Brush Up Accounting in short

Brush Up Accounting is a small Telford practice offering tax and accounts help in plain language to sole traders and landlords [1] [2]. Tax returns, self assessment guides and Making Tax Digital support sit up front on the site, the founder is presented as a qualified accountant and Xero Accredited Adviser, and fixed monthly fees reviewed quarterly are stated, which is the core of the Brush Up Accounting offer [1] [2]. The practice serves Telford from Admaston, with a book-a-call route for first contact [1].

Customer reviews are positive across seventeen Google ratings, with Brush Up holding 4.8 [4]. What counts against it, in our view, is what is missing: no fee figures and no insurance details appear on the pages checked, and the company record starts in 2021, which is young for this table [1] [2] [3].
