About the practice
A local accountant who understands the pressure of running a business
Before founding Hayward Accountancy Services in 2011, Paul Hayward spent five years as a Finance Manager at Severn Trent Services, managing budgets, reporting and cash in a demanding commercial environment. He holds a BA (Hons) in Accountancy & Business from the University of Sunderland.
That experience shapes how the practice works today. Paul does far more than file returns: he looks at the whole picture, spots problems early and gives honest, practical advice that helps you make better decisions, especially when cash is tight.
