Abbeygate is a proactive accounting and advisory firm based at Station Hill, Thurston, about ten minutes from Bury St Edmunds town centre. We look after owner-managed businesses across Bury and West Suffolk, from shops and cafés in the town to manufacturers, trades and professional firms on the business parks.
Most of our new clients come through word of mouth from other local business owners. They come to us because they want an accountant who talks to them during the year, not just at year end.
What Bury St Edmunds businesses get from us
- A named client manager who knows your business
- A 3 month and a 9 month review every year, so you know your numbers and your tax bill before year end
- Fixed monthly fees, agreed up front
- Free 1-2-1 Xero training until you’re confident
- Meetings at our Thurston office, at your premises in Bury, or on video, whichever suits you
How we can help
Accounts and tax
Year end accounts, corporation tax and personal tax, done early and explained properly.
Bookkeeping, VAT and payroll
Clean books in Xero, VAT returns and payroll that just happens.
Outsourced FD
Forecasts, management accounts and a finance director in your corner, without the full-time salary.
Xero set-up and training
Gold Partner set-up, migrations and free 1-2-1 Xero training for clients until you’re confident.
Local sectors we know well
Bury has a strong mix of retail, hospitality, food and drink, construction and professional services, with plenty of growing businesses on the edge of town. We have specialist teams for hospitality, construction and trades and the motor trade, and we’re members of the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce.
Questions we get asked
Where is your office?
We are at Unit 27, Station Hill, Thurston, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP31 3QU, next to Thurston station and about ten minutes from Bury town centre.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. Our onboarding team handles the switch, including the professional clearance letter and HMRC authorisations, so there is very little for you to do.
Do you only work with Bury St Edmunds businesses?
No. Bury and West Suffolk is home, but we work with businesses across England, mostly online through Xero.
