How it all Started
Keith Bradshaw, ACA, FCCA is a qualified Chartered Accountant and after joining one of the UK’s leading firms of accountants, lectured on Accountancy and Taxation at Sheffield University. Preferring self-employment to working for a large organisation, in 1989 he took the plunge and set up on his own in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

In September 1999 Keith launched the Certax Accounting brand sharing his accountancy processes and marketing strategies on a franchise basis. Today there are around 100 Certax Accountants providing a nationwide service.
Thanks to the formal and informal networking within the group and its technical support team, Certax Accountants have access to a breadth of knowledge and experience rarely found outside the largest practices whilst the franchise structure ensures a degree of customer commitment that larger firms may lack.
