Village Accountancy

Stepclever helps Village Accountancy work things out by providing some carefully calculated support.

When the accountancy firm Emma Jones and Michelle Wyatt had worked for for several years had to cease trading following the sad death of the proprietor it looked as if the strong relationship they had built up with clients would end.

But they saw there was still a demand from local businesses for accountancy services and decided to set up their own company.

Village Accountancy Services, based in Walton Village was set up to provide a quality accountancy service to small businesses, and individuals including services such as PAYE, tax returns and invoicing.

“Most of our clients when we started were small local business,” said Michelle, but we have now expanded into other areas as we have become better known.”

The business was set-up in January 2008 and was generating sales, although working conditions were not ideal when storing information and meeting clients.

Therefore it was decided that they would like to increase their profile and move into new premises to create a more professional image of the business. Premises were identified in the Stepclever area although renovation work needed to be carried out to make them more suitable.
 
A business plan identified that they needed to find additional funding. An application was made to Stepclever, to cover the start-up costs of equipment, repairs, IT, advertising and stationery.  This application was successful as was a further application to Train 2000 who also provided additional funding to assist with start-up costs.

“Stepclever and Train 2000 supported with our business plan and they were really helpful when we started up at our new premises, “said Michelle, “and thanks to the support we received from Stepclever and Train 2000, Village Accountancy Services is going from strength to strength and is now gaining further clients. “
