About Shire Bookkeeping

Shire Bookkeeping has been serving sole traders and small businesses in the Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire area since 2012.

Founded by Fern Chadwick, Shire Bookkeeping provides expert, certified and insured services to optimise your business finances and help you feel confident with your business choices. I’m here to support your vision and unlock your potential. I’m a Xero Certified Partner so am able to offer exclusive discounts on these packages.

Hey, I’m Fern.

I’m Fern, founder of Shire Bookkeeping. I work with small businesses across Shropshire and the surrounding areas who want more time, more clarity, and a bit less stress in their business lives.


I’m a Xero Certified Partner with years of hands-on experience supporting everything from farm shops to trades, and local CICs to food producers. I’m also a mum, a climber, and someone who knows what it’s like to juggle a million tabs (on the screen and in your brain).
My job? To bring order, calm, and expert insight into your finances—so you can breathe a bit easier and grow with confidence.
