Book keeping

No time to do the book keeping? No idea how to start keeping your books? We provide a range of book keeping services either on or off your own premises. We have working knowledge of computerised and manual book keeping systems, and can provide training and advice should you want to save money and undertake your own book keeping.

Payroll

Let us take the hassle out of paying your employees. We can operate manual or computerised payroll services on or off your premises for weekly or monthly paid staff. We produce pay slips, advise you of your PAYE liability to HM Revenue and Customs, and ensure your staff are paid according to the latest legislative changes, including those thorny issues surrounding Statutory Sick Pay and Maternity/Paternity pay, and adherence to the National Minimum wage legislation. We also file all of the necessary returns at payroll year end and returns informing HM Revenue and Customs of staff benefits received.

VAT

One of the most complex areas of taxation (and frequently raised concern of our clients) is VAT. We can take the hassle out of completing your quarterly VAT returns, ensuring that all output and input tax is correctly accounted for, advising on exempt and reduced rate supplies, and ensuring that your VAT records are in good order. We can provide this service on or off your premises to suit your needs.

Self Assessments

Every self employed person, partner in a business, or director of a company is required to complete a self assessment tax return for each financial year. Other people may also be required to complete a return, for example if you receive income from land or property that you own. We can advise on completion of your return, including expenses that you can claim against your income, and submit the return to HM Revenue and Customs on your behalf to the required deadlines.

Year End Accounts

Limited companies have a number of statutory obligations including submission of the company's annual return and producing year end accounts for HM Revenue and Customs and Companies House. We provide the full range of services to produce and submit statutory accounts to the required format.

Company Formations

Considering incorporating your business? We can advise of the advantages (and the pitfalls) of incorporation, advising shareholders and directors of their statutory obligations. We can take all of the hassle out of forming the company, ensuring that all the correct procedures have been followed and the necessary documentation produced. We can undertake company secretarial work for the company once formed.

Management Accounts

It is imperative for a business owner to be "on the ball" and have good management information in order to make informed decisions. We can provide cash flow and profitability forecasts along with a range of management accounting information to help your business thrive and prosper.

Taxation

We can provide advice on many aspects of taxation, including income tax, national insurance contributions, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, Value Added Tax, Corporation Tax, and tax on dividend and savings income.

Our Rates

We believe that our book keeping and accountancy rates are very reasonable and competitive. Working from offices outside of the city centre enables us to keep our overheads at a minimum and therefore our prices to our customers down.
