Home / Practice

A small practice that answers the phone.

Balsworth & Co. is four chartered partners and a team of nine, working with about 180 owner-managed companies from one office near the Bank of England.

The Balsworth office — a plain room with desks, printed accounts and even daylight

We started Balsworth in 2009 with one belief that hasn’t changed: an accountant’s whole value is exactness, so the fee should be exact too. You agree a fixed monthly figure before we begin, and it doesn’t move because a job took longer than we thought — that’s our problem to solve, not yours to pay for.

Every client has a named partner and a named bookkeeper. You will not meet a call centre or a chatbot. When you ring during office hours, someone who knows your file picks up.
