Brush Up Accounting in short
Brush Up Accounting is a Telford-based virtual practice run through an active limited company, serving sole traders, limited companies, creatives and landlords. Work runs on Xero with fixed monthly fees reviewed quarterly, led by a qualified founder heading a small team. If you want a calm, jargon-free accountant who meets you on video, this is the firm built for it.
Customer reviews are modest but warm, with near full marks on Google across seventeen reviews, and the site carries testimonials praising fast, plain-English help. Our view: Brush Up suits you if you want predictable billing and meetings that fit around your week. The practice is young and fee amounts stay unpublished, which keeps two gaps on the page. Video, screen-share and in-person meetings keep contact flexible around your week.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Brush Up suits you if you want a virtual Telford accountant with a calm, explanatory style and predictable monthly billing [1] [2]. The 17-review record at 4.8 is modest but warm [4]. What counts against it is unpublished detail: no fee amounts and no insurance details appear on the site [1] [2].

Questions about Brush Up Accounting
Is Brush Up Accounting any good?
On the evidence, yes for remote-first small firms: it ranks sixth in our Telford table, holds near full marks on Google, and pairs fixed monthly billing with video meetings and plain-English help. The practice is young and fee amounts stay unpublished. Read the reviews next to the company record, then ask for your monthly figure in writing.
Is Brush Up Accounting qualified?
The about page describes founder Jana Ward as a qualified accountant and Xero Accredited Adviser, working with a small team of accountants and a bookkeeper. That is a statement on the firm's own website; the registers themselves were not searchable for this round, so we record it as stated. Ask the firm to confirm the credentials in its engagement letter.
What does Brush Up Accounting charge?
Fees are fixed monthly and reviewed quarterly, which keeps billing predictable, but no amounts, rate card or VAT position is published. That partial transparency is common in this round. List your services, from year-end to payroll, and ask for the fixed monthly figure covering each one in writing.
Where does Brush Up Accounting work?
The practice is Telford-based but works as a virtual firm, meeting clients on video and screen share alongside in-person time for local clients. That suits owners who prefer no office visits. Send your postcode with your enquiry to confirm the pattern works for you. Ask who in the team would handle your books.
How is Brush Up Accounting ranked?
It ranks sixth of the ten accountants in our September round, picked for small firms wanting calm, fixed-fee virtual accounting. Its review base is modest, so read the reviews alongside the testimonials and the company record. Read the full review above, then ask for the fixed monthly figure.
