Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with a CIMA-qualified accountant in Staffordshire
Working with us
Do I need a local accountant in Staffordshire?
Not necessarily — many clients work with Ryan entirely remotely via video calls and cloud software. That said, if you prefer face-to-face meetings, Ryan is based in Staffordshire and can meet with local clients across Stafford, Cannock, Stoke-on-Trent and Uttoxeter.
How much does a small business accountant in Staffordshire cost?
Fees are agreed upfront on a fixed-fee basis so there are no surprise bills. The cost depends on the services you need and the size of your business. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation conversation and a clear quote.
Can I get accounting support if I am based outside Staffordshire?
Absolutely. While Ryan is based in Staffordshire, Wills Finance Solutions works with clients remotely across England and the wider UK. Regular video check-ins, cloud-based bookkeeping software and direct access to Ryan mean distance is no barrier to great service.
Do you work with sole traders as well as limited companies?
Yes — Wills Finance Solutions works with both sole traders and limited companies. For sole traders this includes self-assessment tax returns; for limited companies it includes Companies House filings and corporation tax.
Will I always deal with the same person?
Yes. You deal directly with Ryan Wills ACMA CGMA at all times — not a junior member of staff or a call centre. That consistency means Ryan understands your business properly and you always know who is looking after your finances.
How do I get started?
Simply get in touch via the contact page. Ryan will arrange a free, no-obligation conversation to understand your business and explain how Wills Finance Solutions can help. There is no pressure and no commitment required.
Services and compliance
What accounting services do you offer?
Wills Finance Solutions offers a full range of accounting services: bookkeeping, VAT returns (MTD-compliant), payroll and PAYE, management accounts, cash flow forecasting, financial modelling, year-end accounts, and fractional Finance Director support.
Can you help with Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?
Yes. Ryan handles MTD-compliant VAT returns for businesses across Staffordshire and the UK, ensuring submissions are made accurately and on time through HMRC-approved software.
What is a fractional Finance Director?
A fractional Finance Director gives your business access to senior finance director expertise on a part-time or project basis — without the cost of a full-time hire. It is ideal for growing businesses that need strategic financial guidance but are not yet ready to employ a full-time FD.
Can you help with cash flow problems?
Yes. Cash flow forecasting is one of the core services at Wills Finance Solutions. Ryan builds forward-looking cash flow models that help you anticipate shortfalls, plan for growth and make confident decisions about your business.
Do you handle payroll for small businesses?
Yes. Ryan manages monthly payroll, payslips, RTI submissions to HMRC, pension auto-enrolment and P60s. Payroll is handled accurately and on time so you can focus on running your business.
What are management accounts and do I need them?
Management accounts are regular financial reports — typically monthly or quarterly — that give you a clear picture of how your business is performing. Unlike year-end accounts, they are produced throughout the year so you can make informed decisions in real time rather than looking back twelve months later.
Still have a question?
Get in touch and Ryan will be happy to help. There is no obligation and no pressure — just a straightforward conversation about your business.
