Our refreshing approach
NR Barton Chartered Accountants have been leading the way for trusted accountancy, tax and business advisory advice for over 70 years. Achieving potential has been at the heart of our approach since day one, and we’re not afraid to shake the accountancy world up.
Operating from our offices on Bridgeman Terrace in Wigan we have over 40 partners and staff advising clients across the North West.
Achieving potential is very important to us. This means that we focus on working with our clients to provide trusted advice to help achieve financial goals.
Over 70 Years of experience
The NR Barton story traces back to 1948 when founder Norman Richard Barton opened the firm from offices in King Street, Wigan. We have great pride in our history of over 70 years and our specialists are rated as market leaders in their respective fields.
At NR Barton we understand the importance of trust and we make sure this underpins absolutely everything we do.

We are proud of our independence and believe this is our strength. We are the masters of our own destiny and this means we are able to adapt to best serve our clients. In our role as auditors and advisors we always act independently.

We treat our client’s challenges as our own and we strive to offer the best advice at all times. Equally we appreciate and care about how our work may affect our communities.
Technical excellence
Technical excellence is fundamental to everything we do. Our constant search for quality serves our client satisfaction and team development across all our service offerings.
Partnership
We are stronger when we work together. We work in true partnership in everything we do both internally as a firm and externally in our dealings with clients.

Making a proactive contribution to our communities and wider society has always been fundamental to NR Barton’s values and the way we do business. We support our local communities through various methods and means.
Volunteering initiatives – volunteering is important to us and a number of our directors and team members regularly offer their time to help support local and charitable projects close to their hearts.
Environmental initiatives – we have established programmes relating to energy consumption, transport usage, waste, recycling and proactive procurement strategies.
