JW Hinks

Since 1896 JW Hinks has run as an independent firm of chartered accountants from Edgbaston, Birmingham, and it advises clients in person or at a distance. The practice calls its approach traditionally modern, and it presents its accountancy and business advisory services as one comprehensive offer that clients can take in whole or in part.

Accounting, bookkeeping and digital records

Accounting services cover bookkeeping and the accounts, and clients can move from paper records to digital systems as part of the service. Clients can combine services or take them separately, and all of them are handled within a single practice, so that work moves between departments without the client having to manage it.

Statutory and other audits

The firm carries out statutory audits and other audit work for its clients, which include small and medium-sized businesses and corporate groups.

Taxation, returns and dealings with HMRC

Taxation work covers returns and tax planning, and the firm helps clients deal with HMRC. Its tax team works through the detail of each return so that the client understands the position it is reporting.

Payroll and PAYE

Payroll work includes PAYE and the related returns that employers must file.

Business advisory for growing companies

Business advisory is offered to growing and established companies. The firm says it has advised a range of sectors for well over a century, which gives it insight into how a business can become more profitable and more resilient. It adds that services can be combined or taken separately, depending on the stage a company has reached.

Sectors the firm serves

The firm groups its clients into small and medium-sized businesses, corporate clients, healthcare, property services, solicitors and charities.
