We provide accountancy 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 as well as advising on issues such as Cash Accounting and the Flat Rate Scheme.
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. We are finding that more and more clients are asking us to prepare their payroll for them.
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.
