Our Story

Middlebrook Accountancy is run by Nick and Liv, a husband-and-wife duo based in Manningtree, Essex, with their snoozy sidekick Jim the whippet. Lifelong locals, they love supporting the brilliant businesses in their community—and having a good laugh along the way.

Nick Middlebrook

ACCA MAAT

Nick is a certified chartered accountant with over 10 years of experience and a borderline obsession with solving problems. Known for his sharp eye for detail and calm reliability, he’s the guy you want in your corner when things get complicated. When he's not balancing books, you'll probably find him with a coffee in one hand and a golf club in the other. He’s got a soft spot for finance books—and a not-so-secret love for dance music.

Liv Middlebrook

After a decade in teaching, Liv has swapped the classroom for business. A big-picture thinker with a love of creativity, she’s full of fresh ideas and always up for a chat. She's passionate about helping businesses grow in bold, imaginative ways. When she's not working, you’ll probably find her wandering through the woods at Furze Hill, slice of cake in hand, lost in an adventure story.

Jim the Whippet

Jim is a 7-year-old whippet and the team’s honorary nap specialist. While he takes his office snoozing very seriously, for anything urgent it’s probably best to speak to Nick or Liv.
