Bookkeeping

Love it or hate it – if you have a business – you gotta do it!  Using ‘cloud’ technology, we can ensure your bookkeeping is effortless to manage, easy to upkeep and always correct. Using Apps and cloud software, it’s never been easier to know exactly how your business is doing, what you owe, and who owes you. This helps make decision making super simple as you always have up to date financial information to hand.
 
We are pro advisors for Quickbooks and certified advisors for Xero. Depending on your needs, we can offer the following bookkeeping services:
  • Fully outsourced – we do everything; recording your income and expenditure by matching it to your invoices and receipts, reconciling your bank.
  • Overview – you upload your own receipts, and we step in when required, to reconcile your bank and produce monthly or quarterly reports

VAT returns

Any business with taxable turnover above £85k needs to submit VAT returns. We can advise on when you need to register, help you with registering, and, once registered, prepare, review and submit your VAT returns to HMRC on your behalf, making sure you are compliant with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiatives.

If you are happy to prepare your own VAT returns, we can also undertake a VAT return review service to give you peace of mind that you are doing things right.

Payroll, P11d & CIS

If you have employees, any wages and salaries must be reported to HMRC via their ‘Real Time Information’ initiative. We can help you report your salaries on time, making sure PAYE and NIC is calculated correctly and up to date.
 
CIS reporting must be done monthly for anyone who is a contractor or pays sub contractors in the construction industry. We can also help sub contractors file their year end returns, ensuring your tax is correct, you claim all your expenses due, and claim and rebates which may be payable.

Tax planning & tax return preparation

We help review what profits you make and the income you take from your business to advise on tax efficient business decisions. This is great for company directors as tax planning allows you to ensure the correct income is drawn and declared from your company, and can limit your exposure to higher rate tax.
 
Tax returns are due once a year for everyone running a business, letting property or taking dividends from a company. We can help you get it right and filed on time, and will always make sure you have plenty of warning of any tax liabilities due.
 
The ‘proper’ name for tax returns in ‘Self Assessment’ The tax year runs from 6th April to 5th April the following year. Tax is calculated on profits in that period, and will be payable in the January after the 5th April year end.
 
If your tax bill is over £1,000 you also have to pay ‘Payments on Account’ towards your next year’s tax bill. These are due by 31st January and 31st July each year.
 
It is wise to consider your tax position before the deadline so that proper tax planning can take place. This ensures that you make the most of any tax reliefs that are available and declare income in the correct period, which can help reduce your overall tax bill.

Year end company accounts

Company accounts need to be filed annually with Companies House and must be in a specific format to ensure they are correct. Our software easily interacts with online cloud based records, making it cost effective for you to get these filed.
 
We offer fixed price monthly payment plans making it easy for you to spread the cost of your accounts across the year.
 
Not cloud based? No problem! We can also prepare accounts from your own records (excel or other desk top software).

Corporation tax

Corporation tax is calculated on the taxable profits your company makes each accounting year. Taxable profits may be different to your accounting profits as tax relief is only available on certain types of expenditure. We review your income and expenditure throughout the year and make sure there are no surprises.
 
We can advise whether tax relief is available on one off purchases, for example on vehicles, equipment, plant or machinery, so that you know the post tax cost of your investment before committing to a purchase, and will undertake a full review of your expenditure at year end to ensure all tax reliefs that you are entitled to have been claimed.
