JH Accounting & Payroll Services in short

JH Accounting & Payroll Services is a Ketley Bank practice run through an active limited company, combining bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, management and year-end accounts with cloud software. A fixed price policy with monthly payments keeps billing predictable in shape, with flexible in-person, phone and video appointments. If you want accounts and payroll under one roof, this is the firm built for it.

Customer reviews are few but spotless, with full marks on Google across nine reviews, backed by site testimonials from sole traders and limited companies. Our view: JH suits you if you want the monthly routine handled by one team. The review base is the thinnest here and credentials go unstated, which keeps two gaps on the page. Flexible appointment options make a first conversation easy to arrange.

Our verdict

Our judgement: JH suits you if you want a Ketley practice covering the monthly routine — books, payroll, VAT — plus year-end accounts, on fixed prices with flexible appointments [1]. The full-marks reviews support the friendly style [3]. What counts against it is thin evidence: the smallest review base here, unstated qualifications and no insurance details [1] [3].

Is JH any good?

On the evidence, yes for combined books and payroll: it ranks ninth in our Telford table, holds full marks on Google, and puts accounts, VAT and year-end work under one roof on monthly plans. The review base is the thinnest here and credentials go unstated. Read the reviews next to the company record, then ask for the fixed-price quote.

Is JH a member of a professional body?

The site names no professional body or licence on the pages checked, so industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. The practice runs through an active limited company on the record for over half a decade. Ask the firm what credentials sit behind your work before you sign.

What does JH charge?

The firm runs a fixed price policy with monthly payment plans, which keeps billing predictable in shape, but no amounts, rate card or VAT position is published. That partial transparency is common in this round. List your payroll and accounts needs and ask for the fixed monthly figure in writing.
