Here you can see how they have been challenged in their business, how we helped them and what the results have meant going forward.
Home From Home Property Management
Cherry Jones, Swindon
The Challenge
We had to move over 80 accounts to a new accountant in one go and expect them to cope with the complexities that come with block management companies
The Solution
AMS handled the handover of information from the previous accountant and took charge of all the outstanding issues, made sure all accounts were filed on time, resulting in no fines.
The Outcome
AMS’s help, knowledge and communication has resulted in all of us, at Home from Home, being able to work more effectively in the knowledge that we have their full support.
Salon 7
Bruce Simpson & Kim Tremblen – CIRENCESTER
The Challenge
Problems with various accountants meant we received a large fine for late accounts. Also, the payroll service sometimes got commissions for the stylists wrong. Not great to be wondering if the payslips are right every month.
The Solution
In 2017, AMS set up a system where Michelle contacts us immediately if there are errors in the payroll. Now we pay our staff the right amount on time. Accounts are also sent in on time.
The Outcome
We now have peace of mind knowing our payroll is correct every month. More importantly our accounts are submitted on time!
Martin Robson
Contractor – Cheltenham
The Challenge
I was a retiring Contractor and my then accountant failed to properly advise me on the tax implications of taking money out of my company on cessation – and on the most practical way to do it.
The Solution
AMS advised me to take my money out using a variety of solutions. I avoided the use of a Liquidator, saved on accountancy fees and admin time, all resulting in no Capital Gains Tax to pay.
The Outcome
I am not in business any more but I am very pleased that I found AMS. Following their advice made a very good end to my working life.
TMC Cleaning
Mike Gambles, Swindon
The Challenge
We are a small busy team spending our time cleaning ovens and windows and it was hard to know where to go for a good professional service.
The Solution
The team at AMS runs our payroll, pensions and all day to day accounting enquires. What more do we need?
The Outcome
It’s now simple as AMS make things so easy. We were lucky to find AMS and Tax is no longer taxing thanks to the team, they have really cleaned and polished up our accounts.
Oliver Curran Construction Ltd.
Ruislip
The Challenge
We were a very small construction business carrying out groundwork and civil engineering in Oxfordshire. We grew quickly, expanding our work area and turnover, and needed help setting up a proper bookkeeping system.
The Solution
AMS provided support and set up a Sage bookkeeping system for us. They also assigned Laura to us, an experienced accountant who is available to discuss our business whenever we need assistance.
The Outcome
AMS is in the background supporting us through our continued growth. We are now ten times larger than when we first hired AMS and they have been our backstop all the way through.
C. Thomas
Contractor – West Midlands
The Challenge
A non-EU client made a claim to recover VAT paid on services delivered to them in the UK. This was an intriguing claim which focused on the contract and location where the services were delivered.
The Solution
AMS provided my company with an exceptional level of support over several months, in both dealing with HMRC and bringing this to a successful resolution.
The Outcome
I was able to carry on running my business as normal – knowing that AMS is looking after my affairs.

“I would like to record my appreciation of the prompt service and attention to detail I received from your employees Chris Newbold and Matthew Chapman in response to a request for various pieces of information to support a mortgage application. In my opinion, this sets your company apart from the competition and I am very happy, when asked for my opinion, to recommend your services.”
Anna Fairbrother
Contractor, Gloucester
“I am very satisfied about the dealing of my tax return by Miss Cowper. I am very pleased with the responsiveness and content received. It was a much better experience than with my former adviser, who took a long time to understand the long term incentive scheme of our company and the need to correct the return twice. Miss Cowper has provided me with prompt and detailed answers to all of my questions and was able to explain everything very clearly as well as clear instruction for enabling AMS to submit my tax return.”

AMS work as a trusted extension of The Business Exchange team and are always quick to respond to any queries we may have. They have a ‘happy to help’ attitude and deliver information or advice in a simple and non-condescending way. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with them.”
The Business Exchange South West

“As usual I am impressed by AMS preparing my annual company accounts in concert with my personal tax return. Even as an accountant, I always have lots of questions and associated queries on tax strategy. My queries are answered by return in a clear and concise manner. It takes the pain out of tortuous process and I am confident that the accounts are accurate and reflect good tax planning. I was even more impressed this year when I found out that the staff dealing with me, Laura and Aqduss, are new additions to the AMS team. Well done AMS, as ever, quality first.”
James Gold

“I was passed on AMS’s details by a colleague of mine when I became a limited company. Their service has been and continues to be exceptional and allows me to concentrate on my work rather than worrying about the financial/tax side. They quickly respond to any questions that I have in a clear and succinct manner and simplify this otherwise complex world. As a consequence I will now be using them also for my personal tax returns.”

Every aspect of AMS Accountancy is professional but softened with clear paperwork and easy to talk to staff. There is no need to be afraid of accountants when you have AMS Accountancy on your side.”
