Audit, tax and accountancy support for Cambridge’s mix of university spinouts, scaleups and long-established local firms, plus Huntingdon and Newmarket.
Home / Our offices / Cambridge
Cambridge runs on two different economies at once: a university and life sciences cluster producing a steady stream of spinouts and scaleups, and a long-established base of local SMEs, retailers and family businesses who’ve been trading here for decades. MMBA’s chartered accountants work with both, serving Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area, from ACCA compliance and statutory accounts for established firms through to R&D-heavy tax planning for spinouts.
Whether that’s a two-person start-up working out of a co-working space near the Science Park, a Cambridgeshire family business now in its second generation, or a fast-growing scaleup preparing for its first proper audit, the same team structure applies: one accountant who knows the file, backed by director-level oversight for anything regulated or complex.
Every Cambridge client is assigned one accountant as their point of contact, not a rotating desk. That person stays with you as your business changes, and the wider team, including director-level oversight, is built into that relationship as standard rather than something you’re passed up to.
Cambridge clients also benefit from the wider MMBA network across London, Preston and Luton, so specialist expertise, from FCA compliance to complex audit sign-off, is on hand whenever it’s needed.

Look for a firm of ACCA or ICAEW Chartered Accountants with relevant sector experience that provides a named point of contact rather than a call centre. Check their Google reviews and ask for a clear fee structure before committing.
It is straightforward. Once you give us the go-ahead, we contact your current accountant, request your records and handle the handover for you. We then set up your software and register with HMRC as your agent. Most of the work sits with us, not you.
A chartered accountant holds a qualification from a recognised professional body such as ACCA or ICAEW. That means strict standards on training, ethics and ongoing competence, plus professional indemnity cover. It is worth confirming your accountant holds this before you commit, as anyone can call themselves an “accountant” without it.
