Richard Walker

Partner - Chartered Accountant

Headshot of Richard Walker

I qualified with Forrester Boyd in 2012 prior to travelling which included a brief overseas role in industry.

I returned to the UK to take up an audit role with a top-tier firm in Leeds, progressing to Audit Partner at a nearby regional firm before rejoining Forrester Boyd to head up the new Leeds office in 2025. I work predominantly with SMEs and large corporates across a range of industries delivering best in class accounting, audit and assurance services.

Interests

A passionate football fan and proud Leeds season ticket holder, I thrive on the excitement of live sport, having experienced the electrifying atmosphere of the Ryder Cup, Rugby and Cricket World Cups. My love for travel has taken me to 53 countries (and counting!). I’m also dedicated to fitness, whether it’s hitting the gym or pushing my limits on a run.

If you weren’t an accountant, what would you be?

A teacher - having 5 nephews has trained me well!
