Brush Up Accounting in short
Brush Up Accounting is a Telford practice offering friendly virtual bookkeeping with a plain-English style. Bookkeeping comes with a named bookkeeper on a small team led by a Xero Accredited Adviser, and the site explains its services through free guides and client stories that show the teaching style up front. Our review finds it suits a sole trader anywhere in England who wants calm support without ever visiting an office.
Customer reviews sit near full marks across a modest set of Google reviews. What counts against Brush Up is paperwork: fees, VAT terms and insurance details stay off the site, leaving every figure to the quote. For a sole trader drowning in receipts, that steadying hand is the whole pitch.

Questions about Brush Up Accounting
Is Brush Up Accounting any good?
On the evidence, yes for virtual support: it ranks seventh in our Telford table, holds near full marks across its Google reviews, and fields a named bookkeeper under accredited Xero hands. The style is calm and plain-spoken. Book a call through the site and bring your books questions.
Is Brush Up a member of a professional body?
Xero Accredited Adviser status is stated on the business's own about page, which also names a dedicated bookkeeper on the team. That is a software accreditation rather than a professional licence. Ask what licences the team holds besides it. Check any number against the published lists.
How much does Brush Up charge?
It publishes no fees, rates or VAT terms on the pages checked, so your quote does all the talking. Send your monthly transactions and whether you need payroll or tax work alongside. Ask for a fixed monthly figure with the inclusions listed.
Where does Brush Up work?
The practice is based in Admaston, Telford, and works virtually with clients across England, so video calls replace office visits. Location matters less here than responsiveness. Send your postcode and books brief to confirm the fit. Book a call to judge the style.
How is Brush Up ranked?
It ranks seventh of the ten bookkeepers in our September round, picked for sole traders wanting calm virtual bookkeeping support. Customer evidence and its accredited setup lead its score. Read the full review, then book the introductory call. Ask what the monthly routine covers.
