Accounting Services was founded over 30 years ago by Maggie Saunders F.M.A.A.T.A.T.T

In 1996 Maggie was joined by myself, her daughter, Lesa Cooksley to do the book-keeping. During our period of working together I gained my NVQ level 2. 3 and 4 in accountancy and became a member of the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians). After five years of being a member of AAT. I was awarded fellow membership status.

In 2012 Maggie retired and the business moved to Lydney, where I (Lesa) took over the running of the business.

I successfully ran the business as an accounting firm until 2020 when due to the COVID-19 outbreak I had to take the difficult but necessary decision to reduce the accounts and tax return side of my business. Now focusing more on Book-keeping, VAT and Payroll services.

Having experience working as an accountant producing accounts and tax returns I am able to provide excellent book-keeping services having first-hand experience of what is required to produce accounts.

I pride myself on knowing my clients individually. Clients are welcome to contact me with queries and I will do my best to help whenever I can and do not usually charge. Please note: this service is only available to my clients.

Any emails or messages are replied to where possible, the same day or as soon as possible thereafter.

Fixed fees are offered and monthly payment plans.

As a Sage Accountants' Club Member I can supply Sage accounting software, install, set-up and train staff to use the product for your particular business.

I like to keep things simple while, at the same time, making sure you understand the work I do for you.
