Accountants who know Burton upon Trent.

Burton upon Trent is a short drive from our Ashby-de-la-Zouch office, and just minutes from Swadlincote, where we're well established locally. We work with a growing number of Burton-based businesses — from independent breweries and hospitality venues to the trades, consultancies and contractors that keep the town moving.

We're not a Burton-branded office with a nameplate on the door. We're a proper ICAEW Chartered firm serving Burton businesses from our Ashby-de-la-Zouch office nearby, with all the same proactive support and fixed fees as our other clients.

What we do for Burton upon Trent businesses

Whether you're a limited company, sole trader, contractor, landlord or start-up, we provide the same fixed-fee, proactive service. Here's what's included with every client:

  • Annual accounts and tax returns — filed on time, every time, with a pre year-end review to minimise your bill
  • Bookkeeping and Xero — set up, trained and supported so your numbers are always current
  • VAT returns — quarterly submissions under Making Tax Digital
  • Payroll and CIS — for staff, subcontractors and directors
  • Management accounts — monthly P&L and balance sheet so you always know where you stand
  • Tax planning — proactive, before year-end, not after

Why businesses in Burton upon Trent choose us

If you're running a business in Burton upon Trent, here's what you get with Barton:

  1. East Midlands focus. We know the Burton economy — the brewing heritage, the logistics operators, the independent hospitality scene, the trades. We don't treat you like a faceless number.
  2. Genuine proactivity. We call you before year-end. We flag problems before they become problems. That's the difference between a filing service and an accountant who's actually on your side.
  3. One fixed fee. Set at the start, never changes without your agreement. Nothing extra, nothing sneaky.

Sound familiar?

Most businesses don't have an accountant.
They have a filing service.

If any of these ring true, you're not getting what you should be.

01
You only hear from them at year-end
No check-ins, no planning, no conversation. Just a bill and a set of accounts you don't fully understand.
02
You're never sure where you stand
Your numbers are months out of date. You're making decisions based on gut feel, not real figures.
03
Surprise invoices keep landing
An email here, a phone call there — and suddenly your bill is twice what you expected. No one told you.
