About Us

Severn Bookkeeping is a small family business specialising in assisting the financial needs of small and medium businesses. We keep our costs low by operating from our home-office, this way we can pass the savings on to you.
We offer services covering all aspects of your finances: accounts, bookkeeping, vat returns and payroll as well as tax returns and general advice.
We offer a personal, tailored service built to suit your needs, with as much or as little support as you like, and our fees are designed to reflect this.
The business is headed by a qualified accountant with over 21 years of experience in finance and accountancy. This gives you access to a wealth of information and experience. We can either use your financial ledger system, or our own to record your information, which could save you the purchase price of this often expensive software.

As a bit of an accounting novice starting up my own Ltd company, the service Phil has provided has been invaluable. His relaxed, friendly, yet firm approach guided me through the necessary procedures as painlessly as possible. The fact I could always rely on him for facts, figures & deadlines, reduced stress levels and allowed me to concentrate on my work. I would recommend his services to anyone.
