Dunkley’s Chartered Accountants

Growing Bristol accountancy firm Dunkley’s Chartered Accountants has appointed a fourth director as it grows its staff numbers towards 60.

Joe Weston has been with the firm for over eight years – having joined as an apprentice in 2015. The firm, started by Mike Dunkley in a bedroom office with his cat, appointed Lisa White and Matthew Dobbins as directors in 2016.

The firm has hired 21 new staff members since July 2022 in a big push post-covid.

“Our motto is that we are big enough to deliver the depth of knowledge and services of a large corporate firm, but small enough to be personable and approachable individuals," said Joe.

By 28 he was the youngest newspaper editor in the country. An early advocate of online news, he spent the first years of the 2000s telling his bosses that the internet posed both the biggest opportunity and greatest threat to the newspaper industry and the art of journalism. He was right on both counts. Since 2006 he has enjoyed a career as a freelance journalist. He lives in rural Wiltshire with one wife, two children, and three cats.
