About Burns Accountancy
Burns Accountancy was established with a simple aim: to provide professional accountancy and tax support while retaining the personal service that makes working with a smaller firm different.
Based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, we work with individuals, sole traders and small businesses throughout the UK, providing clear advice and practical support tailored to each client.
Our Approach
Accountancy built around you
We believe accountancy should be more than numbers and deadlines. It's about understanding the person or business behind them and providing advice that genuinely helps.
At Burns Accountancy, we take the time to understand our clients, communicate clearly and keep things as straightforward as possible. Whether you need help with your annual accounts, tax return, bookkeeping or ongoing business support, our approach is personal, practical and tailored to you.
We're here to give you confidence in your finances, with clear advice and practical support.

A family-run business with a personal approach
Burns Accountancy is a family-run business, and that shapes the way we work.
We understand that behind every set of accounts is a person, a family or a business that someone has worked hard to build. That’s why we want our clients to feel comfortable asking questions, understand the advice they receive and know exactly who they are dealing with.
You won’t be passed around a large team or made to feel like just another client number. Instead, we take the time to understand you and your business, communicate clearly and provide support that is genuinely tailored to your circumstances.
Being a smaller firm also allows us to combine professional expertise with a more personal way of working - whether you’re a sole trader just getting started, an established limited company or an individual looking for help with your tax affairs.
PERSONAL
A friendly, approachable service built around you and your individual needs.
STRAIGHTFORWARD
Clear, practical advice thats easy to understand.
RESPONSIVE
Accessible support and clear communication when you need it.
Let's work together
If you're looking for an accountancy firm that combines professional expertise with a genuinely personal approach, we’d be happy to hear from you.
