TaxAssist Accountants Telford in short
TaxAssist Accountants Telford is a Madeley shop-front practice offering dedicated bookkeeping on Xero, QuickBooks and Dext, with regular management accounts alongside. The ICAEW register lists the firm at its Madeley address, the office keeps weekday hours for visits or video calls, and the first consultation is free. Our review finds it suits a small firm that wants recognisable premises and modern software behind the books. Management accounts come as standard, so the numbers stay visible between year ends.
Customer reviews sit near full marks across dozens of Google reviews, a solid base for a shop-front practice. What counts against TaxAssist is pricing detail: fees are promised fixed and tailored to the job, but amounts and VAT terms stay off the site, and no insurance detail appears on the pages checked. The Madeley office keeps weekday hours, which suits anyone who prefers to talk face to face.
On services, the record shows dedicated bookkeeping on Xero, QuickBooks and Dext with regular management accounts alongside, plus self assessment and software help for small firms. The work runs from the Madeley high-street shop, which keeps weekday hours for visits alongside phone, form and video routes. That shop front is the differentiator in this table: several rivals meet you online or from a home office, while TaxAssist keeps a door you can walk through.
The customer evidence reads 4.8 from 32 Google reviews, seen this September, a solid bench for a shop-front practice without the volume the top scorer holds. Our read is that the ICAEW register listing does the heavy lifting alongside those reviews: registration you can check beats praise you cannot. What keeps TaxAssist second rather than first is the quote: fixed and tailored, but with amounts and VAT terms left to the conversation.
Our verdict
Our judgement: TaxAssist suits you if you want a recognisable shop-front practice minding your books on modern software, with an ICAEW register listing behind the name [2] [5]. The Madeley office keeps weekday hours for visits or video calls [1]. What counts against it is pricing detail: fixed-fee promise aside, amounts and VAT terms stay off the site [1] [2].
