Babu Takes Over Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury as Local Practice Builds on Five Years of Success

Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury is proud to announce that Babu is taking over ownership of the practice, building on the strong foundations established over the past five years under Sarah Connop’s leadership. Having already become a trusted name for bookkeeping support in Shrewsbury, the business is now entering an exciting new chapter, with Babu bringing extensive financial expertise and a genuine passion for supporting local businesses across Shrewsbury, Telford and the wider Shropshire area.

Bringing Experience and Fresh Perspective

With more than 20 years of experience in finance, both overseas and in the UK, Babu brings a thoughtful and insight-led approach to bookkeeping. As an ACA-qualified Chartered Accountant with an audit background, he understands that good bookkeeping is about far more than keeping records up to date. It is about giving business owners clarity, reassurance and the confidence to make sound decisions about cashflow, growth and the future of their business.

What This Means for Local Businesses

For businesses looking for a trusted bookkeeper in Shrewsbury, Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury will continue to offer the friendly, reliable and professional service it has become known for under Sarah Connop’s ownership. Existing clients can look forward to continuity, care and the same high standards they already value, while also benefiting from Babu’s fresh perspective as he takes the business forward. New clients across Shrewsbury, Telford and surrounding areas can expect tailored bookkeeping support designed to save time, reduce pressure and provide a clearer picture of their finances.

Helping Businesses Prepare for Making Tax Digital

One of the biggest changes affecting the sector is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which from 6 April 2026 applies to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, before extending to those over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028. The move to digital record-keeping and quarterly updates is a significant shift for many business owners, especially those already balancing day-to-day operations with growing compliance demands. For local businesses in Shrewsbury and Telford, having the right support in place during that transition can make all the difference.

Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury is supporting local businesses through this transition by helping them move towards digital processes with confidence, choose suitable software, maintain accurate records and stay on top of new reporting requirements. Rather than seeing Making Tax Digital as just another compliance hurdle, Babu sees it as an opportunity for business owners to gain better visibility over their finances and build stronger habits that support long-term growth. With practical guidance and local, one-to-one support, the practice is well placed to help businesses adapt without feeling overwhelmed.

Looking Ahead in Shrewsbury

Babu said he was drawn to Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury because of its strong local foundations, proven business model and clear focus on supporting SMEs with practical, dependable bookkeeping services. Having always wanted to run his own business, he saw this as the right moment to build on an established and respected local practice while becoming part of the wider Shrewsbury business community. His ambition is not only to grow the business, but to be a trusted source of support for the small and medium-sized businesses that play such an important role in the local economy.

As local businesses continue to face change, from digital tax reporting to increasing time pressures and a fast-moving regulatory environment, trusted support has never mattered more. Rosemary Bookkeeping Shrewsbury is here to help businesses across Shrewsbury, Telford and the surrounding area stay organised, stay compliant and feel more confident about the future. Under Babu’s ownership, the practice is ready to combine continuity with fresh energy, helping local business owners focus on what they do best while knowing their bookkeeping is in safe hands.
