Burntwood small business accountant

Hey, I am Tom, an independent accountant helping clients in and around Burntwood.

If you’re on the lookout for a Burntwood accountant, I am here to help.

I work with small business owners who need more hands-on support. Typically, clients come to me when they’re not getting the help they need from their current accountant.

It could be unexpected bills, not answering your calls or feeling like you’re getting the same questions over and over.

Helping you with; sole trader accounts, limited company accounts, bookkeeping, VAT returns, tax returns, and payroll. All services that will make your life easier and remove the dreaded tax headache.

It starts with the basics, caring about your business, answering the phone, and set packages so you’re not landed with whopping great bills unexpectedly.

All fees are agreed upfront and in set monthly packages, so you know exactly what you’re paying each month.

Meeting your tax deadlines are just part of the service, but the other part is equally important, being there for you when you have questions and need extra support.

Clients have said I would like to share what a pleasure it has been working with Tom at Every Cloud Accounting” and that’s what it’s all about, having a stress free service and making your life easier. Because let’s be honest, running a business is hard enough as it is.

Common questions to finding an accountant in Burntwood

How long does it take to change accountants?

Transitioning to a new accountant typically takes between 24 hours to a couple of weeks. Once we decide to work together, I’ll guide you through the onboarding steps within a day. After completing these steps, I’ll handle the necessary checks and request professional clearance from your previous accountant. A realistic timeframe for the entire process is about 2-3 weeks.

How much does it cost to work with you?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but to give you an idea:

  • Sole trader accounts: Start from £450 per year.
  • Small Limited Company accounts: Start at £110 per month.

While I may not be the cheapest option in Burntwood, my packages are designed to provide the extra support you need.

Can we meet face-to-face in Burntwood?

Absolutely! While many clients prefer to communicate over WhatsApp, other clients appreciate the value of in-person meetings. The packages are designed to suit what your support needs are; if you would like an in person detailed review of your accounts, you can.

Can I contact you if I need to speak to you?

Drumroll…. Yes! I pride myself on being responsive and available. You won’t experience ghosting or unanswered calls. I’m here to support you and will be on the end of a phone call or email when you need me.

I would recommend Tom Smith to anyone who would require some advice and help in sorting out their yearly tax forms. He is very approachable, quick to reply to any queries you may have and adaptable to work with people's different financial capabilities allowing a person peace of mind.

I booked in for a 'power hour' session with Tom as being a relatively new business there are so many elements of accounting that are confusing and can leave you feeling a bit unsure how to move forward. The session with Tom was so helpful and exceeded my expectations - we managed to address so many different areas within the hour and put to rest things that I had been struggling with for some time. This gave me peace of mind and supported a clearer avenue forward with my accounting and tax. Tom has a really personable and down to earth style when giving explanations and advice, making conversations with him really easy to understand. He really understood my concerns and tailored his focus and advice to my business circumstances. I would highly recommended Tom and wouldnt hesitate to book in with him again for further support as my business grows.

I have been using Every Cloud Accounting for almost a year now. I had previously been using a large online company who weren't giving me the support I needed as a first time business owner. This is where Tom is amazing . His approachable helpful style takes away that barrier to not ask questions. He's always happy to explore new ways to help my business and always happy to explain my account submissions. He's an asset to my business and could not recommend enough.

I wasn't sure if I needed to speak to an accountant, but having decided to contact Tom I'm so glad I did.I was worried my questions might be too basic but he was so helpful, and gave me tips about using the Government Gateway so it no longer seem so overwhelming.You don't need to earn a big income to find an accountant helpful!I have now done a couple of things with HMRC to ensure my self assesment will be more straight forward and less daunting.If you are thinking of contacting Tom, I can't recommend him highly enough.A very knowledgeable and patient accountant - so good at explaining the whole process!

Tom at Every Cloud Accounting is simply brilliant. He is really easy to work with, and doesn't bamboozle us with a million questions - he does his job brilliantly whilst leaving us to run our business. I have worked with countless accountants over the years and Tom is the first one that I have actually enjoyed working with! In just six months he has set us up on QuickBooks and Dext, has produced a three year financial forecast for a funding application and offered us advice on tax and dividends - all whilst keeping up with our book keeping and VAT returns. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for an approachable, friendly and professional accountant.

Finding an accountant in Burntwood – The big questions

Will my current accountant know I have contacted you?

No, I would only contact your current accountant after we had agreed to work together and once, I have received written permission to do so. Until you have done so, no contact will ever be made.

What is a discovery call and do I have to commit to working with you?

A discovery call is a no pressure, 15-minute call, so I can find out more about you and your business. A discovery call is all about seeing if we are a good fit, both ways. If you’re not confident I can help you, it doesn’t make sense to work together.

Can we work together still if I am halfway through my accounting period?

Of course, you can change accountants at any point. If you have immediate deadlines within the next few weeks, it makes sense getting these submitted. But after that I can onboard you at any point, there will be an alignment fee to bring you up to date, then a monthly package moving forward.

The next step

If you’re looking for Burntwood accountant and think I could help you, please either request a quote below or book a discovery call here. We can then have a 15-minute phone call so I can find out more about you and your business.

Look forward to speaking!
