Barnett Ravenscroft Chartered Accountants

About Barnett Ravenscroft Chartered Accountants

Established in Birmingham in 1975, this chartered practice works from a head office in Edgbaston and acts for clients across the UK. Its base is made up of small and medium owner-managed companies, several of which have stayed with the firm through three or four generations of family ownership, plus charities and private individuals who want help with succession and wealth planning. A related wealth-management company sits alongside the accountancy arm. Two partners lead the practice with managers handling accounts, audit, payroll and personal tax. The firm is registered with the ICAEW for audit work. Nothing on the website points to overseas clients or non-English languages, so the positioning is a long-established domestic practice that also helps entrepreneurs incorporate and then supports them as they grow.

Services

Services span statutory audit, annual and management accounts, bookkeeping, payroll with RTI and pension reporting, VAT, corporate and personal tax, capital gains, trusts and HMRC investigation support. For new ventures the firm advises on sole trader versus company status, forms the company, registers it for corporation tax, VAT and PAYE, and installs cloud software. Company secretarial work includes statutory filings, share allotments and transfers, minutes and statutory books. Additional help covers R&D tax credits, cash-flow forecasts, funding, mergers, valuations and exit planning.
