WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Why Aldergate
Business Services?
We’re not your average bookkeeping and admin support service, and we’re proud of that.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Built by reputation.
Not marketing
We’ve grown organically, through referrals and word of mouth, not flashy campaigns. That means every client we work with has chosen us because of the experience we provide, not because of a Google ad. Our focus has always been on doing excellent work, delivering results, and earning trust.
And it shows in the relationships we’ve built.
Clients
Who Stay
We’re proud of our high client retention rate.
Most of our clients have been with us for years, valuing our proactive, dependable approach and our commitment to their success.
We become part of your team, always there when you need us.
Recognised by HMRC
for exemplary practice
It’s not just our clients who trust us! HMRC has formally recognised our work as exemplary.
That’s a big deal in our world, and it reflects the care, precision, and compliance-first approach we bring to everything we do. You’ll never have to worry about things slipping through the cracks.
Fully embedded in
your workflow
We adapt to you. Whether you prefer a weekly check-in on WhatsApp, a phone call once a month, or the occasional face-to-face meeting, we’ll fit right in.
We work flexibly across email, shared cloud folders, collaborative tools and more, becoming an integrated part of your business operations. We don’t just plug in we show up.
Approachable, detailed,
and quietly brilliant
We’re not here to overwhelm you with jargon or show off our spreadsheets. We’re here to make your life easier.
Professional, yes! But always human. As an AAT-certified practice, we pay close attention to the details that matter and spot things you might miss. We’ll never chase the spotlight, but you’ll know we’re there, keeping your financial house in order.
A fresh, modern take on
traditional bookkeeping
Built for today’s business owners, ABS blends the trustworthiness of traditional accountants with the efficiency, adaptability & flexibility of a modern practice.
We’re tech-forward, brand-savvy, and always looking for ways to improve how things run behind the scenes, without losing the personal touch.
Why not see how we can help lighten the load?
Let’s talk through what you need – no pressure, no jargon.

Got Questions?
We’ve Got
the Answers
From bookkeeping basics to how we work, here’s everything you might be wondering
(and a few things you haven’t thought of yet!)
What types of businesses do you support with bookkeeping and accounting?
We primarily work with small limited companies, sole traders, and growing businesses who need reliable financial support but don’t want the overhead of hiring in-house. If you’re running your own office, juggling client work, or expanding your team, we’re the people who’ll quietly keep your finances in check while you focus on everything else. Whether you need basic bookkeeping or more integrated, full-practice support, we tailor our services to suit your stage of business and ambitions.
Do you offer cloud-based bookkeeping services?
Yes – we’re a Xero-focused practice and believe in using cloud-based tools that genuinely make life easier for you. Whilst we usually recommend Xero, we do support clients using Quickbooks and Sage. We also work with supporting platforms like Dext, Apron and Hubdoc to streamline your workflows. We’ll set up your systems, train you if needed, and offer ongoing support – or handle everything behind the scenes. Our goal is always to reduce admin, increase visibility, and give you real-time insight into your numbers.
What’s included in your payroll services?
Our payroll services go beyond just sending payslips. We take full ownership of the process: we’ll run weekly, fortnightly or monthly payrolls depending on your schedule, manage auto-enrolment for pensions, submit RTI reports to HMRC, and make sure everything’s accurate and on time. We’ll also keep you compliant with the latest legislation, so you’re never caught out. Think of it as hands-off payroll, handled with care.
Can you help with business admin tasks like utilities and insurance?
Absolutely – this is one of the areas where we really go the extra mile. Many of our clients come to us for bookkeeping but stay because we help them sort out everything from insurance renewals and energy supplier changes, to reviewing phone systems and making sure they’re not overpaying on services. We like to think of ourselves as your financial admin partner – we’re proactive, we shop around, and aim to keep you informed if there’s a better deal or a smarter way to do things.
Do you offer support for tax planning and cashflow forecasting?
Yes, and it’s a core part of how we help our clients grow sustainably. Knowing where your money is going – and when it’s coming in – is crucial for good business decisions. We provide simple, understandable cashflow forecasts, work with you on upcoming tax obligations, and make sure you’re prepared for things like VAT, corporation tax, and future investments. It’s not just about compliance – it’s about clarity. You’ll always know where you stand.
How does working with you differ from a traditional accountant?
We’re not a suit-and-tie kind of service. We work closely with our clients, adapting to their ways of working – whether that’s jumping on a Teams call, having a WhatsApp chat, or sitting down face-to-face for regular catch-ups. Our support is consistent, collaborative, and genuinely hands-on. You’ll never feel like you’re being passed around or treated like a number. We care about getting it right, and we build long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and proper follow-through.
Where are you based?
We’re proudly based in Tamworth – a town that means a lot to us, with our business name even nodding to our family roots here. But our services aren’t limited by geography. Thanks to cloud accounting and remote tools, we support businesses all across the UK. Whether you’re in the next town or the next county, we’ll still provide the same attentive, high-quality service you’d expect from someone just down the road.
How do I get started with Aldergate Business Services?
Getting started is as simple as reaching out. Contact us to discuss what you need, and we’ll get to know what you do, where you’re at, and what kind of support you’re looking for. From there, we’ll recommend a service setup that suits you – no jargon, no fluff, just what you need to get organised and feel in control. Whether you want help with a backlog or need ongoing monthly support, we’ll meet you where you’re at.
Why should I outsource my bookkeeping and admin support?
Outsourcing your finance admin frees you up to focus on growing your business, serving clients, or just getting your evenings back. With us, you don’t just get a service – you get a partner who’s reliable, organised, and invested in your success. We’ll keep things compliant, tidy, and moving forward, while you stay out of the spreadsheets and in the driver’s seat. Plus, you won’t have to hire internally – saving you time, money, and management stress.
