Meet the Team
Your Business Partners
We’re here to get to know you and your business just as much as saving you tax and maximising your profit. We see ourselves as much more than just accountants.
Our accountancy business in Chorley is built on big ideas. We learn from others, adapt our practices and introduce new ones. We take our culture and goals seriously, continuously improving on the past.
We filed our first set of customer accounts in 2010, and today support growing businesses with all wild-and-wonderful challenges standing in the way of their own vision.
Our staff share their favourite quote with you – this can give you an idea about what mantra they live by.
Michael Godsmark
Managing Director
I created Woodville in 2010. Starting locally in Chorley, I grew my network of customers around the North West using flyers and word-of-mouth – techniques from my previous life as a DJ.
Now in 2018, I believe in business improvement. My office bookshelf grows each month with business and tax books. I practice what I preach, I continue to develop my business in the same way that Woodville supports businesses to grow and realise their potential.
