About us

Based in Swindon - we set up in 1985, providing Tax and Accountancy services for local businesses. We continue to do this - working with all kinds of businesses to give them cost effective Tax and Accountancy advice - while helping them to grow.

Since 1995 we have also worked with Freelance Contractors who are based throughout the UK and are from all industry sectors. We have a wealth of experience in all aspects of this specialist area, including IR35. To date we have never lost any challenge by HM Revenue & Customs that we have defended.   

In 2007 we became Chartered Accountants and in February 2010 we partnered with Business and Personal Investments Ltd of High Wycombe to form AMS Investments and Pensions Ltd. We are very pleased to be working with Peter Fulcher who leads the investments team.
