Keeping a close eye on your accounts and payroll is important
Time that is better spent looking after your customers, your staff and your business.
If you'd like to focus on building your business, rather than accounting for your accounts, Kendall Richardson can help.
Looking after bookkeeping, payroll including auto-enrolment and management accounts for business owners is what we do.
We provide clear financial information, practical day-to-day support and a service built on trust, accuracy and long-term relationships to several hundred businesses across a wide range of sectors.
The business was originally founded in 2015, with Clare Richardson as one of its co-founders, bringing a commitment to delivering high-quality bookkeeping and payroll services to local businesses. As the firm grew, it developed a strong reputation for reliability, clarity and a personal, client-focused approach.
From 1 January 2026, the practice entered a new chapter when Clare partnered with Matt Lightfoot, enabling Kendall Richardson to continue its growth and evolve its services while maintaining continuity and the values the business was built upon.
Today, Kendall Richardson continues to support businesses with turnovers ranging from small start-ups to several million pounds, offering bookkeeping, payroll, management reporting and Making Tax Digital support. Our clients include charities, farming businesses, construction firms, and professional service providers – all of whom rely on us to keep their finances accurate, organised and compliant.
What has always set us apart is our commitment to giving clients peace of mind. We know the pressures involved in running a business and understand that time spent reconciling accounts or managing payroll is time taken away from customers, staff and growth. Our role is to lift that burden, providing a reliable financial backbone so you can focus on what matters most.

Behind the scenes, our team brings together deep experience in bookkeeping, payroll and cloud accounting systems such as Xero and BrightPay.
Clare leads the practice with the same values that have shaped Kendall Richardson from the beginning – professionalism, approachability, attention to detail and genuine care for our clients’ success – while Matt is helping to shape our future growth and enhance our service offering.
We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner rather than just a service provider. Whether you need someone to manage your day-to-day bookkeeping, deliver dependable payroll processing, or provide clear management information to support decision-making, we’re here to help.
We’d love to work with you and support the financial foundations of your business and help your business to grow.
