ACCOUNTANCY

We can...

Accounts are prepared to agreed timescales and deadlines. But we can do more than just report the history of what's already happened...

We take the time to explain your accounts to you so that you understand what is going on financially within your business, helping you to plan for the future.

BOOKKEEPING

We can help you with all your general bookkeeping requirements, either at your offices or at our office. You may require help to write up books or need us to add the finishing touches to information on bookkeeping systems in order to create your own management information. If you do not employ a bookkeeper then we can take up the role or help you recruit the right person for your business.

TAX PLANNING

Whilst completion of tax returns and statutory tax obligations are important jobs, all accountants should be capable of completing them and advising you of your tax position and liabilities. We try to do more than just this and are interested in maximising your tax planning opportunities.

We all have to pay our taxes but within the legal framework there are numerous ways of saving tax and making sure you do not pay a penny more than is absolutely necessary. We have extensive experience in this area of work and always fight as hard as we can for our clients.

BUSINESS START UPS

Most people starting up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. However, they may not be experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business and such matters often appear daunting. Fortunately you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business but you do need the support of a team of trained experts. We can help. Just bring us your business ideas and we will help you to make them a reality! We will help you to:

  • Decide on the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company;
  • Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts;
  • Establish a good working relationship with your bank;
  • Complete any registration procedures with Companies House and HMRC
  • Deal with company secretarial issues;
  • Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements;
  • Decide on what computer hardware to buy and help with the installation of accountancy software;
  • Keep on top of bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and other accounting requirements; and
  • Help with all aspects of business compliance and administration.

SELF ASSESSMENT

We have the expertise and software to take the headache out of the form filling and compliance aspect of Self Assessment. We can provide you with practical advice on personal tax positions and the planning opportunities available to you. We can complete tax returns, calculate any tax liability and advise you on exactly when to make payments and how much to pay.

CORPORATION TAX

Under Corporation Tax Self Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for correctly calculating the corporation tax liability falls on business owners. We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We will also calculate your company's tax liability and assist with the calculation of any quarterly instalment payments.

The increased reporting obligations, investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that your time and resources can be taken up with tax administration. We will help to minimise corporate tax exposure and relieve the administrative burden of compliance with current tax legislation. Effective corporate tax planning can also result in significant improvements in your bottom line.

VAT

Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process.

TAX ENQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS

Being the subject of a tax investigation by the HMRC can be a stressful and worrying experience. With the onset of personal and corporate self-assessment, HMRC staff can now review cases on a 'sample basis'; consequently, tax investigations have become more frequent. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with HMRC investigations, whether they are enquiries into an individual’s Tax Return under the Self Assessment regime, more detailed enquiries or employer-related investigations into PAYE and P11d compliance. If you are about to be the subject of an investigation, we can provide expert help and support.
