We look to offer our clients the full package to assist with the running of their business on many levels. Within the personal service that we offer we are always on call whether it's on the end of the telephone or via email to assist or answer questions that you may want to discuss. Some of our clients also feel the need to have regular discussions, whether it is about accounts or tax matters, cashflow, employment issues or simply an area of their business that causes concern. Whether your business is doing well or meeting difficulties in these tough times we are your support in all areas of your business.
We offer a free initial consultation to all new clients to discuss their requirements.
Financial Accounts
Whether you are a sole trader, partnership, Limited Company or even a LLP, charity or club, accounts do need to be prepared. Usually this will be for tax compliance or for filing at Companies House but it also assists you in the running and planning for your business.
Business Taxes
All busineses must submit details of their profit & loss account to HM Revenue & Customs each year whether this is through your own personal self assessment tax return or through a partnership or Corporation tax return.
Payroll
We offer a payroll service that ensures you and your employees are paid in a correct and timely fashion and that you are complying with all PAYE & National Insurance legislation.
VAT
We offer a cost-effective service to clients in preparing their VAT returns for them. Preparing VAT returns is a task that many clients worry about and feel that by passing on the job to us that the returns will be completed correctly and on time and that we can ensure all VAT is claimed back where possible to reduce their liability.
Bookkeeping
We carry out a varying degree of bookkeeping services to all sizes of clients depending on their individual needs. This varies due to the skills and time they have in dealing with this as well as ensuring a cost-effective system is in place to suit them.
Management Accounts
We offer a bespoke management accounts service to suit you and your business. This may involve working at your premises on a regular basis, emailing information, exchanging software backups or using our cloud-based software, Kashflow.
Finance Director Role
We have given support to larger clients to help them run all aspects of their business. This may incorporate many of the other business services we supply but this role is a step on from the personal service we give to all sizes of businesses.
Startups
We work with new businesses or individuals, even at the early stage where it is just an idea, that 'light bulb' moment. In the past this has ranged from a detailed excel or PowerPoint presentation to a few scribbles on the back of cigarette packet!
