Accountancy Services
The accuracy for any accounts or statutory return will depend on the underlying information. In addition to our many years of experience our office is fully computerised and we use the latest state of the art professional applications to assist us.
Preparation of annual or interim accounts
We can prepare accounts from your manual books, computerised ledgers or even the proverbial “shoe box” of receipts (which in affect means doing the book-keeping first). The better you keep your books and records the easier our job will be. Remember the authorities can penalise you for not keeping adequate records.
Book-keeping
If you are too busy running your business, or simply hate book-keeping, we can do it for you at a frequency to suit you - monthly, quarterly, etc and provide management reports if required. As the computerised ledgers are built up over time, completing vat returns and annual accounts at the end of each period is normally straightforward. Any queries can be raised and dealt with earlier before your memory fades.
Value Added Tax
If we undertake your book-keeping then we are also best placed to complete your vat returns for you. We are also happy to advise on the the many vat schemes available as well as giving general vat advice. We can also submit your completed vat return electronically for you. Payments of vat where returns are submitted electronically are collected by direct debit 10 days after the normal due date. That's an extra 10 days grace which can help your cash-flow and no worries about postal delays and penalties for being received late.
Payroll
Whether you have only one employee or many we can undertake this task for you. We will provide the payslips and deal with all the administration. The payslips and reports can be posted to you or emailed for a very fast turnaround. We deal with all the statutory obligations such as P45s, P46s, statutory sick and maternity pay, complete the employer’s annual returns P35, P14s and and providing the employees’ summary P60s. We submit annual returns electronically so you may qualify to receive a government tax free incentive payment depending on the size of your business.
Computerising your book-keeping?
We are member of the TAS Accountants Club and have been using TAS accounting and payroll software daily within our practice since 1994. We can advise on which version would suit you best and provide sales, support, installation and training where required. However we would advise you to take a support contract with TAS so that you obtain your free periodic software updates and upgrades and have access to their excellent free telephone support. We would prefer to deal with any problems that are more client specific. TAS accounting software is easy to use and we can help you with all aspects of getting your accounts up and running including setting up your opening balances and customising your setup to suit your business. Please call us for details.
