Services

Business Types

We can assist Sole Traders, Partnerships, Limited Companies and Others...

Accounts

Accounts should not be prepared merely for compliance reasons, they are vitally important in allowing clients to assess the condition of their business and implement any necessary changes. It is for this reason that we like to deliver an efficient service and work with clients to prepare accounts promptly following the yearend.

We take the time to review your business performance and financial health to provide you with tailored information and constructive advice in the direction of your organisation and highlight any areas where we think you could improve.

For a business to progress we know and understand that you should never stand still and to assist with this, we are always happy to offer ideas. Whether you trade as a Sole Trader, Partnership, Limited Liability Partnership, Limited Company or Charity, Club or Society we can prepare accounts suitable for your needs.

Payroll

Running you own payroll can be time consuming and complex, so whether you are taking on your first employee or operating an existing payroll scheme, why not let us help? 

 

Our payroll department has many years of experience and is proactive in ensuring you remain compliant with changing legislation. We offer a comprehensive and efficient payroll service which includes;

  • Assistance to set up new payroll schemes
  • Computer generated payslips for your employees
  • Preparation and submission of Real Time Information (RTI)

Company

People tend to underestimate the administration involved in operating a company and it can often be more extensive than first thought. 

We provide a swift, cost effective service to ease the burden of keeping up with Companies House requirements and can deliver the following services:

  • Company formation service
  • Filing of annual statutory accounts and annual confirmation statements
  • Filing of statutory returns such as changes in Directors and Secretary
  • File change of accounting reference dates
  • Registered office facility
  • Maintenance of Statutory books

VAT

The complex nature of VAT can often be a worry; we can help alleviate this by organising the preparation and submission of VAT Returns to HM Revenue & Customs on a timely basis, whether via monthly, quarterly or annual returns. We have experience with various VAT schemes including flat rate and retail schemes, Tour Operator Margin (TOMS) and the Second Hand Margin scheme, amongst others.

We can advise and assist with any general VAT queries you may have and attend VAT inspections. Where appropriate we can monitor turnover for VAT purposes, assist with VAT registrations and review business activities to consider if voluntary VAT registration would be beneficial.

Our approach to VAT Returns varies from client to client. Whether you are looking for us to take the hassle away completely and prepare the VAT Return including your book keeping, or you carry out your own book keeping and we review the information. Alternatively you can prepare your own VAT Return's and we provide you with ad hoc training and advice. We are happy to work with you and your needs.

Book keeping

Time is precious and book keeping can be time consuming so why not free up some time so you can focus on what you do best in your business. 

Our staff have experience in working with a variety of accounting software packages, including cloud based accounting software which is becoming ever more popular. 

In bringing your book keeping in house we can use the information to provide you with management accounts, preparation of your VAT returns, yearend accounts and help estimate tax liabilities along the way.

Whatever your needs, from core book keeping to preparation of monthly, quarterly or six monthly accounts, we are happy to tailor our services to suit you.
