About us
Welcome to Corrigan.
When we started out in 2009, we wanted to be different. And we wanted to work with clients who thought differently, too.
Founder Edward Corrigan and the senior team all worked for an international practice and knew the industry inside out – but we also shared a passion for change. Our new idea? To provide a high-quality service geared towards the needs of growing businesses and other ambitious organisations and individuals.
Over the years, our work has evolved and our expertise has increased. We now provide outsourced accounting and virtual FD services, as well as strategic corporate planning.
We’ve become experts in exits and restructuring, and we act for a number of not-for-profit organisations. And, through our experience and smarter thinking, we find solutions to most financial and tax challenges.
Our client base has expanded, too – it ranges from some of the fastest growing businesses and most exciting technology start-ups in Bristol and the South West, to business owners in London, North America, India and all over the world.
We may have grown, but these three core values are still fundamental to our practice:
Transparency
We value our relationships with clients and see them as long-term partnerships. As with all good relationships, it always pays to be clear and honest.
Integrity
People do business with us because they trust us. We’re straightforward, approachable and on your side, and we won’t shirk from telling you the truth.
Enterprise
We know that success only comes from being driven, going the extra mile and being the best at what you do.
Our clients apply that principle, and so do we.

What we do
Our services are shaped by the individual needs of our clients.
We offer an integrated approach to your entire accounting requirements, and can also provide stand-alone strategic advice, specialist investigation work and tax planning services.
To this end, we have developed a range of professional services that can be tailored to you.
Financial Reporting
Everything begins with a reliable set of accounts. We can prepare your management and year-end accounts, and assist you in meeting all your other financial reporting requirements.
Business Support
We take care of all of your accounting requirements, so you don’t need to employ a bookkeeper. Using Xero and Sage, we complete VAT returns and provide timely management accounts.
Tax
We prepare tax returns for companies and individuals, taking the time to analyse and understand your circumstances to ensure you pay no more than the correct amount.
Investigation and Forensic
We utilise our analytical and investigative skills to carry out bespoke investigations, due diligence and litigation support assignments. Our team has a wide range of expertise to offer a comprehensive service.
Audit and Assurance
We carry out audits under the Companies Act and Charities Act. We also carry out grant audit validation work, client money audits and other specialist assurance reports, such as ATOL.
Corporate finance
If you’re planning an exit from your business, we can help. We work with you to understand your business and determine your options. You can expect support and advice every step of the way, ensuring a smooth process and maximum exit value.
Our clients
Corporate
We act for fast-growing companies and professional partnerships, as well as clients in the food service and property industries, and overseas subsidiaries.
Not for profit
We act for local, regional and national charities, schools, colleges and other not-for-profit entities, providing audit, tax and accounting services.
International
We act for business owners all over the world. If you’re an overseas company setting up a UK-based subsidiary, or looking to expand your activities overseas, we can help you.
High-tech
We act for technology startups and established firms in the South West region and further afield. We can scale our services to suit your needs.
