Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses in Rocester, Marchington, and the surrounding Uttoxeter area?
Yes, we support businesses throughout Uttoxeter and rural East Staffordshire including Rocester, Doveridge, Marchington, Abbots Bromley, and Denstone. Uttoxeter is approximately 17 miles from our Stoke-on-Trent office (20-minute drive via A50/A518). We offer video consultations for routine meetings and in-person meetings at our Stoke office for onboarding. Our rural business expertise means we understand agricultural accounting, seasonal trading, and countryside business challenges.
What makes Uttoxeter businesses unique from an accounting perspective?
Uttoxeter combines market town heritage with JCB manufacturing presence and racecourse hospitality. We work with agricultural businesses (farms, equestrian, rural diversification), racecourse-linked hospitality, manufacturing firms, and countryside tourism. Uttoxeter businesses often need accounting that understands agricultural reliefs, seasonal income patterns, Single Payment Scheme, and rural business grants. Whether you're a traditional Uttoxeter market trader or a modern agri-tech business, we understand the local rural economy.
How quickly can you onboard new Uttoxeter clients?
We can usually onboard new Uttoxeter clients within 1-2 weeks. The process involves an initial video consultation (or in-person meeting at our Stoke office), reviewing your current accounting setup, and setting up cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage). Most Uttoxeter clients are fully operational within 2-3 weeks. The 17-mile distance makes us one of the closest ACCA-regulated practices to rural East Staffordshire.
Do you understand agricultural and rural business accounting in Uttoxeter?
Yes - many Uttoxeter businesses have agricultural links (farming, equestrian, rural tourism, farm shops). We understand agricultural accounting including livestock valuations, Single Payment Scheme, capital allowances for farm equipment, Agricultural Property Relief for IHT, and succession planning for family farms. We also support JCB supply chain businesses and racecourse hospitality operations with their specific accounting needs.

What to Bring to Your First Meeting
For your initial consultation, please bring:
For limited companies:
- Latest filed accounts (if transferring from another accountant)
- Recent management accounts or bank statements (last 3 months)
- Details of any HMRC queries or outstanding compliance issues
- List of current software used (accounting, payroll, CIS)
For sole traders:

Don't worry if you're missing items - we can request these from HMRC or your previous accountant (with your authority).

We help get everything organised including livestock valuations and Single Payment Scheme accounting.
