Cheylesmore Chartered Accountants

About Cheylesmore Chartered Accountants

Based at Electric Wharf in Coventry, with a second presence in Birmingham, this accountancy practice grew from a home-run operation into an established local firm led by its founder, a chartered accountant with a background in banking and consulting. It looks after small and medium-sized businesses, limited company directors and landlords, with particular depth in pharmacies, care homes, retail and wholesale, e-commerce and manufacturing. The practice combines cloud accounting tools with fixed monthly fees, so clients know their costs in advance. Beyond year-end accounts and tax returns, it helps new entrepreneurs incorporate a company, open a UK business bank account and keep Companies House filings up to date. Its team of around six named professionals covers bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, self assessment and HMRC enquiry support. The website is written for a domestic audience and does not present a dedicated service for foreign or non-resident clients.
