An audit service to assure you.
Whether you are a family run, entrepreneurial owner managed business, or a large corporate organisation, we can provide you with an audit service that will not only ensure that you are compliant will all legal requirements, but also offer a comprehensive and objective appraisal of your organisation in which recommendations will be made to help you not only meet, but exceed your objectives and goals.
We pride ourselves on providing an audit service that far exceeds the traditional stereotype of an audit compliance service. Our audit approach is both constructive and rounded allowing us to offer ‘a fresh insight into your business’ providing you with useful information to assist in future developments. Our services are planned in such a way as to minimise interruptions to your operations whilst ensuring that the quality of service provided assists you in making key decisions to drive your organisation to achieve success. It is such that the skill set of our team allows us to identify other issues outside of the scope of the audit that we will draw to your attention.
In addition to the statutory audit compliance service offered, we also undertake specialist ‘one off’ assurance exercises. We have undertaken exercises on behalf of charities, clubs and companies applying for grant funding to name a few, always tailoring our work to meet your specific needs and requirements.

We don't just produce the accounts - we present and interpret them!
Preparing timely and accurate management information on a regular basis to assist you in managing your business efficiently is a vital part of running a successful business. Monthly management accounts are a measure of the current financial health of your business and a powerful, up to date tool for making management decisions.
A ‘Management Information Pack’ including features such as management accounts, appropriate detailed analysis, budget comparisons and key performance indicators (KPI’s) is a feature of a well run business.
We will work with you to ensure that your ‘Management Information Pack’ is specifically tailored to your business and your requirements. This is not a document dictated by software ‘default’ reports, but is a working tool that is designed specifically for you. Regular management meetings to review this information also help to act as a discipline on the direction and objectives of your business.
HMRC state that 'tax doesn't have to be taxing'. Do you believe them? Let us help...

If you think VAT is easy, read on...
As you are no doubt aware, Value Added Tax compliance and planning has become an ever increasingly complex area, with frequent changes in the law. Consequently it is not surprising that even the most conscientious of people sometimes fall foul of the VAT inspector for which the penalties can be severe.
VAT can become especially complicated during a number of situations that arise throughout a business’s life including, business acquisitions, mergers and transactions involving land and buildings. Thankfully we have specialist knowledge in all areas of VAT, providing you with the best advice to ensure that you only need to pay the amount of VAT that the law requires.
We are available to offer advice on all VAT related issues or where required complete VAT returns and all related documents on your behalf, allowing you to simply do what you do best, running your business.
Could you be unknowingly breaking the law?
Compliance with the various duties imposed by the Companies Act on company Directors and/or the company secretary can place an enormous administrative burden on your time. Failure to administer these duties correctly and within the specified time limits can result in severe penalties for you as a Director, potentially leading to disqualification and removal from the company register.
We offer a solution to this burden by assisting you with your company secretarial responsibilities. Our Company Secretarial team will ensure that you comply with all legal requirements including amongst other requirements, the filing of annual return forms and maintenance of the Directors Register, etc.
The removal of this burden will ensure that you can focus all of your attention on running the core operations of your business, safe in the knowledge that all of your statutory obligations are taken care of.
A solution to the minefield that is CIS.
If you are involved in the construction industry you are probably aware that the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) can be a minefield at times. Ensuring compliance with the ever changing legislation and regulations can be a full time job in itself.
As experienced specialists in the field of CIS, we can reduce the burden placed upon you by running an efficient and accurate CIS scheme on your behalf whilst ensuring compliance with all HMRC directives in the process. We will prepare statements for contractors on a monthly basis in addition to ensuring that all monthly returns are submitted to HMRC correctly and on time. We will also calculate and inform you of your payments due to HMRC on a monthly basis.
Our CIS specialists will ensure that you can focus your attention on your core business safe in the knowledge your CIS obligations are being managed in accordance with all regulations.
Save yourself a headache!
Running a business in the current climate is challenging. The pace of change in employment law and the administration burden of operating a payroll system can hinder the core business areas that require your attention and focus. The ever increasing and highly complex regulatory framework imposed by HMRC can also provide an unnecessary distraction to your time. New penalty powers and regimes have also recently been introduced by HMRC. The cost of non compliance, even as a result of an honest mistake, can now result in significant penalties and interest being suffered by your business.
If you would like to make better use of your business resources, free time and reduce the ‘headache’ element of operating a payroll system, then outsourcing to a dedicated team of experienced and professional staff is an option that must be explored.
Our team would provide the solution for all of your payroll and employment requirements by taking care of all forms and paperwork, organising our schedule to meet your timescales and ensuring that all deadlines are met, providing you with ‘peace of mind’ allowing you to simply do what you do best, running your business.
