Johnstone Howell is a long established firm of Chartered Accountants who first opened its doors in 1929.
Whilst the landscape of Ellesmere Port has changed significantly since we first opened, the ethos of the business has remained the same.
We like to offer a personal service that meets each individual's business needs. We have a strong and long serving team who work closely with our clients on a day to day basis.
The partners pride themselves on still meeting with individual clients to discuss their year end accounts and offer help throughout the year when the occasion arises.
Our client base spans the North West and North Wales and we act for many business sectors including agriculture, contracting, health, manufacturing, retail and services.
