We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your business needs. Once your requirements are established we can:

• Give guidance on the best structure for your business
• Prepare business plans and cashflow projections and assist in applications to financial institutions
• Attend meetings with intermediaries such as solicitors and lenders
• Register your business with HMRC
• Advise and assist in implementing the most appropriate accounting system for your business.

We will ensure that the audit and preparation of your annual accounts is carried out in an efficient and proactive manner, thus assisting you in meeting your statutory obligations.

Whilst an audit may be a statutory requirement, we prefer to view the work as a tool to review your systems and practises and identify improvements in efficiency and security.  We also assist in implementing any improvements that we recommend.

We can also undertake audit only assignments, working with your current advisors as necessary.  

The VAT regulations are complex and we can offer specialised assistance encompassing:

• Assessing whether VAT registration is necessary or advantageous
• Assistance with VAT registration, deregistration and business transfers
• VAT planning and advice regarding VAT schemes and options available
• VAT return preparation
• International trading activities

Tax Planning

We offer advice on the most efficient way forward for you and your business and review this with you regularly.

Corporate and Personal Tax Compliance

We will advise you as to your obligations in respect of income and corporation tax and complete the work necessary to meet them. 

Book-keeping

We can work closely with you to establish and assist in the maintenance of your book-keeping and accounting systems, or liaise directly with your book-keeper as necessary.  

We can also provide a full book-keeping service either in-house or at your premises.

Management Accounts

Many of our clients benefit from the preparation of interim management accounts, used as a tool to gauge the financial status of the business.  Good financial control is essential to make informed decisions regarding the development of your business and we find that many lenders require the timely preparation of interim accounts.

We will discuss with you the frequency of our service to maximise the benefits to you.

Our fees are computed on the basis of the time spent and the level of skill and responsibility involved.

All fees will be discussed with you at the outset.  If it is necessary to carry out work outside that initially agreed we will discuss this with you before undertaking the additional work.

We can also perform tasks on a fixed fee basis and we would be pleased to discuss this with you.
