Local Expertise with a Personal Touch

Who we are

Welbourne & Co was founded in 2010 by Richard Welbourne with a simple idea: accountancy should be efficient, affordable, and genuinely helpful for business owners.

After years working in larger regional firms, Richard saw first-hand how traditional accountancy practices often came with hefty overheads and outdated systems. Determined to do things differently, he set up Welbourne & Co with a streamlined model—using smart technology instead of large offices, and passing those savings on to clients.

Answers When You Need Them

GOT QUESTIONS?

We understand that accounting and tax matters can be complex. That's why we're committed to clear communication and transparency. Here are answers to common queries from our clients, but if you don't see what you're looking for, we're just a phone call away.

If I use Xero, do I still need an accountant?

Response

Yes. Xero is a brilliant bookkeeping tool, but bookkeeping is just the beginning. As Chartered Certified Accountants, we use that data to prepare your statutory accounts, submit corporation tax returns, and ensure compliance with HMRC and Companies House. We help turn your bookkeeping into real insight and ensure nothing is missed.

What does it mean that you’re Chartered Certified Accountants?

Response

It means we’re fully qualified, regulated, and held to high professional standards. Many lenders, including mortgage providers, now require accounts to be signed off by a Chartered accountant — so it really matters. You’re in safe, credible hands with us.

You’re a Xero Gold Partner — what does that mean?

Response

It’s a recognition of our deep experience with Xero and the number of clients we support on the platform. Being a Gold Partner shows our commitment to cloud accounting and reflects the trust our clients place in us — especially impressive for a firm our size.

Can you help me get started with cloud accounting?

Response

Absolutely. We’ve helped many businesses move onto Xero and similar tools. We’ll guide you through setup, provide training, and be on hand for support whenever you need it.

Do you work with limited companies and sole traders?

Response

Yes — whether you’re a limited company, sole trader, or partnership, we have packages and expertise to suit your situation.
