Accounts for Limited Companies, LLP’s, Partnerships & Sole Traders
Preparing Accounts should be much more than a reaction to a deadline set by HM Revenue and Customs – with foresight they can be a useful planning tool. There are many benefits to having your accounts prepared sooner rather than later:

Tax planning
Wouldn’t you rather know how much you need to put away 9 months in advance rather than find you have a several thousand pound tax bill to pay next week?

Finance
Having reliable up to date financial information is much more likely to result in you getting the finance you require.

Management
Accounts are historical and by having them prepared quickly you will know immediately where your money is going and how your margins compare to competitors, etc.

Compliance
If you have a limited company, the law specifies that you must keep satisfactory records. Even if you are not a limited company, HM Revenue & Customs will want to know how you arrived at your taxable profit.  You will need to be able to show them!

We currently prepare VAT returns for a number of clients in various different industries.

When HM Revenue Customs do come knocking, we are also familiar with the workings of the Compliance review and will fight your corner when the time arrives. Take the strain out of your book-keeping each quarter – hand us your records and sit back and wait for the completed return to come back in good time to avoid the possibility of punitive VAT surcharges of up to 15%!

We have extensive knowledge in the field of taxation – both Corporate and Personal. Broadly speaking we can help you with the following areas:

We can help you with tax planning, tax enquiries and the simple preparation of returns be it a straightforward case of calculating your personal tax liability for the year or calculating and including your Capital Gains.

If you do you could be liable to punitive surcharges.

Corporate Taxation
We also prepare CT600’s for many Companies from their accounts. We can advise you of your liability to tax, when it is due and also advise you as to the impact of the new tax on Non-Corporate Distributions. Through pre-emptive tax planning and the use of salary and Dividends, we are also able to help you plan your affairs to make best use of the current tax regime.
