HPL Accountancy in short
HPL Accountancy is a Telford practice putting bookkeeping at the core, with Xero support, VAT returns and payroll around it. The company record is young but checkable, with bookkeeping among its stated trades, and the Telford base gives you somewhere real to reach, with secretarial and year-end services rounding out the offer. Our review finds it suits a sole trader or small firm that wants the whole bookkeeping load lifted.
Customer reviews hold full marks across a healthy set of Google reviews, a strong start for a young practice. What counts against HPL is paperwork: no professional membership is stated and no fees or insurance details are published. Early reviews suggest the foundations are sound; the published record has maturing to do.
Our verdict
Our judgement: HPL suits you if you want a Telford accountant to take the whole bookkeeping load off your plate, with Xero running underneath [1]. Forty Google reviews sit at full marks [3]. What counts against it is paperwork: qualifications, prices and insurance details are unpublished, and the company record starts in 2023 [1] [2].
