Matthew Melksham - Associate Partner at Haines Watts North Devon

Matthew has been an accountant for over 12 years and during this period has been involved with a diverse portfolio of clients ranging from the local plumber to truly international businesses. He joined Haines Watts Bideford office as a senior manager in December 2012 to look after the corporate clients in the firm and on 1st May 2013 was promoted to partner.

With a background in the catering and hospitality trade, including working in a Michelin-star restaurant and running a public house in his home City of Bath, Matthew has hands-on experience in running commercial operations. As a result he offers a personal service and customer focused approach providing accounting, tax and business advice to incorporated and non-incorporated business entities, owner managers and sole traders.

Matthew develops trust and confidence with his clients giving structured, pragmatic and timely advice to help them grow their company and excels in covering the areas of the business which are normally the responsibility of a Financial Director. This allows owners or managers the time to concentrate on the other aspects of the business with the knowledge that they do not need to pay a Financial Directors annual salary.

Using the specialist resources available from experts within the Haines Watts Group, he looks to grow the net worth of the owner managers he works with to ensure that all is done to the highest standard with a hands-on personal approach and at affordable local prices.
