Our services
Whatever your needs and budget, we will tailor our service to you. Here’s a bit more about each of our areas of expertise.
Accountancy
Keeping accurate books and records is not only about complying with statutory requirements and avoiding penalties. It can play an essential role in running a successful and profitable business.
We provide a proactive, approachable accounting and bookkeeping service tailored to your needs. As well as keeping your records up to date, we’ll help you make informed business decisions. We can also help you install and manage computerised accounting systems that put you in control of your business data.
Bookkeeping
If you’re looking for a full bookkeeping service, you can just send us your records and we’ll take care of the rest. We can also work with your existing bookkeeper, or train your staff in bookkeeping.
We support manual and computerised bookkeeping systems including Excel, and software packages such as Sage, QuickBooks and Xero.
Business mentoring
Our support for small and medium-sized businesses goes beyond the essential compliance services. We aim to work with you to give you the best possible chance of success.
We can help with:
- business start-ups
- business planning and development strategies
- cashflow forecasting and financial management
- computer systems advice
- long-term business plans, including exit planning
VAT
Because this tax is so wide in scope, it’s a good idea to get expert support to make sure you comply with current regulations. We can help you with:
- VAT registration
- VAT planning and administration
- using the most appropriate scheme
- completing VAT returns
Tax returns
Self Assessment tax returns can be complex. Many people struggle to complete them accurately and on time, and penalties for non-compliance can be onerous. We can save you time and stress by handling the process for you.
We can take care of all the computations and complete the return ready for your approval. We can also advise on whether you could reduce your tax liability. And should you be selected for a self-assessment enquiry, we can collate the requested information and act for you at any meetings.
Payroll
For busy business owners, administering a payroll can be a lot of work. We can help you navigate the various rules related to PAYE, National Insurance, Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity Pay and more.
We can work with you on any payroll issues you might have, from confirming PAYE codes to dealing with redundancies and sickness. If required, we can prepare end of year forms P11Ds for staff expenses and benefits.
We can also help you set up and manage a payroll pension scheme in line with the government’s Automatic Enrolment requirements. The scheme can be integrated with our payroll system so that all the details are included on payslips and reported on a timely basis.

- self-employed sole traders
