The team at Jackson Accounts had plenty to celebrate at the Thebestofnorthwest Local & Loved Awards Night after taking home not one, but two fantastic awards!

Having been nominated in three public-vote categories, the Bolton-based accountancy firm was crowned Most Loved Financial Services Business 2026 and Most Loved Business Support Services 2026.

The team also finished as runners-up in the Most Loved Bolton Business category, with Olympus Fish & Chips taking the top spot.

These achievements are particularly special because they were decided by the public. Every vote came from a client, supporter or local connection who has experienced the friendly and dependable service Jackson Accounts is known for.

Making Accounts Feel Less Daunting

So, what do they do? Well, Jackson Accounts helps individuals and businesses take the stress out of managing their finances.

Their services cover everything from bookkeeping, payroll and VAT returns to self-assessment, company accounts, management accounts and tax support. The team also assists new business owners, sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, providing practical, tailored guidance.

A Friendly Team That Cares

Led by Director Kelly Jackson, the close-knit team includes Senior Accountant and Tax Advisor, Vicky Lakin, Accounts and Payroll Specialist Caylie McCarthy, Accountant and Bookkeeper, Humera Saleem and newest addition, Hannah Owen, Accountant and Tax Advisor. Together, they bring years of knowledge and experience, but it is their friendly and down-to-earth approach that makes the biggest difference.

Clients are treated as people rather than numbers, with the team taking the time to get to know their customers, explain things clearly, answer questions and provide support that fits each individual business.

Proud to Be Part of Bolton

Jackson Accounts is also proud to be part of the local business community. The team loves getting out of the office, attending networking events, meeting other business owners and supporting what is happening across Bolton.

They have thanked everyone who voted and continues to support the business, sharing that the recognition means the world to the entire team. With two wins and a runner-up place, it was certainly a night to remember. And we hope the team enjoyed their celebratory lunch from Olympus Fish & Chips – a well-deserved treat after such a successful evening!
