Tax planning & tax return preparation
While you’re busy building your business empire, our tax planning services can make sure you receive the income you’ve earned, know what you owe, and only pay the tax you need to.
Reviewing your profits, advising you on tax efficient decisions and making sure you file the correct figures on time each year can limit your exposure to higher rate tax, and we can take care of all of that for you.
Tax returns are due once a year for everyone running a business, letting property or taking dividends from a company. Tax returns are officially called ‘Self Assessment’, and 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 that already sounds confusing, don’t waste time with your head in the sand – consider your tax position before the deadline and call us for advice, it might just mean more money in your pocket.
Management accounts
You want a clear picture of how your business is doing, and we can turn your wall of numbers into clear, digestible information, to help you decide what moves to make next.
Accurate and timely management accounts are the secret to running an efficient and effective business, and our management accounts package can provide you with:
Profit & loss and balance sheets, sustainable supply chain reviews, cashflows, annual budgets and forecasts, variance reports, prepayment and accruals schedules, and fixed asset schedules. We’ll even throw in some tasty pie charts.
Whether your bookkeeping is in-house or completed by us, we can work seamlessly to produce reports that give you the financial insights you need in order to add value and better your business.
VAT returns
Any business with taxable turnover above £85k needs to submit VAT returns. If you’ve got this paperwork covered and want to run it by an expert, we’re here to help.
If you don’t know where to start with your VAT, or even if you should register, we can give you all the advice you need, help you with registering, and prepare, review and submit your VAT returns to HMRC on your behalf, making sure you are compliant with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiatives.
Wherever you are with your VAT, call on us for the perfect package of support to meet your needs, and for peace of mind that you’ve got VAT covered.
Cash flow planning
Ensure the health and longevity of your business with our cash flow services, because knowing where you stand with your business cash is critical.
Without a crystal ball to tell you the future, knowing the perfect time to make purchases and investments, run promotions, or source debt finance can feel like a magic trick. Come to us to build a clear view of when and how to handle your cash, in line with the specific needs of your unique business.
Our expert advice can help you make the best decisions, avoid cash flow catastrophes, and take advantage of any opportunities in the market, all while keeping your operations running smoothly.
We’ll help you gain confidence and a market advantage by planning in line with the individual rhythm of your cash as it naturally ebbs and flows.
Payroll, P11d & CIS
If you depend on employees to help keep your business going, any wages and salaries you pay must be reported to HMRC via their ‘Real Time Information’ initiative. We have the time and skills you need to help you report salaries on time, and to make sure PAYE and National Insurance is calculated correctly.
Does your company operate in the construction industry? CIS reporting must be done monthly for anyone who is a contractor or pays sub-contractors in the construction industry, and we’re happy to help you with this requirement.
Perhaps you’re a sub-contractor? Come to us for support with filing your year-end returns, ensuring your tax is correct, making sure you don’t lose money on unclaimed expenses, and that you claim any rebates which you may be missing out on. We’ve got you covered for all of it.
Year end company accounts
It’s The Big One, and it comes around every year, but that doesn’t make it any less of a task. While you’re busy running your business let us whip your accounts into shape for stress-free year-end filing.
Your company accounts need to be filed annually with Companies House and must be in a specific format to ensure they are correct. Our software seamlessly interacts with online cloud-based records, saving time and costs for you, and we offer fixed price monthly payment plans to help you plan and spread the cost of your accounts across the year.
Not cloud based? No problem! We can also prepare accounts from your own records, in Excel or other desktop software, just call to find the year-end accounts support you need.
Corporation tax
When it comes to Corporation tax, we have the power to tell your future.
Corporation tax is calculated on the taxable profits your company makes each accounting year, and it’s important to note that your taxable profits may be different to your accounting profits. Count on our expertise to make sure you only pay what you really owe.
We look into your future by helping you know the post-tax cost of your investment before you even commit to a purchase. We review your accounts throughout the year and make sure you avoid surprises, and we can advise if you’ll get tax relief on one-off purchases, for example on vehicles or equipment.
When it comes to your year-end, we will undertake a full review of your expenditure so you can be certain you cash in on all the tax relief you’re due, and you can be confident that with our help, you haven’t missed out on a penny.
