About us

CKL Golding was formed by the merger of two independent and established Cambridge based practices, CKL and Jones Golding, which were originally set up in 1958 and 1988 respectively.

CKL Golding combines firm foundations in traditional accounting, tax and VAT with servicing the wider financial needs of today’s clients, both individuals and businesses. Solid expertise and strong client relationships characterise the continued growth of its practice. At CKL Golding, we also go the extra mile by working with our partner firms to provide independent financial advice, corporate legal services and employment law, meaning we can offer a full financial package beyond the scope of most accountancy firms.
