they can rely on to add value and deliver results.

Our holistic approach to service delivery means that our clients always have a central point of contact with a person who understands their issues.

We are proud of our people-centric culture. By providing the support, guidance and motivation needed to grow and develop, our culture fosters a close-knit team working together to deliver complex and exceptional work for our clients.

Our purpose is to Make it Count: we aim to inspire and support each other to be at our best, so we can make a lasting difference to our clients, the community and our firm.  We also pay lot of attention to our culture and how everyone feels about working at Wilson Wright.  Take a look at this video showing what some of our employees think about our working environment  https://www.youtube.com/embed/Izh8sNb4AHM
