Accountants in Birmingham

Avonmead is an established Chartered Certified Accountancy Practice with offices at The Colmore Building, right at the heart of Birmingham’s business district. 

As we are based in Birmingham city centre, our offices couldn’t be easier to get to! We are just a short walk from Snow Hill and New Street train stations, and we also offer free parking to all our clients that are visiting our offices. 

Due to our great location, we encourage our local clients to come and meet with us when necessary. However, we are more than happy to go and meet our clients at their premises if they would prefer, and we are also happy to travel across the Midlands. Should you wish to arrange a meeting or an initial call to discuss our services in further detail, please contact us using the details below. 

As Chartered Certified Accountants we know the city is one of the UK’s best places to set up a business. Birmingham has a 5-year start-up survival rate of approximately 40% so it is home to many successful businesses. Many of these businesses have established longevity as a result of the city’s abundant opportunities and continual growth. 

Founded by Birmingham born Robert Simpson in 2017, Avonmead aims to help business owners grow, scale, adapt, and sustain their businesses within the ever-changing landscape of financial planning and online accounting. Avonmead is innovative in the way we use accessible and robust web-based technology, whilst still offering the flexibility to pick up the phone to a small team of dedicated accountants, who understand and knows a client’s individual business needs. 

We specialise in providing proactive, practical support to help you grow and scale up your business. Our team has extensive experience working at "Big Four" accountancy firm, KPMG and we focus on supporting start-up limited companies.

We differentiate ourselves from other accountancy firms that offer the standard accounting services in the following ways and we continue to evolve our business to ensure we utilise the latest cloud accounting technology to support you and your business.

1. We respond to all emails within a maximum of 24 hours. We consistently receive feedback from our clients and referral partners that our clients frequently receive responses within 1-2 hours that provide the concise, jargon free information they need to resolve any questions they have.

2. You are supported by a team of qualified accountants. It's great having one point of contact, but as we have experienced at other "Big Four" accountancy firms, there is nothing worse than when your services are disrupted by your accountant being away on holiday, with limited support available to you and your business. At Avonmead you are allocated a partner and a client manager to ensure you always receive a response and your services are not disrupted should a team member be unavailable. Our clients love the support of having a team of accountants helping their business to grow and answer any questions they have promptly. Whether you need support on how to extract your profits tax efficiently, how much should you pay yourself each month or supporting you during the process, you will always have a team of accountants to support you and your business.

3. Your team of accountants are based in the UK. This is one of our core values and fundamental to how we deliver our services to our clients. If you have any questions or if you are looking for prompt support and would like to pick up the phone to speak to your team of accountants or if you would like a face to face meeting, our team of accountants are more than happy to see you.  We have experienced first hand the frustrations from outsourcing bookkeeping overseas and this is why at Avonmead, we are committed to creating jobs and opportunities for our team based in our offices in Birmingham or Bristol. 

4. We are a young, modern and talented team of accountants with a remarkably low staff turnover. Our team have worked together for many years and our philosophy to develop talent from within helps us to retain the right people which in turn ensures you do not experience a change in accountant month after month. We've seen circumstances in other firms where the staff turnaround is so high clients have had 6 accountants in 12 months which causes a significant amount of disruption to a clients business.

5. We love technology. Why is this important? You can buy an iPhone from anybody, but the phone is just the beginning. The real excitement begins when you download your apps, but most importantly the right apps for you, the right apps for your business. We specialise in cloud accounting technology and we actively use technology in our business and personal lives on a daily basis. We can provide you with support on what payment solution you should use for your business or help you with integrating your e-commerce platform with your accounting system. Our team of accountants can help you identify software to support with areas such as cashflow forecasting, budgeting, e-commerce integrations, CRM solutions and much more.

6. We partner with start-up incubation hubs such as Birmingham Enterprice Community based at Alpha Works in Birmingham, helping start-up businesses across the Birmingham area. We also work closely with start-up companies at serviced offices such as iHub located on Colmore Gate in Birmingham and The Orega Building at 20 Colmore Circus Queensway. We are the number one choice for businesses looking to work with technology focused accountants based in Birmingham for start-up limited companies and SME businesses.
