Accountants in Duffield
Willis Cooper is a firm of ICAEW Chartered Accountants based just up the A6 in Belper, a few minutes from Duffield. We look after limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, landlords and individuals, handling everything from year-end accounts and tax returns to payroll, VAT and day-to-day bookkeeping.
Accountancy for Duffield businesses and individuals
Duffield is a village of largely owner-managed and professional businesses, plus a good number of people who are employed elsewhere but have their own rental property, consultancy or side business to declare. That mix tends to mean self assessment, property income and small limited company work rather than heavy industry, and it is the sort of work we handle every day.
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 Duffield
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 3 miles from Duffield, if you would rather meet in person, and we run free Xero drop-in sessions there through the year.
How far is Willis Cooper from Duffield?
Duffield is about 3 miles south of Belper along the A6. Our office is Unit 6, Heritage Business Centre, Derby Road, Belper, DE56 1SW, open 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am to 2pm on Friday.
I have a full-time job and one rental property. Is that too small for you?
Not at all. A good share of our self assessment work is exactly that: employed people with rental income, dividends or a small side business who want the return done properly and on time.
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.
