Mission & Purpose

Sagars, an AAB Group company, is one of the largest independent accountancy firms in Yorkshire and winners of 8 prestigious national awards. What really matters to us is building long-term relationships and supporting our clients to reach their goals. We have a 100-strong team based Leeds, and as an AAB Group company we work with an additional 350 colleagues across the UK. The strength and breadth of our team means that we are well-placed to deliver on our promises, with 90% of clients referred to us by existing clients and professional contacts. We know that the needs of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker will be different to those of the lawyer, the professional sports star and the farmer. We recognise that each client is unique and we work with them to provide really useful, bespoke advice and support. Our clients include private individuals, a substantial number of trusts and businesses ranging from start-ups to large, international companies and everything in between. Based in Leeds city centre, we look after clients from across Yorkshire, the North and beyond. As part of the AAB group, we can provide advice that covers every aspect of business and personal finance support. In addition, we are members of Accelerate (a business associate of Crowe Global) and through this community we have access to the latest technical training and ‘local’ advice should your ambitions take you beyond UK shores.
