Our Team
Robert Clarkson
Robert qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1980 and joined Percy Pemberton and Company, a two partner practice of chartered accountants operating from the centre of Leeds. After listening to Christian leaders in Bradford it became clear that there was a need for an experienced Christian Accountant to provide services to charities and churches in the local area and beyond. As a result, Clarkson and Company was established in April 2002. Robert has a wide range of experience in general practice as well as specialising in the affairs of charities and churches. Robert enjoys working on a one-to-one basis with clients ensuring that they get the best possible service and encouragement to grow their business. One advantage of being a sole practitioner is that Robert has an all-round understanding of clients, business and tax situations and is therefore in an ideal position to offer the best advice.
