Buying a business
Deciding to buy a business is a major decision and not one to be taken lightly.

Business planning
A good business idea needs a good business plan with sound financial information and a strategy to make the idea become a reality.
The plan will include a cashflow projection.
A cashflow projection is probably one of the most important management reports as it shows how cash is expected to flow in and out of the business and how much capital investment your business needs.
These reports are typically required by lenders when you want to borrow money and can assist in the successful running of your business.

Exiting your business
If you own a business or have an interest in one, you should really take time to consider your exit strategy - what is it and what is the business worth?
The earlier you start thinking about your exit, the more scope you have for achieving your next objectives.
We have vast experience in helping people to plan and implement their exit from their business.
Every business exit is unique - we have the knowledge and skills to work with you to meet your own individual objectives.

Book-keeping and payroll
Nobody goes into business with a dream of running payroll or managing the books.
Outsourcing these and other core finance functions, such as management accounts production, makes a lot of sense.
Benefits to financial outsourcing also include freeing up time and energy for business owners to concentrate on running their business, knowing their finances are completely under control and they can concentrate on doing what they know best.
All businesses are unique with varying degrees of complexity within their accounting requirements - so we work with you to create a solution that caters to your precise requirements.

Paying your staff accurately and regularly in accordance with the latest payroll legislation can be a tedious and time consuming task.
But it's extremely important to get this right otherwise you could be looking at upset employees, over-payments or HMRC fines.
Our experienced and dedicated payroll team will ensure that you are fully compliant with all legislation and ensure that all payments are made on time and to the right people.

Auto-Enrolment
Every UK employer has a legal obligation to provide, manage and contribute to a pension scheme for all eligible staff.
Even if your business employs only one member of staff you still need to check if auto enrolment applies to you or not.
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that all eligible staff are auto enrolled in a scheme.
Failure to comply might lead to an immediate fine of 400 which can escalate to daily fines of anything from 50-10,000, depending on the number of staff you employ.

Estate Planning
Few of us like to think about dying, but equally few of us could live with the thought that we have not made adequate provision for family and friends who survive us.
The legislation that governs passing on your estate to your chosen beneficiaries requires you to plan well in advance.
Since none of us knows when we will die, this means making the necessary provisions now.
The earlier you make the arrangements, the greater your chance of taking full advantage of the tax opportunities available and thereby maximising the amount that goes to your beneficiaries.

Self Assessment Tax Returns
Tax returns can be both daunting and time consuming for individual taxpayers, landlords and small businesses; many struggle to understand the complex tax returns and complete them correctly.
The constant flow of changes to tax legislation means not only that the returns are becoming even more difficult to understand but also that taxpayers risk incurring more penalties through failing to complete their returns on time or correctly.
We can save you a lot of time, worry, and money by handling your Self Assessment Tax Return for you.

Tax Enquiries
Our tax enquiry service covers you against possible HMRC investigation of your personal tax affairs.
Like it or not, more and more of HM Revenue & Customs' resources are being devoted to tax investigations of one sort or another.
The additional tax generated from such investigations is considerable, and there is little or no prospect that activity on this front will diminish.
Even if you are happy that your accounting records are sound and your tax affairs are all in order, this does not mean that you will not be selected for enquiry: HMRC conduct many enquiries at random in addition to those prompted by information that they hold.

Personal Tax Planning
With the tax regime becoming more complex, and more focus being put on taxpayers' individual responsibilities, everyone who is subject to taxation needs professional advice and support if they are to optimise their tax position and ensure they meet all the compliance requirements.
We offer a specialist personal tax planning service tailored to your individual needs to individuals and partnerships based in the UK.
Valuable tax advice tailored to your personal circumstances is a necessity if you want to keep your liabilities to a minimum.

Many of our clients use cloud book-keeping technology which means we have a clear view of all their financial transactions throughout their accounting period, even if we're not handling book-keeping on their behalf.
