Our dedicated payroll department can provide weekly or monthly payroll services, dealing with PAYE, NIC, Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity Pay, Student Loans and Working Family Credits.
Business and Corporate Tax
I relieve you of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation and help you minimise your corporation tax payments. I will deal with all business tax matters, including preparing income and / or corporation tax computations and preparing and submitting the relevant self-assessment returns.
VAT
VAT (Value Added Tax) is one of the most complex taxes imposed on business and one that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay. With a constant stream of detailed changes to the regulations, businesses can find it difficult to ensure they comply.
I provide a cost effective VAT service and work with a wide variety of businesses, providing varying levels of support from general advice to VAT return completion. I have helped many of my clients to reduce VAT assessments and minimise their VAT liabilities.

I can help you to comply with your statutory obligations under the Companies Act and ensure you avoid any penalties for late filing of annual returns, accounts and other documents.
Personal Tax
A key service I offer to clients is in the area of taxation planning, aimed at minimising your future tax liabilities. In addition to providing the normal compliance services including Self Assessment Returns, I can offer advice on: Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Benefits in Kind, Employee Pay Schemes and the use of Trusts.
IT Advice
I can help you to decide on the best accountancy and payroll package to suit your business.
Once we have concluded upon the software that would suit your requirements, I can provide assistance in the installation and changeover from your existing software and also provide training to you and your staff.
I am fully conversant with all mainstream packages and also have experience in a number of bespoke packages.
Business Start-up
Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition. I can help by evaluating your ideas and helping you develop them into a viable business.
I will help you:
- decide on the most suitable structure for your business (i.e. sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company)
- prepare a business plan, cash flow projections, budgets and trading forecasts

- help you establish relationships with banks and solicitors and any other necessary professional advisers
- carry out registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise
- set up an internal accounting system
Other
To list out all of the area's I can offer advice and support with would be very tedious but needless to say I can assist you in many other ways not included here. For example, how confident are you that your present accountant is dealing with your business affairs effectively? Why not let me carry out a business healthcheck? Or maybe you would like some advice on how to market your business, the most profitable income streams and how to approach funding providers..why not let us help?
Perhaps you just want an informal chat or a more formal meeting? Either way, we would be happy to hear from you!
