Bicknell Business Advisers Limited

A great accountant is more than just a number-cruncher — they are a strategic partner in your business. They ensure your finances are accurate, compliant, and tax-efficient, freeing you to focus on running and growing your business. By providing proactive advice, they help you plan ahead, avoid costly mistakes, and take advantage of opportunities you might otherwise miss.

A skilled accountant can:

Save you money through effective tax planning and claiming all allowable reliefs.

Improve decision-making with clear, timely financial information.

Reduce risk by keeping you compliant with ever-changing regulations.

Save time by taking care of complex, time-consuming financial tasks.

Support growth through forecasting, cash flow management, and strategic advice.

The difference between an average accountant and a great one is that a great accountant works with you all year round, not just at year-end, helping you make better financial decisions and achieve your goals faster.

At Bicknell Business Advisers, what we love most is making a real difference to our clients’ lives and businesses. Whether it’s helping a landlord structure their portfolio tax-efficiently, guiding a charity through complex reporting requirements, or supporting a construction company to improve cash flow, we take pride in delivering advice that has a tangible, positive impact.

We enjoy building long-term relationships, becoming a trusted partner who understands each client’s goals and challenges. Every client is different, and every day brings new problems to solve — that variety keeps our work interesting and rewarding. Most of all, we get satisfaction from seeing our clients succeed, knowing we’ve played a part in their growth, stability, and peace of mind.

Bicknell Business Advisers was founded with a clear vision — to provide specialist, proactive accounting and tax advice tailored to the property, holiday let, construction, and charity sectors. After years of working in accountancy, we saw too many businesses receiving reactive, one-size-fits-all services. We wanted to change that by building a practice that combined technical expertise with real commercial insight and year-round support.

The inspiration came from a passion for helping clients not just stay compliant, but thrive — by giving them clear advice, practical solutions, and the confidence to make better financial decisions. We believed there was room for a firm that could offer the expertise of a large practice but with the personal service, flexibility, and sector knowledge of a dedicated specialist. That belief continues to drive everything we do today.

Clients choose us because we combine specialist sector knowledge with proactive, personalised service. We focus on the industries we know best — property, holiday lets, construction, and charities — so our advice is always relevant, practical, and commercially sound. Our Chartered Management Accountant-led team works with you all year round, not just at year-end, helping you plan ahead, minimise tax, and make confident financial decisions.

We’re large enough to offer a full range of accounting, tax, and advisory services, but small enough to provide the personal attention and quick responses our clients value. By leveraging the latest cloud accounting technology, we make your finances easier to manage, saving you time and giving you real-time insight into your business. Above all, we’re committed to helping you grow, protect, and optimise your business or charity — so you can achieve your goals faster and with greater peace of mind.

Yes — at Bicknell Business Advisers, we can deliver all our services online or remotely, allowing us to work with clients anywhere in the UK and beyond. We use secure cloud accounting systems such as Xero and QuickBooks, along with encrypted document-sharing platforms, e-signature tools, and video conferencing to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient service.

Whether it’s preparing accounts, filing tax returns, holding strategy meetings, or providing training, we can handle everything without the need for face-to-face meetings . Our remote service is designed to save clients time, remove location barriers, and give instant access to our team when they need us, while maintaining the same personal attention and quality as our in-office work.

At Bicknell Business Advisers, we adapted quickly to ensure the safety of our clients, staff, and community during the Covid-19 pandemic, while maintaining the same high standard of service. Key measures included:

Remote Working – All staff were equipped to work securely from home, ensuring uninterrupted service.

Online Meetings – We moved client meetings to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or phone calls to avoid in-person contact.

Digital Document Sharing – Implemented secure portals for exchanging records, signing documents electronically, and submitting information without physical contact.

Office Safety Measures – For essential visits, we introduced social distancing, hand sanitising stations, protective screens, and enhanced cleaning protocols.

Flexible Support – Extended support hours and extra guidance to help clients navigate government support schemes and manage the financial impact of the pandemic.

These changes not only kept our clients safe during the pandemic but have also become part of our ongoing approach, making our services more flexible, accessible, and resilient.
