Employer Description:
Hodgsons was founded in 1942 when John Hodgson began helping farmers in Cornwall navigate tax rule changes. Fast forward a generation, Peter Hodgson grew the firm and expanded our services to support businesses, charities, not-for-profit organisations, families and individuals around the UK, helping to make us the firm we are today. Following in the family footsteps, Peter’s son, James, began his career working for several of the big accountancy firms. After specialising in both audit and corporate finance he returned to Cornwall joining Hodgsons in 2004 and took up the reins from Peter in 2014. Our reach and expertise may have widened in the past 80 years, but some things haven’t changed, including our focus on specialist knowledge, insightful advice and a truly personal service. We’re proud to say that most of our work comes from referrals and that some of our clients have been with us through the generations since we started.
