Bunting & Co has been an independent firm of chartered accountants since 1972, with offices in Faringdon, near Swindon, and Wheatley, near Oxford. Accounts, tax, payroll and steady advice for owner-managed businesses, charities and sports clubs. The first meeting is free.
Whatever the stage, we can help: starting out, an established family business that wants more from its accountant, or a return that needs sorting before January. Everything below is handled in-house, at either office.
Annual accounts, corporation tax and Companies House filing, kept on time and explained in plain terms. We take on the administration so the numbers tell you something useful about the year, not just satisfy a deadline.
Personal and business tax, self-assessment returns, VAT and the planning around them. The aim is straightforward: pay what is due, claim what is allowed, and have no surprises in January.
Payroll run, RTI submitted, books kept and management figures prepared so you always know where the business stands. Set up once with us and the monthly cycle simply happens.
Bring us the idea and we help make it real, then stay alongside it. Structure, systems, cashflow and the questions an owner only thinks to ask once a year. The first conversation is free.

At Punches Barn, Holton, just off the A40 between Wheatley and Oxford. The same firm, the same people.
01865 872524Bunting & Co opened in 1972 and has stayed an independent firm of chartered accountants ever since: long enough to have seen owner-managed businesses through more than one recession, more than one tax regime, and a good many first sets of accounts.
We work from two offices, Faringdon near Swindon and Wheatley near Oxford, across the Vale of White Horse and the country around Oxford. Small enough that you deal with the same people each year, chartered so the standard behind the work is not in question.
“Half a century in, the job is the same as it was in 1972: get the figures right, explain what they mean, and be there for the call in January.”
Bunting & Co · chartered accountants, Faringdon and Wheatley
Plenty of accountants handle a straightforward set of accounts. Fewer are comfortable with a charity’s trustees’ report, a sports club’s Gift Aid, or the money-laundering procedures a regulated business has to keep. These are areas we work in regularly.
Trustees’ accounts, the audit and independent-examination requirements, and the reporting the Charity Commission expects.
Community Amateur Sports Clubs and the Gift Aid and tax reliefs registration unlocks.
Limited liability partnerships and partnerships, with the members’ accounts and profit allocation handled properly.
Personal and corporate insolvency questions, and the steps before it comes to that.
AML procedures for regulated businesses and high-value dealers, kept current with the rules.
Businesses run for a social purpose, where the surplus is reinvested rather than taken out.
The first conversation is free and there is nothing to sign. Tell us roughly what you need, accounts, a tax return, payroll, or just a steer, and we will tell you how we would work and what it would cost.
Or phone Faringdon on 01367 243789, Wheatley on 01865 872524, or email info@buntingaccountants.co.uk.
For anything not here, phone Faringdon on 01367 243789 or email info@buntingaccountants.co.uk.
Yes. We offer a free initial consultation so you can tell us about the business and we can tell you how we would work and what it would cost, before anything is agreed. Phone the Faringdon office on 01367 243789 or the Wheatley office on 01865 872524 to arrange it.
Yes. We look after self-assessment for directors and sole traders alongside the company accounts and corporation tax, so the personal and business picture line up and there are no surprises in January.
We can. Charities, trustees’ accounts and independent examinations, and Community Amateur Sports Clubs with their Gift Aid and tax reliefs, are areas we work in regularly. Tell us how the organisation is set up and we will explain what is required.
Whichever is easier. Faringdon, near Swindon, is at the Business Centre on Volunteer Way; Wheatley, near Oxford, is at Holton. Both offices are part of the same firm, so it makes no difference to the work, only to your journey.
Either suits us. Plenty of clients we see once a year and deal with the rest by phone and email. If you would rather sit down with the figures in front of you, both offices are set up for that too.
