A Leeds female family business has won a hero award for championing women in the finance industry.
Whitesides Chartered Accountants opened in 1989 and has had great success since. Joanne Whiteside founded the practice 33 years ago and later hired her daughter. The pair managed to double both the turnover of the business and the staff by 2015.
The company now has 10 accounts, bookkeepers, tax and payroll specialists who help businesses in Leeds. Recently the company, based in Horsforth, won an MP HERoes award for their contribution to the local community. MP for Pudsey, Stuart Andrew, nominated the firm due to their "integrity that shines from within" the heavily female led firm.
