Wealth Management
Meet Harry
I founded Stringer Mallard Asset Finance to help businesses access the funding they need to grow, invest and achieve their ambitions.
My background is in sales and relationship management, where I've spent years helping clients find practical solutions to complex challenges. That experience taught me the importance of building trust, understanding a client's objectives and delivering a service that is straightforward, responsive and professional.
As part of the wider Stringer Mallard Group, I work closely alongside our accountancy and wealth planning teams to provide a more complete service to business owners. Through our sister companies, clients can benefit from specialist accountancy, tax planning and independent financial planning advice, ensuring all aspects of their financial affairs are aligned and working towards the same goals.
This collaborative approach allows us to look beyond a single finance transaction and understand the bigger picture. Whether you're funding new equipment, expanding your fleet, investing in growth or planning for the future, we can connect you with the right expertise across the group.
At Stringer Mallard Asset Finance, we believe access to finance should be simple, transparent and tailored to your business. We take the time to understand your objectives, explore the available options and guide you through the process from enquiry to completion.
Meet Andrew
I founded my accountancy & tax planning business Stringer Mallard in 1999 with a clear goal. I wanted to break the mould of the generic accountancy business model.
It struck me that the industry suffered a strange phenomenon where clients put up with poor or non-existent service from their accountant, simply because it was so challenging to find an alternative. This resonated with me and I set out to build a practice where excellence was the baseline.
Over the past 25 years I have seen Stringer Mallard grow into one of the most comprehensive tax planning and respected accountancy businesses in the North of England. I am proud to see SM provide forward thinking tax planning and accountancy services to almost 500 business’s and individuals. I obtain great satisfaction in being both chartered accountant and strategic business planner to our clients.
Regarding Financial Advice, I’ve always been dubious about the quality of service provided, seeing many push a sales-based business model & often delivering little benefit in exchange for their fees.
Having known Josh for many years through our shared cycling ‘habit’, we began to work alongside one another with mutual clients, and I was pleased to see his professional ethos and ‘big picture’ approach didn’t fit the mould, & aligned closely with my own.
As such, the creation of Mallard Wealth felt like a natural fit for both of us.
