What we do
We're not quite magicians but we are very good at what we do!
Winston Churchill once quipped “However beautiful the strategy you should occasionally look at the results”
Every business owner needs to know where they are headed. Not having reliable up to date financial information is like doing a crossword with some pieces missing! Impossible to finish. Same with business if you don’t know how much money you are making or how much cash you will have in say a month how can you possibly run or even grow a business.
Don’t know about you, but we don’t want to give the government anymore of our client’s money than they legally need to! We will make sure that you are taking advantage of all possible tax breaks and credits.
Managing your books
Get out from under piles of paperwork, clean up your books, and get back to growing your business
Let us do ALL the heavy lifting and do your books, why would you do this yourself. You are not trained. Our fully qualified Xero certified bookkeepers will do things in a fraction of the time you could do it. It is a false economy trying to do this yourself. You should be concentrating on growing your business
We use Xero to provide our bookkeeping service and our clients have access in real time to reports and useful information.
Always know and understand how your business is performing
Make better decisions by having access to reliable financial information and guidance
Business, Statutory accounts & corporation tax
Ideal for: Businesses structured as a Limited Company in the UK. If you have set up as a Limited Company you must submit annual accounts to Companies House and Corporation Tax returns to HMRC.
We will pull together your statutory accounts and corporation tax calculation. This process will include:
-
An initial “year end” meeting just before your financial year end to discuss your estimated tax liability and your results
-
A review of what you, as a business owner, are able to take as dividend
-
A detailed review of your books
-
Preparation and filing of statutory accounts

Preparation and filing of corporation tax return
Payroll
Payroll is a specialised area that is easy to get wrong and tie yourself up in knots.
We offer a full payroll bureau service for our clients so they don’t have to worry about this very technical area
Our payroll service includes an employee app where your employees automatically get their payslips, P45’s, P60’s, P11d’s etc.
Our service also includes auto-enrolment pensions reporting and providing all necessary statutory letters to your employees
For our clients in the construction industry we also run CIS returns
Personal tax & self-assessment
Unless your only source of income is a salary under PAYE and you do not have any other sources of income you will have to submit a self-assessment tax return. Even then if you have large pension contributions you may still need to file one as there maybe an additional tax charge.
We provide a comprehensive personal tax service for the self-employed and individuals.
We will also ensure that if you run a Limited Company we will provide you with advice on the most tax efficient way of extracting the money
virtual fd service
A full-time finance director can be very expensive, but also brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you navigate the ups and downs of a growing business. For many small to medium-sized businesses, it seems like this knowledge and experience is out of reach, just when they need it the most. This is where we can help!
Paul is an experienced finance professional who has worked across many different industries and in companies large and small. He can provide a service to suit your needs – whether it is a couple of hours a month to attend your monthly management meeting and provide valuable insights, or a short-term project to do an overhaul of your systems and processes
Services that we can offer:
Attendance at Board meetings or external meetings as required
Overseeing the production of accurate monthly management accounts and reports
Establishing KPIs (key performance indicators) that are right for your business, and monitoring these for you
Advising on cash flow management, and assisting in sourcing new finance where necessary
Review of business systems and functions – making recommendations for improvements, and overseeing implementation
Running your own business can be lonely and stressful at times. Having an experienced business advisor available to act as a sounding board can be a big support. As an external party, we can often see things that you may have missed and we are never afraid to point this out.
We are keen to build a partnership with our clients, and see their businesses succeed.
