Coworking spaces in Leeds for freelancers and entrepreneurs

Clever Accounts

In the past decade, Leeds and its surrounding areas have become a thriving hot spot for new industries. Leeds city centre has evolved into one of the biggest hubs in the UK for IT, Cyber, Fintech, Medtech, marketing, and design.
With an increasing demand for creative and digital talent, the local freelancing community has grown by leaps and bounds and along with it, the co-working culture of the north.
Today, coworking spaces provide much more than just a desk to connect your laptop to. They actually bring clever minds and wonderful people together, providing a comfortable surface to be inspired, grow and feel part of a vibrant business community.

Why Leeds?

Clever Accounts is a proud Yorkshire based accountancy firm and we are always happy to show our support for local businesses and the freelancing community as a whole.
