Castle Donington's economy is dominated by two things that do not stop: East Midlands Airport and the freight moving through it. Add Donington Park and the motorsport engineering around it, and you have a business community with genuinely unusual accounting needs. We are about twenty-five miles away near Tamworth — not local, and we will not suggest otherwise.

The most immediate difference is payroll. Air-side and freight operations run around the clock, which means shift patterns, night and weekend premiums, unsocial-hours uplifts and agency cover at peaks. Holiday pay has to be calculated on average earnings including those premiums rather than on basic hours, which is where a great many operators get it wrong and end up correcting it retrospectively. We set it up so it is right every run.

The second is seasonality, and it is sharper here than in most places. Air freight has pronounced peaks, and a business geared for the autumn and pre-Christmas surge carries the cost base through the quiet months either side. Forecasting for that specifically — rather than dividing the year by twelve — is what stops a profitable operation running short of cash in February.

For motorsport and precision engineering the question is different again: what did that build actually cost against what we quoted. We set up job-level costing so material, machine time, labour and bought-in parts land against each job. On skilled work quoted at a fixed price, that is the number that determines whether the year works.

Since starting our new business in 2026, Cloud Accounting Support Services has been fantastic. They have made everything so much easier to manage, and their support has always been there whenever we’ve needed help. We couldn’t have asked for a better accounting partner.

Paul, Ali and the team are simply amazing. Every time I ask for help, someone comes back to me straight away, and I always feel supported. They take the stress out of accounts, explain things in a way I understand, and genuinely care about helping me get it right. Having an accountant like Paul gives me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless when you’re running a business and wearing lots of hats.

Being new to creating a business, I went to CASS on recommendation and they lived up to that support and more. Paul spent time talking me through all the different stages, helping navigate the additional software and available or quick to respond to my many queries. The wider team with Ali and co, have continued to be great. Would highly recommend anyone using CASS, certainly as a new business from my perspective they have been brilliant

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and it's one of the main reasons Castle Donington businesses come to us. Night and weekend premiums, unsocial-hours uplifts and overtime at different rates are set up as separate pay elements, so payslips are clear and — importantly — holiday pay is calculated on average earnings including those premiums rather than on basic hours.

With a forecast built on your actual seasonal pattern rather than an annual figure split twelve ways. Air-freight peaks are pronounced, and the cost base doesn't shrink in February. Seeing the trough eight to twelve weeks out is what turns it into a plan instead of a problem.

That's job costing, and for fixed-price skilled work it's the number that matters. We code material, machine time, labour and bought-in parts to each job so you can compare quoted against actual while the work is still live.

No — we're in Amington, Tamworth, about twenty-five miles away. We work with Castle Donington clients entirely through Xero and video call, and come over when there's a genuine reason to. We'd rather be straight about the distance than pretend.

The cost of an accountant in Castle Donington depends on the support your business actually needs — from annual accounts and tax returns through to full bookkeeping, payroll and advisory support. At CASS we offer clear, fixed monthly fees with no hidden extras, and we'll always give you a tailored quote up front so you know exactly what you'll pay before committing.

Not at all. We support businesses in and around Castle Donington as well as across the UK. Everything can be handled remotely through Xero and video calls, and we're always happy to meet in person when it's helpful.

Yes — switching to CASS is straightforward and can be done at any time of year. We handle the professional handover with your current accountant for you, so there's very little for you to do.
