Why Gloucester Businesses Choose Gro

Gloucester is one of the most diverse business hubs in the South West — from the historic Docks regeneration and the Quedgeley business park, to the cluster of trades, hospitality, manufacturing and professional services across the city. We work with Gloucester businesses in every one of those sectors. Every service we offer is built around the Profit First cash management system, so you're not just staying compliant — you're actively building a more profitable business. Our Gloucester clients make on average over £20,000 in extra profit and cash after switching to us, and we're rated 4.9 stars on Google with over 100 five-star reviews. Our founder Stephen Edwards is a Fellow of the ACCA (FCCA) with 25 years' experience, a Certified Profit First Professional certified through Mike Michalowicz's Profit First Professionals programme, an EOS Bootcamp graduate, and a Certified High Performance Coach trained directly by Brendon Burchard. Stephen is also the author of Profit First for UK Businesses and a regular contributor to UK accountancy and small-business media.

Industries We Serve in Gloucester

We work with sole traders, limited companies, landlords, contractors and growing businesses across every sector in Gloucester, with particular depth in a handful of areas:

Trades and construction — CIS-registered contractors, builders, electricians and trades businesses across Gloucestershire
Hospitality — pubs, restaurants, cafés and event venues, including Gloucester Quays and city-centre operators
Retail and ecommerce — independent Gloucester retailers as well as Amazon, Shopify and Etsy sellers
Professional services — solicitors, architects, consultants and creative agencies based in and around the city
Landlords and property investors — UK residential portfolios, including MTD for Income Tax compliance
Contractors and freelancers — IR35-conscious limited company contractors and sole traders

Our specialist sector pages cover the industries we see most often: tradespeople and construction, contractors and freelancers, creatives and content creators, and landlords and property investors. Typical Gloucester clients turn over £100k–£5m and want a proactive accountant, not a once-a-year compliance phone call.

In-House Team vs Outsourced Accountants

Many UK accountancy firms now outsource bookkeeping, payroll and even tax returns to teams in India or the Philippines. We don't. Our entire team — including 4 FCCA-qualified accountants, Xero-certified bookkeepers, our payroll bureau and our client services managers — works from our Bath Road office, just 15 minutes from Gloucester. 100% of client work is done by our in-house Gloucestershire team, our average response time is under 4 working hours, the overwhelming majority of clients renew year after year, and you always know who is working on your file. When you call, you speak to the person actually doing your work — not an offshore call centre or a chatbot.

Our Services for Gloucester Businesses

Every service we offer is delivered under one roof. That joined-up structure matters: your bookkeeping feeds straight into your accounts, your payroll feeds your management reports, and your tax planning is built on numbers that are always current. We provide the full range of accounting services to Gloucester businesses:

Bookkeeping — Xero-based, reconciled monthly, from £50/month
Payroll and pensions — PAYE, RTI, auto-enrolment and CIS, run by our in-house bureau
Limited company accounts — statutory accounts, CT600 and Companies House filings
Personal tax returns — directors, landlords, sole traders and high-earners
Tax MOT — our 33-point tax review (clients typically save £3k–£50k+)
Management accounts — monthly reports with commentary you can actually act on
Profit First implementation — the cash-management system we're known for
Business coaching — the Gro Mastermind and 1-to-1 advisory

Fixed-fee packages start from £169+VAT/month (Foundation) and go up through Gro (£299), Gro Plus+ (£399) and Gro FD (£975) for businesses needing FD-level support — every package includes bookkeeping, accounts, tax returns, payroll and unlimited support, with no surprise invoices and no setup fees. Switching from your current accountant is genuinely painless: we handle the entire handover, including writing for professional clearance, transferring records and setting up Xero. Most Gloucester switches complete inside two weeks with no disruption to you.
