What we do
Services
Accounting
It shouldn't come as a shock to find out that we know how to do accounts – and we mean all of them. Whether it's a rental property or a taxi driver, a shop or a multi-million pound corporation – audits, charities and pensions, we've got them all.
Ad-hoc Assignments & Reporting
We recognise the varied non-statutory financial reporting obligations of businesses both large and small, and our services extend to cover them. Across the team we have extensive expertise in assignments such as projections, costings, budgeting, business plans, grant applications and certification, KPI analysis and business performance reviews. We also carry out financial and tax health-checks, reviewing your reporting, results, performance and tax efficiency, and presenting our findings to the decision makers in your business. These services empower business owners to make changes that improve their fortunes and reduce their exposure to HM Revenue & Customs.
Book-keeping & VAT
If you don't take a picture on your phone of every receipt, chuck it in the bin and forget about it, we seriously need to talk. We're all over Xero, QuickBooks, Dext and other OCR apps.
Business Acquisitions & Disposals
We have a wealth of experience in advising clients who are looking to acquire or sell a business. Our services include advice on the funding options currently available to purchasers, liaison with solicitors over the structure of the proposed deal, and negotiation with vendors and their representatives. Our services are tailored to each client's preferences and include extensive tax advice and planning, whether we are acting for the vendor or the purchaser. Our open and communicative approach helps get the deal completed, while steering our clients away from the problems and pitfalls that are commonplace.
Business Insurance
Because we know your business so well, we will ensure your insurance is accurately tailored to your requirements and, in the majority of cases, save you significant amounts of money.
Business Support
This is what we really enjoy – getting to know your business and really helping you out. Need a business plan, or cash-flow and profit forecasts for a loan? Want help setting budgets, monitoring performance or turning your numbers into Key Performance Indicators that actually mean something? We can review your systems, look at funding and re-financing opportunities, tailor solutions to the quirks of your particular sector, or simply run your whole finance function for you. Time to go VAT registered? Maybe it's time to sell up? We've (almost) definitely been there before.
Charities, CICs & Not-for-Profits
We prepare statutory and management accounts for both incorporated and unincorporated charities, including Community Interest Companies (CICs). We also carry out Independent Examinations in the charity sector, reporting exactly as the relevant framework requires. Trustees tell us they value having us at their AGM or trustees' meeting, so we come along, present the results and our findings, and stay on hand to answer any questions.
Online Accounting
We are proud Xero advisors and recommend it as the best of the best in online book-keeping. It saves time and money with the phone app, instant invoicing, debt chasing and automated bank processing.
Payroll
If there is one area which has exploded recently, it's payroll. So we made sure we were ready to sort this out for our clients because, to be honest, who really has the time for processing RTI and employee pensions?
Tax
You would be surprised how often we save people tax – it surprises us most days too. Amazingly, a lot of accountants don't really try very hard.
