We have dedicated staff to help you on all levels and offer a complete package of accountancy services to ease the burden of running your business. Please see from our list of Business Services on how we can help you.
Organisational Audit
There is much more to an audit than the annual year end and compliance visit. Accounting and audit regulations are arduous and our aim is to deal with them with as little hassle so that you can get on with running your business. We are qualified to deal with all statutory and bespoke audit assignments.
Aside from fulfilling all legal audit necessities, our audit approach gives us the chance to really see how your business is run because we spend time finding out about it and then plan our work to test the systems you have in place. We have a set criteria and pre-agreed timetable to work with with your accounting staff so that your annual audit process is as speedy and efficient as possible. This process also helps us offer effective and constructive feedback on your accounting and other in-house systems and in offering advice on how to improve.
Bookkeeping & Accountancy
We are here to relieve you and your staff from the troubles and burdens of in-house bookkeeping and accounting, including your annual accounts.
We work very closely with our clients in order to gain a full understanding of your business and how you run it. We have the capacity and flexibility to then tailor our approach to your needs in order to deliver the most appropriate service we can for you.

Again, we discuss your requirements with you and provide you with tailored information and constructive advice on a regular basis.

Company Secretarial
The company secretarial function for any business is often seen as an arduous task normally overseen by a family member or senior employee as Company Secretary. This can be met with issues as the designated Company Secretary may not have a full understanding of the duties they are required to undertake.
With our in-house expertise, we can ensure that statuary deadlines are met, we will handle all your statutory obligations including the filing of accounts, annual returns as well as changes of directors and secretaries. As part of the service, manage all the paperwork required for the payment of dividends and dealing with share transfers.

Corporate Tax and Planning
Corporation tax is a major part of your trading costs. It is the increased reporting obligations, thorough investigation policies imposed by the tax authorities and tough penalties for non-compliance that means that a lot of time and resource is taken up collecting revenue for the Government.
We can assist you and your business by completing and filing business tax returns as well as preparing and submitting end-of-year payroll Tax Returns. By using us for your corporate tax and planning, means we can act as intermediaries for any disputes with the tax authorities.
As part of this service, we can help you with determining the most tax effective structure for your business by taking full advantage of tax opportunities and reliefs. It is our job to make sure that you achieve the best capital or revenue tax treatment as well as reducing your tax on disposals and maximising relief on acquisitions. There are also many tax opportunities specific to certain industries and our in-house.

VAT
Value added tax is not an easy subject to talk around. Our aim is to make as simple as possible for you to handle and understand. It is seen as one of the most complex tax areas to be imposed on businesses. The VAT “goalposts” are constantly being moved as well as the ever changing stream of regulatory details. HMRC is constantly demanding more and more from businesses which adds more stress on top of what you already have to manage. It is our expertise and expertly trained eyes that help you make sure you do not miss anything and do not fall foul of the regulations. We make sure your do not pay the chancellor any more than you need to.
Our efficient and cost-effective VAT service includes:
• Assistance with VAT registration
• Advice on VAT planning and administration
• VAT control and reconciliation
• Help with completing VAT returns
• Processes put in place to avoid future issues with HMRC
• Representing you at VAT tribunals.
• Expertise to help you tackle these.
Payroll
The task of payroll processing can often divert you from your core business activity. It is our job to help and take the worry and time out of this process for you.
By allowing us to look after your payroll activity, we will free up more time for your staff to attend other business areas, therefore creating more opportunities and raising efficiency in the business.
Our payroll services are thorough and, of course, compliant with HM Revenue & Customs statutory requirements. We can deal with every aspect of UK wages and salary requirements including:

Personal Tax Planning
With the tax regime becoming more complex, and more focus being put on taxpayers’ individual responsibilities, everyone who is subject to taxation needs professional advice and support if they are to optimise their tax position and ensure they meet all the compliance requirements.
We can provide you with year-round tax advice on:
• income tax
• capital gains tax
• inheritance tax
• trusts and estates
• non-domiciliary tax issues
Every pound of income tax you save means more income at your disposal, every well planned disposal of assets means minimal loss of capital gains, and every inheritance tax saving means more benefit for your beneficiaries.
Make sure you take full advantage of the tax saving opportunities open to you – call us today for a personal tax planning review.
Retirement Strategies
Everyone hopes to maintain the same standard of living in retirement as they presently enjoy while working, but to achieve this requires considerable forward planning.
Here are some important questions you need to ask yourself:
- Exit strategies
If you are in business, the first thing you need to consider is your exit strategy. Will you withdraw from the business, leaving it for the next generation, or will you hope to sell the business? If you intend to hand the business over, do you have a workable succession plan? If you intend to sell, how will you value the business, find a suitable buyer, etc.? Are you aware of all the tax implications of the timing of disposals? - Pension provision
Do you have an adequate pension in place? Do you have the right type of pension? Are you aware of all the pension possibilities open to business owners and directors? Are you making full use of all your allowances? - Savings and investments
Do you have the right balance between savings and investments, and is your portfolio split adequately between exposures - Life assurance and long-term care
Do you have adequate life assurance, and have you made provision for long-term care and medical insurance for you and your family in your later years?
We can help you answer all these questions and recommend solutions tailored to your particular needs.
Self Assessment
Many taxpayers struggle to understand the complex tax returns and complete them correctly. In the first year of the Self Assessment regime alone, 775,000 taxpayers received £100 penalties for failing to submit their returns on time, and some 400,000 incurred further penalties because their returns were still outstanding six months later!
The constant flow of changes to tax legislation means not only that the returns are becoming even more difficult to understand but also that taxpayers risk incurring more penalties through failing to complete their returns on time or correctly.
We can save you a lot of time, worry, and money by handling your self assessment tax return for you. We will do all the necessary computations, complete your return, and even offer advice on how you can minimise your tax liability.
We can act as your agent, dealing directly with the HM Revenue and Customs on your behalf and, should you be selected for a self assessment enquiry, act for you at any meetings.
