Quest CMA Ltd

About Quest CMA Ltd

Describing itself as a practice of chartered management accountants, this Birmingham firm says it has served businesses since 2008 and reports more than fifteen years of experience. Although its office is in the city's St Paul's Square, most clients are handled online across England and Wales through video calls and electronic signatures, and it advises Scottish businesses to consider a local specialist. The emphasis is on new and small businesses: sole traders, freelancers and owner-managed limited companies, with a separate start-up offering that covers choosing a legal structure, registering the company and building sound bookkeeping habits. Work is billed mainly on fixed monthly fees, though no amounts are published. The site is in English and contains no stated international, non-resident or multilingual focus. A free initial conversation with a qualified accountant is offered, and guides for new owners are provided.
