Meet Avenue Business Services – Friendly Experts in Fareham

If you’re running a small business, charity or something a bit specialist like a marine software company, you’ll know that numbers and paperwork can easily pile up. That’s where Avenue Business Services come in – they’re based right in Fareham, and they’re all about taking the stress out of your business finances.

But don’t go thinking this is one of those stiff, old-fashioned accountancy firms. Avenue are modern, friendly and genuinely care about helping their clients grow. They’re the kind of people who’ll chat to you like a human, not a spreadsheet.

So, who are Avenue Business Services?

Avenue Business Services (or Avenue BS for short) are a small, tight-knit team of experienced accountants and business support experts based in Fareham. They’ve been around for years and built a strong reputation for being approachable, reliable and full of solid advice. Whether you’re just starting out or managing a growing organisation, they’re there to help make the tricky stuff simpler.

One of the best things about Avenue BS is how they work with real people, not just numbers. They get to know you, your business and your goals. It’s not just about tax returns and reports – it’s about making your business easier to run, more efficient, and ready to thrive.

What do they actually do?

In short – loads! But let’s break it down a bit. Avenue Business Services offer a full range of accounting and business support services, including:

• Bookkeeping
• Payroll
• VAT returns
• Annual accounts
• Tax planning and returns
• Business advice and planning
• Cloud accounting (they love Xero!)

They also help you stay on top of things with simple systems, regular support and straightforward advice. No complicated jargon or confusing emails – just real support that makes your life easier.

Specialist help for charities and not-for-profits

If you’re running a charity or a community organisation, you’ll know how important it is to get the finances right. Avenue BS have tons of experience working with charities and not-for-profits, and they understand the unique challenges these organisations face – things like reporting to trustees, managing restricted funds, and keeping up with charity commission rules.

They help with all the usual stuff like bookkeeping and accounts, but also go a step further. They’ll work with your trustees, help you prepare for audits, and make sure your finances are clear, well-managed and ready to support the amazing work you’re doing.

And because they’ve worked with all sorts of organisations – from local community groups to bigger regional charities – they’re flexible and know how to adapt to your needs, big or small.

Support for the marine industry too

This might surprise you, but Avenue BS are also experts in the marine industry – especially marine software and tech companies. With Fareham being close to the coast and home to all sorts of marine businesses, Avenue have built up a brilliant reputation in this area.

They’ve helped marine startups get off the ground, supported well-known software developers, and understand the specific financial needs of companies working in this niche sector. Whether it’s managing international sales, dealing with R&D tax credits or just keeping the books tidy, they’ve got the knowledge to help you sail smoothly (yes, pun intended!).

Down-to-earth, honest advice

One of the things that really makes Avenue stand out is how they talk to you. You won’t get lost in financial waffle. They explain things clearly, give you honest advice, and always make sure you understand what’s going on. It’s like having a teammate you can trust – someone who’s got your back and wants you to succeed.

They’ll also help you make sense of the latest software and tools. If you’re not sure whether to switch to cloud accounting or how to set up digital records for Making Tax Digital, they’ll guide you through it without making you feel silly for asking questions.
