Inspired Accounting, ACCA

Inspired Accounting was established in 2006 and is regulated by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It is the trading name of Gower Accountancy (Midlands) Ltd and serves businesses in Leicester and across the UK. The firm offers accounting services including statutory accounts, self assessment, business start-ups, bookkeeping, property portfolio accounting, business consultancy, accounting for group structures, and company restructuring and advice.

Tax services include tax planning, tax amnesties, VAT, payroll, corporation tax, capital gains tax on property, capital gains tax on other assets, and tax investigations. It provides an all-inclusive, fixed-fee Financial Directorship package called Inspired Accounts. All work is done in-house and is never subcontracted or sent to third-party processing centres. The company structuring and restructuring service helps profitable trading businesses set up holding company or investment structures to hold surplus profits, ring-fence trading risk, and invest efficiently.

Tax returns, bookkeeping and digital record-keeping form the core of the work described, alongside broader accounting support for sole traders, charities and companies moving from start-up to established. The name appearing most frequently is Javeed, whose manner reviewers call professional, polite and approachable; several mention Shirin alongside him for the guidance given to a charity. Accounts brought into order and transferred onto Xero feature in the feedback, as do digital tools introduced to streamline operations and complex self assessment cases resolved after an earlier attempt elsewhere.

A point made in several accounts is availability: the team is described as responsive, willing to explain the process clearly and quick to answer questions that larger firms left unanswered. Long-standing relationships recur, with some customers citing a decade or more of continuous support. Thoroughness is another common thread, as is the calm handling of awkward material such as multi-currency books and receipts that are hard to read. Advice is characterised as straight talking and easy to follow, and one client notes a face-to-face financial discussion that matched what had been agreed beforehand. Dependable accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation for Leicester clients is the theme that runs throughout.
