A WINCHESTER accountant is celebrating a merger with a Southampton firm by running a free bookkeeping workshop.

David Mead’s merger with David Poole Accountants has created Poolemead Accountants, which has a new office at Basepoint Business Centre in Winnall.

Mr Mead said the merger with David Poole and Alan Sealey had been a natural progression.

“We all share a strong ethos of providing clients with a holistic service, getting to the core of their businesses and providing them with intrinsic business advice as well as sound accountancy services,” he said.

The afternoon workshop on Thursday, May 16, focuses on online accountancy, showing business owners how interactive bookkeeping can increase efficiency and reduce costs.
