Cannock sits where the M6, the M6 Toll and the A5 meet, and the local economy shows it. Bookkeeping for a haulage operator, a warehouse on Kingswood Lakeside or a groundworks contractor is a genuinely different job to bookkeeping for a high-street business — and that's the work we do here.

High transaction volumes are the norm: fuel cards, pallet-network charges, plant and vehicle hire, hundreds of subcontractor invoices a month. Left alone for a quarter it becomes a serious problem. We keep it reconciled continuously in Xero so it never gets to that point.

Two things we see go wrong most often in the Cannock area. The first is CIS: deductions recorded against the wrong subcontractor, or gross-status suppliers treated as net, which then has to be unpicked months later. The second is plant and vehicle costs posted as one lump, so nobody can tell whether a job made money. We code both properly from the start.

It matters because so many businesses around Cannock, Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Bridgtown and Norton Canes work job to job or contract to contract. Get the coding right and you can see contract by contract where your margin actually is. Get it wrong and you're guessing until the year-end accounts land — which, on a twelve-month contract, is far too late to do anything about it.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — it's one of the reasons Cannock businesses come to us. Fuel cards, pallet-network invoices, tolls and driver expenses generate a lot of lines. We use bank feeds and rules in Xero so the routine items code themselves, and we reconcile continuously rather than saving it all up for the quarter.

We do. We verify subcontractors, apply the right deduction rate, record it against the correct supplier and produce the monthly CIS return and subcontractor statements. It's the single most common thing we end up correcting when we take over a Cannock construction business's books.

Yes, and for most Cannock contractors it's the most valuable part of the exercise. We set up tracking in Xero so labour, plant, materials and subcontractor costs land against the right job, which means you can see which contracts genuinely make money while there's still time to act on it.

Digitally. Drivers and site staff photograph fuel receipts, delivery notes and purchase invoices on their phones and they flow straight into Xero — no envelopes of receipts arriving three months late from a cab or a site office.

As often as your business needs — weekly, fortnightly or monthly. We agree a rhythm that keeps your numbers current without you having to think about it.

Yes. As a Xero Platinum Partner we keep your bookkeeping in Xero, giving you real-time, MTD-compliant records and dashboards you can access any time.
