Built on Accuracy. Driven by Better Business
An Established UK Accounting Company
Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd is an active private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 13920524.
Our registered business activities include accounting and auditing activities under SIC code 69201 and bookkeeping activities under SIC code 69202. These activities reflect the broad range of accounting and financial-record support we provide.
Why We Trade as Rowland McCormack Accountancy
Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd provided the legal and operational foundation on which our business was built.
As the company developed, our services expanded beyond traditional bookkeeping into VAT, payroll, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, Self-Assessment and tax planning.
We wanted our customer-facing identity to reflect this broader range of professional services and the direction in which the business had grown. We therefore introduced Rowland McCormack Accountancy as our dedicated trading name.
The Rowland McCormack name provides us with a distinctive professional identity that better represents a modern, full-service accountancy firm. It also allows us to communicate our specialist knowledge—particularly in VAT—while continuing to operate through the established legal structure of Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd.
The adoption of the trading name did not involve the sale, transfer or replacement of the original company.
Rowland McCormack Accountancy is not a separate company or subsidiary. It is the customer-facing trading name through which Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd provides its accounting and tax services.
Clients working with Rowland McCormack Accountancy benefit from the same legal company, established foundation and professional responsibilities that support Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd.
This gives our clients complete transparency: Rowland McCormack Accountancy is our professional brand, while Bamford Book Keeping Services Ltd remains the legal company responsible for delivering our services.
Our Approach
Accuracy
Reliable accounting begins with accurate information. We carefully review the records supplied by our clients and raise questions whenever information appears incomplete, inconsistent or requires clarification.
Clear Communication
We explain accounting and tax matters in straightforward language. Our clients should understand what is being prepared, why particular information is required and what action needs to be taken.
Personalised Support
No two businesses are identical. Our services are shaped around each client’s circumstances rather than applying the same approach to everyone.
Responsible Advice
Our recommendations are based on the available records, supporting evidence and applicable accounting and tax rules. We do not present estimates or possible outcomes as guarantees.
Modern Technology
We use modern accounting systems and technology-assisted review processes to improve efficiency, organise information and identify areas requiring professional attention.
Technology supports our work, but it does not replace professional consideration or the need for complete and reliable supporting records.
More Than Bookkeeping
Although bookkeeping remains an important part of our foundation, our services extend across the wider accounting and tax requirements of modern businesses.
We help clients maintain organised financial records, manage payroll, prepare annual accounts, calculate company tax liabilities and complete relevant tax returns.
VAT is also a principal area of our work. Our VAT services include return preparation, VAT-record reviews, Making Tax Digital support and consideration of legitimate input VAT that may have been overlooked or treated incorrectly.
Our objective is not simply to process financial information. We aim to give clients greater clarity over their responsibilities and provide dependable support as their businesses develop.
Building Lasting Professional Relationships
We believe trust is earned through consistent work, honest communication and responsible conduct.
That means being clear about what we can do, requesting the records needed to support our work and never presenting an estimate as a guaranteed result. It also means treating client information with care and maintaining appropriate standards of privacy and confidentiality.
Whether a client requires help with a particular accounting obligation or ongoing support throughout the year, we aim to provide a service that is professional, responsive and straightforward.
