Contact Our Norwich Accountants

We sit at 17-19 St Georges Street, in the middle of Norwich, just north of the river in the part of the city people still call Norwich-over-the-Water. The Norwich Lanes are a short walk away over St George’s Bridge, and if you know the Norwich Playhouse then you already know our street.

Driving in? The nearest car park is the St Andrews multi-storey on Duke Street, a few minutes away on foot, and there are several other city centre car parks within easy walking distance if that one is full. Blue Badge holders will find on-street bays on St Georges Street itself, near the Playhouse.

We are open Monday to Friday and the office closes at 5pm. You are welcome to drop in, though a quick call on 01603 627963 first means we can make sure the right person is free to sit down with you.

Most of the people who come through our door are running something small. Sole traders. One-person limited companies. Family firms with a handful of staff, landlords, and people who simply want a tax return done properly and off their mind. We look after clients right across Norwich and Norfolk, plus a good number elsewhere in the UK who we have never met in person. Video call, email, phone. It works perfectly well.

If you run a limited company, we take care of the year end accounts, corporation tax and payroll, along with your own position as a director, so the whole picture joins up instead of sitting in separate boxes.

Just starting out? That is the stage where good advice is worth the most and costs the least. Sole trader or limited company, what you need to register for, the point at which VAT starts to matter, how to keep records without losing your evenings to it. We do a lot of this, and there is more on our startup accountants page.

Not everyone wants the full service, and that is fine. Plenty of clients come to us purely for a self assessment or partnership tax return and nothing else.

If you are not sure what you need, that is normal. Have a look at the accountancy services we cover, then get in touch. Almost everyone starts with a free initial consultation, no obligation attached. We would far rather spend half an hour working out whether we are the right fit than sign you up to something that does not suit you.

It depends entirely on what needs doing, and anyone who quotes a figure before asking about your business is guessing. A sole trader with a straightforward tax return sits at one end of the scale, a limited company with payroll, VAT and monthly management accounts at the other. We work on fixed monthly fees, agreed with you and written down before any work begins, so nothing lands unexpectedly.

Yes. The first meeting costs nothing and carries no obligation to go any further. Come and tell us what you are dealing with, and we will be straight with you about whether we can help and what it would cost if we did.

If your affairs really are simple, one employment and nothing else, you can probably file it yourself in an evening. Things stop being simple faster than most people expect though. Rental income, a bit of self employment, dividends, a capital gain, a pension question. Once you are there, an accountant usually costs less than the mistakes do, and you get the weekend back that you were about to lose to it.

In the UK the word accountant is not a protected title, so anybody can use it. Chartered and chartered certified accountants have qualified through a professional body such as the ICAEW, ICAS or ACCA, and they are bound by that body’s rules on training, ethics and professional indemnity insurance. It is a fair question to put to any firm you are considering, including us.

Ask who will actually be doing your work, and whether you can reach that person directly when something is urgent. Ask whether they have handled businesses like yours, because a builder, a café and a software contractor bring completely different problems through the door. Check which bookkeeping software they work with and whether it is the one you already use. Then look at how quickly they replied to your first enquiry, because that tells you a lot about what the rest of the relationship will feel like.
