Financial Compliance

Keeping you fully informed on essentials

The last thing you want in your business is to have valuable time and resources tied up with routine financial compliance.

That is something we can do for you, either at your office or at ours.

We begin by discussing your specific requirements with you and then we set up appropriate accounting procedures and controls and ensure your accounts are kept fully up-to-date and in compliance with statutory regulations.

But we don’t stop there. We can also provide you with regular management accounts to keep you informed on essential areas such as:

  • Cashflow
  • Profitability
  • Performance ratios
  • Customer activity
  • Credit control
  • Capital Gains tax

In addition we can also relieve you and your staff of the burden of preparing:

  • VAT returns
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Annual accounts

Business Start-ups

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through, not because they are experts in the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business.

Indeed, these matters can often seem daunting, and even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur. The good news is that you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business. All you need is the support of a team of trained experts.

That’s where we fit in. Bring us your business ideas and we’ll help you to evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner. We can also help you:

  • Decide on the most suitable structure for your business – sole trader, partnership, or limited company
  • Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts
  • Assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals
  • Establish a good working relationship with your bank
  • Complete any registration procedures with Companies House or HMRC Revenue and Customs
  • Deal with company secretarial issues
  • Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements

Start your new venture on a sure footing - call 01883 341991 today for an initial consultation.

Corporate Tax Planning

Staying ahead of the game

We can conduct a full tax review of your business and determine the most efficient tax structure for you. Very often such reviews result in considerable tax savings, which show up as real improvements in your bottom line.

As with any other area of taxation, it is essential to be proactive and plan ahead when dealing with corporation tax.

In this way you can:

  • Minimise your corporation tax liabilities
  • Make the most of any available reliefs, tax losses and deferment opportunities
  • Ensure you meet all your CTSA deadlines and file your returns correctly, thereby avoiding any potential penalties

In addition to helping you with your corporate tax planning we can also represent you in any communication with the tax authorities.

VAT

Value added tax is one of the most complex and onerous tax regimes imposed on business – so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT.

The ever widening scope of VAT, the constant stream of detailed changes to the regulations, and the ever growing demands of Customs and Excise call for a trained professional eye to ensure that you do not fall foul of the regulations and do not pay the Exchequer more than you need to!

We provide an efficient cost effective VAT service, which includes:

  • Assistance with VAT registration
  • Advice on VAT planning and administration
  • Use of the most appropriate scheme
  • VAT control and reconciliation
  • Help with completing VAT returns
  • Planning to minimise future problems with Customs and Excise
  • Negotiating with Customs and Excise in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals
