A M S Accountancy
At AMS Accountants in Swindon, we put our energy into providing consistently reliable accounting and tax services because that is what helps our clients run and grow their businesses. We work with Small Businesses and Contractors who expect us to give good advice and help them save tax.

Our library of 80+ short videos was produced in-house by us to help with all aspects of being in business and we are often praised for their simplicity on complicated matters.We feel it's important that we and our clients keep abreast of changes to tax law and advances in technology so we provide solid tax advice and help with bookkeeping.
Services
Our business was originally formed in 1985 and in 2007 we became a member firm of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. In 1995 we set up a Contractor payment service, expanding rapidly to cover the whole of the UK. In 2007 this evolved into our Monthly Contractor accountancy service.

We have worked with thousands of Contractors in all industries providing a service which allows our Contractors to see a monthly prediction of taxes they will have to pay, and how much money they can safely take from their Company.We also serve small businesses mainly in Swindon and the West Country.
Our teams work closely together to ensure the best service to our clients. We have two departments, one for Small Businesses and the other for Contractors and Freelancers. The leaders in each department are experts in their own right with many years' experience in helping clients and their teams.

I provide support and advice to our clients in areas such as setting up businesses in the most relevant and tax efficient structure; and giving tax advice and tax planning in respect of business taxes, VAT and personal taxes.I am also available to advise and give an opinion on many other issues that can arise for small businesses and individuals.
We're specialist SME accountants in Swindon, working with local sole-traders, partnerships, limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and limited companies. Accounting for small businesses means handling everything from the preparation of accounts and annual tax returns to in-depth tax advice.

Unlike larger companies which often have their own in-house finance administrative staff, and perhaps a financial director, small businesses often benefit from more support from experts like us.Our focus is on freeing up your time, removing obstacles to the growth of your business and ensuring you stay compliant with HMRC's many rules.
At AMS we provide our staff with in-house training and also support them to qualify professionally. The context of how we work with our colleagues is to provide in-company training to build an understanding of the many processes across the company before specialising in a particular field or department.
We would like to say a huge thank you to our clients who have kindly contributed to this section. Here you can see how they have been challenged in their business, how we helped them and what the results have meant going forward. In 2017, AMS set up a system where Michelle contacts us immediately if there are errors in the payroll.

We are a block management company situated in Swindon, managing numerous sites around the country. We have been trading for over 34yrs using the same accountant, until the summer of 2021.
It was then that with regret we had to change accountants. We had to move over 90 accounts to new accountants in one go and expect them to cope and also take on board all the complexities of the businesses that goes with block management.
Despite this being a huge ask, AMS Accountancy and all their staff stepped up to the challenge, took charge of all the outstanding issues, made sure all accounts were filed

I have used AMS Accountancy for many years and all their team members have consistently been very professional and customer focused. I especially value that they take time to explain, so even someone from outside the accountancy community can understand easily. They have never missed a deadline or service and I would certainly recommend them.

AMS have been my accountant for over 5 years, and helped me set up my business in the first place, arranging for all the filings. Over the years I’ve found their advice invaluable, helping me to understand complex financial situations and make clear decisions.
More importantly, they’ve saved me a lot of money on things I would’ve missed, like the various regular filings that go along with being a Ltd company. They’ve always been on top of upcoming filings, letting me know of requirements in plenty of time.
I’ve recommended them to several contractors who have subsequently used their

Great efficient service preparing my company accounts and tax return. Toni Chandler, in particular, did a wonderful job preparing the a/cs in super quick time and with the minimum of fuss.

Initially a very good accountant and was recommended for smaller businesses but things have got very slow over the last two years. They are not a proactive accountant so don't ever expect to hear from them other than when they need to do your end of year books. They take forever to prepare your end of year and you have to chase them a lot. We have moved to a sole trader accountant now who is proactive and actually helps us save money. They are a nice team just not value for money from our experience.

I have worked directly with AMS for 8 years after being recommended by a colleague in my consultancy network.
AMS are exceptionally reliable, professional and no question has been left unanswered with them. They are a font of knowledge on how best to run your businesses financial and tax affairs and they are more than willing to go at whatever pace you want to operate at.
A change in personal circumstances have meant that my time working with AMS is coming to a close, but they are definitely going to be my number one stop for any accountancy services I may require in the future.
