W
hen it comes to offering a
range of business services
that make a difference to
their clients, the numbers
add up for Baldwins.
In these uncertain times, when businesses
must quickly identify opportunities while
simultaneously mitigating risk, the input of
finance professionals who can think outside
of the proverbial box is a strategic asset.
Today more than ever, businesses need
finance and accounting professionals who
can deliver far more than processing the
company accounts and tax payments.
That’s where Baldwins, with their friendly
local service with access to global experts,
stands out from the crowd.
Predictive insights to leadership? Tick!
Ability to drive data-based business
decisions? Another tick.
Expert counsel on a wide range of business
issues? And that’s another tick
The good news is that Baldwins, who now
operate from 95 offices across the UK, have
just cemented their investment in the region
with a new 12,000 sq ft office at Belmont
Business Park on the outskirts of Durham.
Now part of business service specialists
the Cogital Group, Baldwins can call upon
their 3,000-strong team of experts to offer
specialist knowledge no matter what the
industry or business challenge.
Being part of Allinial Group, a global
association of accounting and consulting
firms, means Baldwins can also offer
expertise on an international scale.
And their new Durham office is ideally
primed to take on a forward-thinking role,
creating a team of expert business advisors
to offer real added value to business owners
in the region.
It means businesses now have easy access
to global expertise on a local basis.
“As the business world becomes
increasingly competitive, it becomes more
important than ever to surround yourself

How future thinkers
Baldwins play pivotal
role for clients
with the people and information needed to
make informed decisions,” explains David
Nairn, a partner at Baldwins Durham.
“While there’ll always be a demand for
the services accountants traditionally offer,
ambitious, forward-thinking companies are
looking for experts who can provide a more
integral role in their business.”
Businesses are increasingly demanding
advice, not compliance. As a result, Baldwins
has evolved to bring together under one roof
a team of expert advisors in a wide range of
specialisms including audit and accountancy,
tax advice and compliance, corporate
finance, banking and finance, restructuring
and insolvency, forensic accounting and
probate.
“The added value advisory services we
offer are an important and increasingly
growing part of what we do,” says David’s
fellow partner Lesley Stabler. “We’ve become
increasingly more ingrained within our
clients’ businesses.”
