Accountants in Heanor
Willis Cooper is a firm of ICAEW Chartered Accountants in Belper, working with businesses and individuals in Heanor and across eastern Amber Valley. We cover accounts, tax, payroll, VAT, bookkeeping, cloud accounting with Xero and practical business advice.
Accountancy for Heanor businesses and individuals
Heanor and the villages around it have a strong base of small owner-managed businesses: trades, services, shops and family firms where the owner is doing the work and the paperwork. The most useful thing an accountant does there is take the compliance off the desk entirely and give a straight answer when a decision needs making.
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.
Accounts and bookkeeping
Year-end accounts, bookkeeping and management figures you can actually use.
Tax
Self assessment, corporation tax and VAT, handled properly and filed on time.
Payroll
Payroll runs, RTI, CIS and auto-enrolment, off your desk entirely.
Cloud accounting
Xero setup, migration and support, including Making Tax Digital.
Business advice
A straight answer before the decision, not after it.
Audit
Independent statutory and voluntary audits where they are needed.
R&D tax relief
Identifying and evidencing claims that stand up to scrutiny.
Finance and funding
Cash flow, forecasting and support raising finance.

Common questions from Heanor
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 7 miles from Heanor, 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 Heanor?
Heanor is about 7 miles east of Belper. 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 am still on spreadsheets. Is moving to software a big job?
It is usually more straightforward than people expect, and Making Tax Digital is steadily removing the choice. We set Xero up, move the history across and run free drop-in sessions at the Belper office to get you confident with it.
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.
