Granville Bookkeeping Services in short
Granville Bookkeeping Services is a Telford sole-trader practice offering bookkeeping, self assessment and VAT help to sole traders and small firms [1]. Self assessment, VAT returns, CIS and management reports sit alongside bookkeeping in one service list, and a no-obligation quotation is offered with phone and email contact up front [1]. That reachable one-person setup defines Granville Bookkeeping Services. Quotes come with no obligation, which suits a first try [1].
The practice is a sole-trader setup in Telford, quoting with no obligation by phone, email or form [1]. Bookkeeping, self assessment, VAT returns, CIS and management reports cover the core small-firm jobs in one list, which in our view suits a sole trader who wants the books done without hiring a firm. The listed Telford base keeps things personal, which is the point of a one-person practice. Management reports next to VAT returns suggest clients who watch the numbers monthly.
Customer reviews are solid, with Granville holding 4.9 on Google [2]. It sits outside our ranked ten, and what counts against it, in our view, is the thin paper trail, with no prices, credentials or trading history published [1]. For straightforward books, that thin trail may matter less than the price. For straightforward books, responsiveness may matter more than letterheads. Nineteen ratings is a modest base, a start rather than a record in our view.
Our verdict
Our view: Granville suits a sole trader or small firm that wants bookkeeping, self assessment and VAT help from a reachable local practice [1]. The review record is solid across 19 ratings [2]. Against that, the site shows no prices, no credentials and no trading history [1].

Questions about Granville Bookkeeping Services
Is Granville Bookkeeping Services any good?
On the evidence, yes for straightforward bookkeeping: 4.9 on Google, with self assessment, VAT returns and CIS help from a reachable practice [1] [2]. It sits outside our ranked ten, so read the full review first. Contact the firm by phone or email for a no-obligation quotation. Nineteen ratings is a modest base, so read them all before you call.
Is Granville a member of a professional body?
No professional registration is published on the pages checked, so membership cannot be sourced from the site [1]. Ask which body, if any, the bookkeeper answers to, and check the answer yourself. Get the position in writing before you agree work. Ask about qualifications at the quote stage and judge the answer on its merits.
What does Granville charge?
No prices are published, though a no-obligation quotation is offered with phone and email contact up front [1]. That means your enquiry does the talking: describe your books and ask for the quote in writing. Confirm what the figure covers before you agree anything. Sole-trader pricing should be simple, so expect one clear figure.
Where does Granville work?
The practice sits in Telford and serves Telford clients [1]. If you are further out, send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Expect the quotation after the first contact, with the scope and fee set out. The Telford base keeps travel short for borough clients and first meetings simple.
How do I get a quote from Granville?
Ask for the no-obligation quotation by phone, email or form, describing your books, VAT position and any CIS work [1]. Confirm the figure with the scope shown beside it before you agree anything. The quote is free, so testing the fit costs little. A sole trader can usually quote faster than a larger firm.
What do the reviews say about Granville?
The reviews say solid rather than spectacular: 4.9 on Google across nineteen ratings, with reachable service the theme [2]. Nineteen is a modest base next to the hundred-plus trails at the top of our table. Read the ratings yourself, then test the firm with the no-obligation quote before committing. Treat the quote, not the stars, as the real test.
How does Granville compare with the others in this round?
It sits outside our ranked ten, so treat it as an alternative to Brush Up and HPL for simple books rather than a rival to them. The ranked firms bring longer trails and fuller commercial detail. Where Granville wins is the reachable one-person setup with a no-obligation quote. Test it with a small job first.
