Accountants in Alfreton
Willis Cooper is a firm of ICAEW Chartered Accountants based in Belper, covering Alfreton and the surrounding villages. We handle year-end accounts, corporation tax and self assessment, payroll and VAT, audit where it is needed, and the ordinary week-to-week questions that come with running a business.
Accountancy for Alfreton businesses and individuals
Alfreton sits close to junction 28 of the M1, and that access has drawn in business parks, distribution and manufacturing alongside the town centre. Businesses of that shape often need more than a set of accounts once a year: management figures they can act on, payroll that runs without drama, and someone to talk to before a decision rather than after it.
Willis Cooper has been advising businesses and individuals across Derbyshire and the East Midlands since 2000. We are ICAEW Chartered Accountants, which means the firm is regulated and our work is held to the institute's standards. Whatever you need handling, you deal with the same small team rather than a new name each time.

Common questions from Alfreton
Do I have to come to your office in Belper?
No. Most of what we do runs by email, phone and shared access to your Xero file, so plenty of clients rarely visit. The office is in Belper, about 8 miles from Alfreton, if you would rather meet in person, and we run free Xero drop-in sessions there through the year.

Do you carry out audits?
Yes. We provide independent statutory and voluntary audits, and can advise on whether your company actually needs one before you commit to the cost.
Do you work with sole traders as well as limited companies?
Yes. We act for limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, landlords and individuals, and we are just as happy with a first self assessment as with a group of companies.
Thinking about changing accountants?
Moving is more straightforward than most people expect: we handle the professional clearance and collect what we need from your previous accountant. Have a chat first and see whether we are a good fit.
