HPL Accountancy in short
HPL Accountancy is a Telford practice offering VAT, payroll and self-assessment help to sole traders and small firms, mainly working remotely [1]. What stands out at HPL Accountancy is responsiveness backed by stated credentials: Xero Advisor and Tax Specialist, QuickBooks ProAdvisor and IAB membership, with contact by phone, email and WhatsApp plus a free-consultation booking route [1] [2]. The firm works from Broadway House on Haygate Road and answers across all four channels [1].
The base is Broadway House on Haygate Road in Wellington, and the working style is remote-first, with phone, email and WhatsApp channels plus a free-consultation booking route [1]. Xero, QuickBooks and IAB credentials sit on a dedicated page of the site, which in our view suits a sole trader who wants cloud software handled properly from day one. The free consultation is the pricing desk, since no figures appear on the site. Haygate Road sits on the Wellington side of Telford, handy for the north of the borough.
Customer reviews are spotless, with HPL holding five stars on Google [4]. What counts against it, in our view, is youth and opacity on price: the company record starts in 2023 and the site shows no fees or insurance details [1] [3]. That many clean five-star ratings in a short trading life is a fast start, in our view.
Our verdict
Our view: HPL suits a sole trader or small firm that wants VAT, payroll and self-assessment help from a responsive remote practice with stated software credentials [1] [2]. The review record is a clean 40 five-star ratings [4]. Against that, the company record starts in 2023 and the site shows no fees or insurance details [1] [3].

Questions about HPL Accountancy
Is HPL Accountancy any good?
On the evidence, yes for remote help: third in our Telford tax advisers table, five stars on Google, with VAT, payroll and self-assessment support by phone, email and WhatsApp [1] [4]. The company record is recent, so read the limitations first. Book the free consultation through the website. The Wellington base with remote working covers the borough well.
Is HPL Accountancy a member of a professional body?
IAB membership is stated on its accreditations page, alongside Xero Advisor and Tax Specialist and QuickBooks ProAdvisor credentials [2]. No membership number is printed on the pages checked, so ask for the details. Check them yourself before you agree work. The site also names Xero Tax Specialist status, which fits self-assessment work.
What does HPL Accountancy charge?
No fee figures are published on the pages checked [1]. That means your enquiry does the talking: describe your business and records, then ask for the monthly figure in writing. Confirm what the fee covers before you agree anything, including software. Use the free consultation to pin the monthly figure down.
Where does HPL Accountancy work?
The practice sits on Haygate Road in Telford and works with Telford clients, largely remotely [1]. If you are further out, send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Book the free consultation to start the conversation. Remote working means the postcode matters less than the software you use.
How is HPL Accountancy ranked?
It ranks third of the ten tax advisers in our September round, our pick for responsive remote accountancy. Its company record is recent and the site shows no fees, so weigh those gaps yourself. Read the full review before the free consultation. The gap above it is small, and the software credentials compare well.
How do I get a quote from HPL Accountancy?
Book the free consultation through the website and bring a summary of your books, VAT position and payroll needs so the monthly figure reflects the work [1]. Ask what the fee covers, including the software licence, and get the figure before you agree anything. Remote working means the quote can usually follow quickly.
How does HPL compare with the others in this round?
It is our third place and the most remote-first of the accountants, against Turas and its qualified team and Brush Up and its plain-English guides. Where Spotlight offers the full menu with cover stated, HPL offers speed and software credentials with a younger company record. Shortlist it against one other remote practice.
