New Studley base for Accounts Help

A Midlands accountancy firm is expanding into new premises at Haydon House in Studley, Warwickshire.

Accounts Help Ltd, a small family-owned and run business headed by Darren Williams, has taken 476 sq ft on a five-year lease.

And it has come a long way from its launch in 1993 with the help of Birmingham Chamber of Commerce when the then Williams Associates, operating from a back bedroom, had just a single customer.

Incorporated six years later, it offers payroll, book keeping, taxation and accountancy services.

Redditch-based Mr Williams said: “We decided it was time to have a High Street presence. Haydon House is a landmark building within Studley which has always been a bustling business and residential centre. This move is aimed at enhancing our local presence and making more people aware of Accounts Help and the services we provide.

“Our clients come from a vast array of business sectors and professions, from chimney sweeps to ball gown suppliers, from actors to recruitment agencies and from yoga teachers to second hand car dealers.

Ben Truslove, a director of John Truslove, said: “It is an excellent location, convenient for Redditch town centre and the motorway network.

“I am sure Accounts Help Ltd will thrive in Haydon House which acts as something of a focal point to the village.”

And, in case you were wondering, that very first customer is still a valued client over 20 years on!
