ChadStone Accountancy & Tax in short

ChadStone Accountancy and Tax is a Hadley-based practice run through a company record stretching back over a decade, with bookkeeping listed among the business services on its contact form. The style is personal, from open-plan meetings to client events, and the Hadley Park East office takes meetings in person, with accounting and auditing on the company record. Our review finds it suits a small business that wants bookkeeping inside a wider accountancy relationship.

Customer reviews hold full marks across more than a hundred Google reviews, the largest review base in this round. What counts against ChadStone is paperwork: no professional membership, prices or insurance details are published, which keeps it outside our top-ten table. Our review holds the door open: missing detail sent now counts in the next round.

On services, the record shows bookkeeping offered as one business service among company accounts, VAT and tax planning on the contact form, with accounting and auditing sitting on the company record behind it. The offer reads as bookkeeping as part of an ongoing accountancy relationship rather than standalone record-keeping. The practice works from its Hadley Park East office in Telford, taking meetings in person, and the personal style runs from open-plan meetings to client events. Telford businesses sit at its centre.

The customer evidence comes from a single source and it could hardly be warmer: full marks across a triple-figure Google review base. The headline sits at 5 from 109 reviews, seen this September. Nothing from any other review platform sits among the held sources, so that one record is the whole customer picture. Our view is that this depth of goodwill is the firm's strongest card, set against the thin paperwork.

Questions about ChadStone Accountancy & Tax

Is ChadStone Accountancy and Tax any good?

On the evidence, yes for relationship cover: it holds full marks across more than a hundred Google reviews, the largest base in this round, and offers an office you can visit. It sits outside our top-ten table over missing paperwork. Send your books brief and judge the reply on its merits.

Is ChadStone a member of a professional body?

No professional membership or licence is stated on the pages checked, so industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the website. That is a fact about the record, not a judgement on the work. Ask what licences the team holds. Check any answer against the published lists. Send the licence number with your first enquiry so the check takes moments.

How much does ChadStone charge?

It publishes no fees, rates or VAT terms on the pages checked, so your quote does all the talking. Use the contact form's bookkeeping option to describe your transactions and staff. Ask for a fixed figure with the VAT position stated. Name your transaction volume and payroll headcount in the same message so the figure comes back itemised.

Where does ChadStone work?

The practice works from Hadley Park East in Telford, taking meetings in person at its office. Telford businesses sit at its centre. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm cover. Ask about meeting routes and who you would meet. The office sits at The Hangar on Hadley Park East, with phone and email on the contact page.

How is ChadStone ranked?

It was assessed in our September round but sits outside the top-ten table, held back by missing checkable detail on qualifications, prices and insurance rather than by its reviews. Read the full review page. Use the Claim a listing link to send updated detail. The September round holds ten ranked firms alongside the researched pages.

How do I get a quote from ChadStone?

Use the contact form on the firm's website and choose the bookkeeping option, since the site publishes no fees, rates or VAT terms. Describe your monthly transactions, whether you employ staff and whether you are VAT-registered, then ask for a fixed figure with the VAT position stated. The Hadley Park East office also takes meetings in person, so say if you would rather talk the brief through face to face.

What do customers say about ChadStone?

What customers say is warm but single-sourced: full marks across the largest Google review base in this round. The held evidence names no other platform, so the Google listing itself is the place to read the detail behind the headline. That breadth of goodwill is the firm's strongest card. If you have used the firm, leave your own review through the form on this page.

How does ChadStone compare with the ranked firms in this round?

Its reviews stand with the strongest in the round, but its paperwork sits apart: the ten ranked firms each publish more checkable detail on qualifications, prices or cover. ChadStone suits a small business that values an office to visit and a long company record over a published price list. Read its full review beside a ranked page such as Spotlight Accounting, then judge the quotes side by side.
