Services

We provide services to individuals and small to medium sized businesses. This is a varied group including start-ups and family run businesses. We are happy to simply prepare an individual self assessment return or act for a large corporate organisation.

Accountancy

We can advise on how your bookkeeping system should operate and provide reviews of financial systems and recommend software solutions. We can also prepare meaningful management accounts as well as the statutory end of year accounts.

Income & capital gains tax

For individuals, sole traders and partnerships we can prepare the self assessment tax returns and advise on how much tax is due and when. If your accounting systems are up to date and you let us have the records in good time we can give you plenty of notice about your tax liabilities. This will obviously help with cash flow planning. For individuals with businesses we can advise on tax efficient exit strategies and provide guidance on capital gains tax where required.

Corporation tax

We prepare the corporation tax computations and the corporation tax return. We advise on how much tax is payable and when it is due.

VAT

We are happy to deal with day to day VAT enquiries but we are not VAT specialists, so complex issues are passed to VAT consultants.

Business Advice

We are always at the end of the telephone line or e mail if you want to pass business ideas or problems past us. We often give business advice once the management or final accounts have been prepared. We say what needs to be said, not what we think you might want us to say! We have taken part in many business rescues, whilst this is time consuming and very demanding the rewards are worth the effort.

We can prepare one to five year cash-flow forecasts and consolidate multiple forecasts if necessary. Presentations can be made to lenders. We do heavily question clients about the information they give us for the forecast, their families future often depends on the forecast being as reasonable and as accurate as possible.

Bookkeeping

We can provide advice on your own bookkeeping or we can do the bookkeeping for you. If you are VAT registered we will calculate the VAT and after your approval even file the VAT return on-line with HMRC.

Payroll

We can recommend good payroll software or prepare your monthly payroll for you. We do not prepare weekly payroll.

General information

We like to think we are proactive in everything we do. We use only the best software and file all returns on-line with HMRC. We provide Budget summaries for all clients and a regular news letter covering topical issues.
