What Connor Spencer does is take away stress.

Half our clients probably couldn’t do what we do for them – that’s why they engage us. The other half probably could do it; but they know they are better off sticking to their own skills and maximising what they do best. We’re here for you whatever your skills or needs. 

We have one specialisation. We are a one-stop-shop for SMEs: sole traders, partnerships and owner-managed Ltd Companies. From basic bookkeeping, through accounts preparation, to corporate and personal tax calculation and tax returns we take away all your problems.

We don’t do large companies. We don’t do PLCs. We don’t do audits – rarely needed nowadays anyway.

What makes us different?

Not our services for sure. No matter how it’s dressed up accountants all do the same thing – bookkeeping, accounts, tax, tax returns, VAT, PAYE, CIS, management accounts, business start-ups, etc.

What makes us different is.......

..........our clients are recommended to us because – we’re told – ‘you can talk to them’. And we listen. We listen to your needs, how you want us to work with you, and we are flexible and friendly in our approach to make our working partnership with you easy. We're on the end of a phone, or an e-mail and we get back to you promptly when you need us to. We take away the strain and make your life easier.

And we love technology.

Just as well since the Government has made it all but impossible for businesses to operate without fairly sophisticated software and computers. We can back up those of you who love computers, and be the software for those of you who don’t.

So much is now more efficiently done ‘on line’ today: submission of accounts, annual returns, company director and other reports to Companies House; submission of corporate tax returns, submission of personal tax returns, submission of VAT returns. All these regular activities plus a plethora of start up forms, and termination forms – all done on line.

Connor Spencer is up to date with the best of the software needed to deal with these areas efficiently.

We also use state-of-the-art software for the basic preparation of accounts, tax returns, and so on.

Should you care?

Care that you have chosen our firm to meet your needs and the needs of 21st Century business. The detail is for us to care about. We take away your worries.

HMRC Investigations again

The Daily Mail has reported that “tens of thousands will face intrusive new tax investigations under plans unveiled by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg..... (and that the government) ......“will pursue a £900 million drive that will see the number of people targeted for tax checks rise from 5000 to 150,000. Half of all people paying the 50p top rate of tax will have their tax affairs raked over by a dedicated team of investigators...........”

So much for smaller government, but at least Connor Spencer clients have access to, and have largely taken up, insurance cover to pay the accountancy costs of investigations.

Deadline for paper tax returns

The deadline for filing tax returns in paper form expired on 31st October. That is no issue for our clients as all our returns are filed electronically and our clients have until 31st January 2011 to comply.
