About Byrd + Link
Who we are
We are audit specialists and genuinely love what we do. As a team of senior auditors we bring extensive experience, working collaboratively with you to ensure an efficient and cost-effective audit process.
With our head office in Cheltenham and supported by our growing team off-shore we work with clients across the UK, including standalone entities, groups of companies, academies and charities. In addition, we partner with other firms of accountants who are not regulated to undertake audit work or who cannot ethically provide audit as a service to their clients.
Our focus is simple: to ensure a better audit experience.
But don’t just take our word for it - Byrd + Link was named Small Firm of the Year (Midlands, Wales, and East of England) at the Accounting Excellence Awards 2024, a testament to the quality and dedication we bring to every engagement.

We are moving into our third annual audit with Byrd+Link, who are engaged as our group auditor for the consolidated UK group opinion, as well as the majority of our individual UK statutory entities.
Our relationship with the Byrd+Link partners goes back a number of years prior, and it has been great to see their new firm flourish independently, based on common-sense collaborative values. Audit services must always be bound by the framework of auditing standards, reporting guidelines, and technical accounting fundamentals, but within this there must also be room for commercial judgement and a risk-based approach appropriate to the issue at hand. Byrd+Link strike this balance well, marrying technical insight with a wealth of real-world experience.
I would not hesitate to recommend Byrd+Link as auditors to any SME business, as well as to larger organisations with varying UK requirements within a group structure, and have been pleased to make successful introductions in the past. Byrd+Link have always worked openly and effectively with our other professional advisors when called upon, whether in relation to tax advice, M&A, component auditors, or global group auditors based in Doha, Qatar.
