In our new ‘meet the expert’ feature, Guy Armitage-Norton, Audit and General Practice Partner based in our Bristol office, answers a few questions about his role and his favourite things about Bristol.

What sets you apart from other businesses in your sector?

Milsted Langdon’s ethos is all about helping our clients to thrive. Our service goes beyond providing an audit or a set of accounts – it’s about understanding and building long-term relationships with our clients, where we can add value every step of the way.

And although accountancy and tax advice is a huge part of what we do, we also have experts and specialist teams in VAT, Forensic Accounting, Restructuring and Insolvency, and Corporate Finance, as well as our international connections through our global network ‘MGI Worldwide’.

What do you find most rewarding about your role?

Helping my clients to achieve their business goals. I really enjoy working closely with clients to provide practical support with the help of my expert team and colleagues, advice that is tailored to a client’s specific needs and designed to add real value to their business.

I also find it hugely rewarding to see so many young people developing through the firm – we’ve just taken on our biggest intake of trainees across our offices in Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil, and to act as a mentor to some this talented group of young people is incredibly worthwhile.

What is your favourite thing about Bristol?

Bristol is an amazing place to live and work – it ensures we have a vibrant mix of clients from all sorts of sectors and lots of exciting start-ups and high-growth businesses, as well as well-known national brands that choose to base themselves in Bristol and the South West.

There’s always such a lot going on in this fantastic city and last year at the Balloon Fiesta I was lucky to go up in a hot air balloon to take in a birds-eye-view of Bristol, which was a fantastic experience!
