About Us
Ann Richards Accountancy Services was founded over 40 years ago. Originally based in Oldbury before moving to our current offices in Halesowen in 2002. We are extremely proud to say that some of our clients have been with us for all of those 40 years and most of our new business is via client recommendations. We look after all your accounting and payroll requirements and positively embrace technology while providing a human service point. Our offices are open and our phones manned by a friendly professional human being. We are, in simple terms, book keepers, accountants, tax advisors, payroll processors and financial controllers all rolled into one cost effective package.
