Founded in 1999 by Helen & Damian Broughton, Danbro Accounting began life as a small, family-run, contractor accountancy firm with only a handful of local clients. A quarter of a century on and the Danbro Group now employs hundreds of people across a range of departments, delivering financial, payroll, and employment solutions to thousands of businesses, contractors and self-employed people across the UK.
We’re proud to have a fantastic team at Danbro. We currently employ roughly 150 people and we continue to grow!
We couldn’t have achieved the success we have without our dedicated, professional and hardworking team.
Scroll through our history to learn how our business has developed from strength to strength.
Supporting local and national charities is something which has always been important to us.
We currently work with Operation Orphan to improve the quality of life for orphans and vulnerable children across the globe in a holistic, culturally relevant and sustainable way.
Nottingham based Operation Orphan was established in 2003. Their focus derived from their aim to keep a child warm, safe, learning and healthy.
Danbro are the main sponsor of Operation Orphan, covering all of the administration cost to ensure that 100% of funds raised go directly to the causes they support.
We feel that ‘giving’ is an important part of the work we do, and we share a desire to make a difference in the world. So, we created the Danbro Foundation to formalise our intentions and solidify our behaviours around how our success helps others be successful. We focus on sharing our success both financially and through time commitment, to provide opportunity and support to those who need it most.
Our Foundation Board members are all employees of the Danbro Group and have a passion for what we do.
At Danbro, we’re committed to inclusivity for all. With over 250,000 people in the UK requiring Changing Places Toilets, we’re proud to offer these state-of-the-art facilities to all visitors. Our Jubilee House HQ ensures that everyone can enjoy their day with comfort, dignity, and safety, thanks to a spacious environment complete with a height-adjustable changing bench, peninsular toilet, and ceiling hoist.
At Danbro, we believe that a fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the Living Wage Scheme, ensuring all our employees earn a wage that reflects the real cost of living.
Supporting work-life balance and employee wellbeing isn’t just a priority, it’s part of who we are. This commitment is just one of the ways we’re striving to be a responsible, people-first employer that our team is proud to be part of.
Protecting the environment is an issue we’re passionate about. Over the years, Danbro’s Carbon Action Team have implemented many initiatives to reduce our carbon emissions and improve our energy efficiency.
To help reduce our mains water usage, Jubilee House is equipped with a rainwater harvesting system that collects and treats rainwater (which we get a lot of on the Fylde Coast!) before pumping it back into the building.
Our electric charge points, situated at the front of the building, are used regularly by members of staff, and mean we’re fully prepared for the future of electric motoring.
Inside Jubilee House, we use a ‘Follow Me’ printing system, which only releases print jobs when the user is physically at the printer. This smart setup helps reduce paper waste and discourages unnecessary printing, making our workplace that little bit greener.
We also introduced an automatic, overnight shutdown of all the building’s PCs, cutting our energy emissions dramatically.
Here at Danbro, compliance is non-negotiable. That’s why we’re extremely proud of our awards and accreditations, all of which are testament to our unwavering compliance commitment.
The FCSA Accreditation is awarded to umbrella companies, PSC Accountants and CIS providers that meet the highest standards of compliance, professionalism, and ethical practice. To earn this accreditation, businesses must undergo rigorous, continuous independent assessment by the Financial Compliance Standards Association (FCSA).
The FCSA assess a company’s financial stability, operating procedures, compliance with tax regulations, and adherence to the FCSA’s code of conduct. Being awarded this accreditation, Danbro prove to be above board and in line with the regulations for conducting our operations compliantly in the UK. Our FCSA accreditation is reviewed annually, so we are regularly assessed for compliance, ensuring we are keeping up with legislation changes.
The IIP (Investors in People) Accreditation awards companies who meet their high standards in effective people management and leadership. Their ‘We invest in people framework’ aims to improve work culture, work practices, communication and employee engagement within companies. By acquiring this accreditation at the Gold level, Danbro demonstrate our pledge to maintaining and continuously improving our strategy for managing and supporting the centre of our business- our employees.

The ISO 9001 accreditation shows that Danbro’s Quality Management System (QMS) meet the rigorous requirements of the ISO 9001 standard. In a nutshell, this shows a commitment to quality by ensuring our services are delivered to a high standard, meet regulatory requirements and above all, fulfil your needs as the customer.
The Cyber Essentials certification is a Government-backed scheme designed to help organisations safeguard themselves and their customers’ data from cyber attacks. Administered by IASME, this accreditation is supported by over 300 cyber security organisations across the UK and Crown Dependencies. At Danbro, we adhere to this framework, regularly assessing our systems each year to ensure we stay ahead of evolving cyber risks.
We shaped our core values by listening to our employees through focus groups and real conversations about what matters most.
Their feedback led us to define five key values that truly represent our culture and identity.
Resting on the banks of the River Ribble Estuary, and overlooking the iconic Lytham Green, Jubilee House has been our home since 2015. Having purchased the premises from the local council three years earlier, we lovingly converted the 1960s Land Registry Building into a stunning, modern, multi-purpose facility.
Home to dozens of other businesses, Jubilee House has fast become a Lytham landmark. Playing host to an array of events throughout the year, our unique, penthouse suite – ‘The Green Room’ – boasts enviable views of the Estuary, the windmill and, every summer, the acclaimed Lytham Festival.
