Cloud Accounting Experts
An award-winning practice built on experience and care
YVB Accountancy, previously YVB Bookkeeping Services, was founded in Leeds in 2012 by Yvonne, an ICB-qualified bookkeeper with a career spanning private companies, public sector organisations and charities. What began as a bookkeeping practice has grown into a broader accountancy service, shaped by what clients kept asking for: one trusted place for the books, the payroll, the returns and the reporting.
The practice is deliberately streamlined: experienced people, modern systems and no layers between you and the person who knows your accounts. Clients notice the difference, and they stay.
