Jackson Stapleton Accountants

What Jackson Stapleton Accountants does

Jackson Stapleton Accountants (legal entity Stapleton Accountants Limited) is a UK-based regional accountancy firm founded in January 2017 by Mark Jackson-Stapleton and headquartered in Scunthorpe. The firm provides a full-service accounting, tax, payroll, and advisory offering to small and medium enterprises, sole traders, partnerships, limited companies, and selected niche verticals (Construction/CIS, family-run businesses, property investors, manufacturing) across Lincolnshire. As of 2026 it operates from four offices — Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Retford, and Grimsby — built through a series of acquisitions: Fawcett & Co (Nov 2021), Mill Accountancy (Sep 2024), CRL Accounting (Mar 2025), and Broughton Lambert Accountants (Feb 2026).

The service catalogue spans 14+ core offerings including Limited Company Accounts, Self-Assessment & Personal Tax Planning, Payroll & PAYE, VAT, Cloud Accounting (Sage and Xero reseller/advisor), Fee Protection insurance, Management Accounts, Inheritance Tax, Pensions, Turnaround advisory, and Sale of Business support. The technology stack is built on third-party cloud accounting platforms, office-specific client portals, and document automation via Dext/Auto Entry/Hubdoc, with an in-house IT function maintaining the infrastructure. No proprietary AI/ML capability is evidenced.

Revenue is generated through fixed-fee service charges (e.g., £340 self-assessment, £795–£6,480+ turnover-banded limited company accounts), hourly rates (£290–£360/hour), monthly recurring payroll runs (£40–£75+), subscription-based Fee Protection policies (£15–£25/month across four tiers), and software resale (Xero £45, Sage £50, Dext £360+ setup). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, free no-obligation consultations, a dedicated Switching programme targeting dissatisfied clients of other accountants, content marketing, social media, and a strong Google review presence. The firm is privately held by Mark Jackson-Stapleton with minority shareholder Harry Smith in the Retford branch (appointed November 2025); there is no disclosed external private equity or venture capital backing.
