Accountants & Outsourced Finance in Rugeley
4.7/5· 47 Google reviewsRugeley is a town in the middle of a genuine transition, and that has a direct bearing on the businesses in it. The old power station site — for decades the thing the town was known for — is being redeveloped on a substantial scale, and the construction, groundworks, trades and supply businesses working on and around it are a real part of the local economy now.
For a trade or contracting business working on a long redevelopment, the accounting priorities are specific. Retentions held back for months after the work is done. Applications for payment rather than simple invoices. CIS deductions on subcontractors. And a cash position that can look healthy on paper while the money sits in someone else's account. We forecast for retentions explicitly, because a growing contractor running out of cash is a more common story than a failing one.
The rest of the town is a different picture: independent shops and services, small manufacturers in Brereton, and a good number of sole traders and one-van trades. For these the work is unglamorous and valuable — records that are up to date, VAT filed without drama, and knowing what the next quarter looks like.
Rugeley sits in Cannock Chase District, so rates and licensing go through Cannock Chase Council rather than Lichfield or Stafford, which catches people out. We are about thirteen miles away in Amington, Tamworth — close enough to come to site when it is useful, and set up so that day to day it makes no difference.

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

Paul and all the team at CASS are extremely knowledgeable and supportive with no question being any trouble to them. They've really helped us to structure our business and lay down great foundations for growth and have also given us so much time back to be able to concentrate on what we do best as they are the best at what they do. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic service from the team at CASS, (especially Paul). Not only did they support us with our book-keeping/accounting and EPOS system, but they genuinely went above and beyond — even helping us out of hours and on a Sunday to get everything set up properly. Nothing was too much trouble, and their support has been a massive part of getting our pet shop up and running smoothly from day one. We couldn’t be happier with the service we’ve received and honestly couldn’t have done it without them. Thanks again Paul and the team at CASS — truly appreciated! X
