AI-Powered Bookkeeping: How Automation is Transforming Small Business Accounting in 2025

At Chapmans Business Solutions, we’ve always believed that smart financial management is the foundation of business success. In 2025, that principle remains true, but how we achieve it is changing rapidly.

O Jamieson Kitchens

Jamie comes to my house for appointments, always on time and really helpful, when I left it close to the deadline he got all my receipts and my tax return finished and sent off in a very short space of time, would definitely recommend to anyone!

Blitz Commercial Cleaning

We have worked with CBS for over 18 months now and have been very pleased with the service we have received. Not only are they approachable and available for even our smallest issues, they manage our accounts with professionalism at all times. They have helped move us from a partnership to a limited company and have guided us through the complexities of the HMRC!
We are planning on growing the company considerably over the next few years and are happy that we have CBS to help with this growth.
Having used a large firm of accountants before, it is a refreshing change to meet accountants with a sense of humour.

Fen Air International

CBS has been a great support to our business over the last 6 years, they have given me some excellent guidance through transferring from a sole trader to a limited company and also becoming VAT registered, Paul & Jamie have been a great source of information and advice as my company has grown from a seasonal service provider to what we are today, an international exporter of our own made a/c systems and nationwide in field / onsite service provider.
Without the help and advice from CBS I am sure my companies and personal financial position would be greatly different without their knowledge and advice received on taxation, VAT & duty obligations, and tax efficiency.
A professional , courteous, and efficient accountancy service at a competitive price that I Highly recommend.
