Business support

We can provide a comprehensive business support service to provide you with the assurance that your business is compliant with relevant legislation and H M Revenue & Customs rules, ad hoc support and advice as you require, or something in between. We will work with you to find a cost effective solution for your business needs by using our experience of supporting businesses and by understanding your business needs.

Payroll Administration

Our dedicated payroll department can provide weekly or monthly payroll services, dealing with PAYE, NIC, Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity Pay, Student Loans, CIS returns and agricultural wages board pay rates.

In April 2013 HMRC introduced Real Time Reporting (“RTI”) of payroll information for every employer to HMRC. This means that each time a payroll is processed an employer is required to file information on-line with HMRC before the employees are paid. Our payroll department will work with you to plan and manage your payroll process in order to ensure that your payroll is processed and your employees are paid in accordance with the RTI rules and timescales.

Our payroll department can process the employer and employee pension contributions under the auto enrolment pension schemes.

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.

We provide a cost effective VAT service and work with a wide variety of businesses, providing varying levels of support from general advice to routine quarterly VAT return completion. We have helped many of our clients to reduce VAT assessments and minimise their VAT liabilities, as well as providing peace of mind that your business in VAT compliant.

We can provide specialist advice on a one-off basis if you have a particular concern or problem with a specialist area of VAT.

We are able to advice you of the various VAT scheme, including the Flat Rate Scheme and Cash Accounting Scheme, to find the most appropriate VAT scheme for your business and assess the potential tax savings available to your business from these schemes.

Bookkeeping and Computerisation of Accounting Records

Our bookkeeping department takes the strain out of routine accounting, allowing you to concentrate on your business. By using our bookkeeping service, you can offload all the hassle of organising your financial records.

Alternatively we can fine-tune your own records, either at your own offices or ours, to enable you to produce your own management information.

We have worked with clients setting up new businesses to structure their book keeping processes so that our book keeping department can undertake the book keeping as the business starts up and then hand over to an in-house book keeper when the business has grown sufficiently to make this financially viable and of benefit to the business.

Company Secretarial

We 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.
