Tax & VAT Returns
Most of what people think of book-keeping is the preparation of tax returns. We like to think we turn this on its head - tax returns are a given, and of course we still do them, but where we add value is in the advice, structuring and planning of your tax returns.
We make tax planning a breeze and will ensure that you are kept up-to-date with the tax requirements necessary for your business. Have questions about PAYE? Ask us. Need to know whether to register for VAT? We're the people to talk to. We also provide assistance and advice for companies undergoing VAT inspections.
We have over 15 years commercial expertise, Contact us today to see how our professional book-keeping services can reduce your stress levels.
Consultancy
Sometimes, especially as a freelancer, you don't need a full-service book-keeping firm. You keep reasonable records, you consider yourself a form-filling guru, and you can do without the extra bill at the end of the month.
Yet self-assessment is not without its pitfalls - and potentially costly, given HMRC's fines system. We can help with checking forms pre-submission, advice on particular fields, using the online system or helping to give you a nudge before major deadlines.
We don't stop at self assessment though. Think there was a bank charge in error? We can help. Wondering which bank is best for your needs, or provides the best rates for your circumstances? Ask us. Need expert management tips, or help in buying a business or franchise? We have first-hand experience. We can even give you advice on web-site design and help you weigh the pros and cons of a mobile web presence.

Construction CIS
Construction is just one of the niches in which we shine. Whether you need advice on scheme requirements and compliance, or are having trouble with retentions, we can help. We'll assist you on monthly filings, and help you reclaiming tax deducted at 20% or 30%.
When it comes to construction, there's a lot to do, and we really do offer the full package. Contact us today and we'll be the financial scaffolding you need.
Payroll
Taking on your first employee can be a big step - we can help with many aspects of the process.
We can also take on many of the regular tasks involved with having employees, in a way that suits your business. We can produce payslips at all frequencies (e.g. weekly, 4 weekly, monthly). We can produce payslips in different formats – hard copy, emailed PDF file, or we can even provide your employees with login access to view their payslips and other data. If required, we can make regular payroll payments on your behalf.
PAYE/NI payments will be advised when due, and we can compile and submit your year-end reports too.
We have over 15 years commercial expertise helping companies manage their employees - contact us today to find out how easy it can be.
Pensions
By law, we are not currently allowed to give you pension advice – but we can do everything else.
We can produce and submit a confirmation of compliance to the Pensions Regulator, set up your pension scheme and enroll your staff, advise you of the staff and employer amounts to pay to the pensions provider, and perform the online data uploads to most schemes.
We can provide template letters for enrolment and opt-out scenarios, and we can perform an automated 3 year re-enrolment so that you never have to be fined for missing the date.
Auto-enrolment is still relatively new, and we know that many people are still confused about what their duties and deadlines are. Thankfully, we already have a wealth of experience in this area – so let us help you through this minefield
Charities
We are authorised to examine charity accounts and provide an Independent Examination certificate.
If you are a Trustee of a CIC or Charity then we can help. Our staff includes Trustees & Voluntary Treasurers – so we can advise you on your responsibilities in these roles.
As a Charity, every penny counts – we can help keep your costs down, drop us a message to find out how.
