Our Expertise Team
Your Partners in Precision
Ian Walling
Ian set up Walling Accountants with a simple idea: to create an accountancy practice that doesn’t just tick boxes and fill in forms, but actually makes a real difference to businesses and the lives of the people running them.
With over 15 years in the industry, working with both local and national accountancy firms, Ian’s helped all sorts of businesses – from small start-ups to large companies across various sectors.
What clients value most about Ian is his blend of technical know-how and friendly approach. He’s got a talent for taking complicated financial jargon and making it make sense, all delivered with a warmth that makes even tax discussions surprisingly enjoyable. He’s particularly good at helping business owners not just run tighter ships, but also achieve what they really want from their businesses and lives.
As Ian says, “Where other accountancy firms stop, we’re just getting started.” That’s because he’s genuinely interested in building relationships focused on helping you grow, rather than just keeping you compliant.
Mark Walling
Mark joined the Walling Accountants team in August 2021 after spending five years at a Big 4 firm where he cut his teeth working with all sorts of audit clients.
He shares Ian’s passion for going beyond the basic number-crunching that most accountants offer. For Mark, it’s all about building real relationships with clients based on trust, keeping you in the loop, and delivering results you can actually see.
Business owners particularly value Mark’s ability to take financial worries off their plate. He understands that cash flow concerns, tax deadlines, and compliance requirements can be major sources of stress, so he works to create clear systems and strategies that bring peace of mind. By handling these headaches, Mark frees clients to focus on what they do best—running and growing their businesses.
When he’s not helping businesses thrive, you’ll find Mark at Garstang Cricket Club, swapping spreadsheets for cricket bats and enjoying his time on the pitch.
