The Services We Offer

To help you decide what your accountancy requirements are, we have listed below the sort of things we do. But please remember these are for guidance only: you’re the client and you’re in charge! Wherever possible, we will tailor our service to meet your requirements exactly.

Year End Basics

Annual accounts in approved format based upon the accounting records you have prepared; as standard, our accounts include:

• A “key comments” report or some graphical analysis to help interpret the numbers
• A breakdown of fixed assets so you know exactly what is in that key figure
• That in turn helps us to make the most effective tax claims for you
• We include your taxation liability so that it’s not a forgotten figure: you really do owe that money!

Tax computation based upon the above accounts; completion of self employment pages for your tax return, or partnership / company tax return as applicable Abbreviated accounts for filing at Companies House (limited companies only)
