Service Offerings

Management Accounts: (Appropriate for All Businesses)

Monthly or Quarterly management accounts are one of the best ways to keep your finger on the pulse of your business' finances. While Annual accounts are a statutory requirement, they are generally produced months after the end of your financial year - and so only ever show outdated information, when what a business really needs is up to date accurate financial information to base informed decisions upon.

We can tailor our level of involvement to what is required in your individual circumstances - whether it includes reconciliations and controlling balance sheet accounts, or simply reviewing the figures, we can meet your needs, and help you get the most from your figures.

Annual Statutory Accounts: (Appropriate for Limited Companies & LLP's)

If you run, or are thinking of starting up a Limited Company or Limited Liability Partnership, you will be required to file yearly accounts with Companies House and the Inland Revenue. Prompt filing and attention to the deadlines are essential, as late filing will result in fines, and if left long enough, will result in the company being struck off.

To help, we offer a comprehensive service, and can supply you with annual accounts that are accurate and on time. We can further help minimise your tax liability by proactively planning the best strategies for you at the start of the year, so you don't miss out on any potential tax savings.

Corporation Tax:

Along with filing annual accounts with the Inland Revenue, every Limited Company is required to file a Corporation tax return (or CT600) on an annual basis. As with Annual Accounts, late filing can result in fines and interest payments, which can prove costly - so prompt filing is essential.

With the Revenue's enquiry powers and penalty regimes increasing on an annual basis, we can help take the worry out of preparing your company tax return, and also speak to the revenue on your behalf, as well as dealing with any potential enquiries that might arise.

Company Audits:

While most small companies are now exempt from requiring audits, there are some occasions where you may still want one doing - such as if you have large amounts of stock, or if your bank or outside investors require one.

Bookkeeping: (Appropriate for Businesses and Individuals)

We can recommend first rate account managers, who can help ensure your records are kept up to date, and can deal with preparing VAT returns, and many other aspects of business finances.
