Celebrating 100 years of GWA

In 1918, a branch office of the Newcastle firm Greaves & Armstrong Accountants was established in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Over the past 100 years the world has changed beyond recognition. The accountancy profession is also very different to what it was in 1918. GWA has continued to adapt to new ways of working, while maintaining the traditional values on which it was founded. Our philosophy of providing Quality Advice and Quality Service has been the building block for our continued growth and success.

We recognise that each of our clients, past and present, has played a part in our success story. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and look forward to working with you in the next phase of GWA’s history.
