Welcome to Fuel Accountancy
“I didn’t actually think that I would be able to find a single firm of accountants that were able to deal with all of these sorts of issues. Even if I could, I knew I would have to pay the price!”

Welcome to Fuel Accountancy Services
Everybody and everything needs fuel. Cars need fuel to run, plants need fuel to grow and people need fuel to go about their daily lives. Businesses need fuel too and our aim is to provide this – to enable them to survive and thrive.
Fuel Accountancy Services Ltd is a concept 10 years in the making. It is time the world of accountancy caught up to the modern way of thinking and the way that business is done now. It is due to this fact that this business is founded on the basis NOT of what accountancy has always been about BUT what it should be about and what it needs to be about in the modern economic era. To this end, Rich and Simon have started with a blank piece of paper. The exercise was then to identify not what we think accountancy firms should do but what they shouldn’t do.
They shouldn’t:
Use words and terminology clients don’t understand.
Charge solely based on time.
Run away when HM Revenue & Customs ask questions about anything.
Ignore responsibility for assisting in dealing with banks and similar stakeholders.
Make financial matters for clients seem even more complicated than they already are.
They should:
Treat customers as equals and educate them as to modern HM Revenue & Customs expectations.
Charge on the basis of optimising their tax liabilities.
Stand by them when the chips may seem as being down.
Take full responsibility in dealing with ALL financial stakeholders that need to be appeased in the modern business environment.
Work with clients to establish what they want out of all this heartache and how they can get it.
With this sort of fuel – the sky is surely the limit for all concerned!
