We believe that we should be responsive to your preferences and as such we do not dictate how, or in what form, you should keep your books and records. We pride ourselves in adapting to your needs, rather than the other way round. That said, we are happy to advise on best practice for bookkeeping and provide a supportive role to your throughout the year.

For those clients who prefer not to maintain their periodic records we provide a full bookkeeping service, including VAT, with periodic reporting.

Companies can withstand periods of loss-making if they have reasonable certainty that they can trade through such periods. But corporate history has proven that no businesses can survive without managed cashflow. This refers to the day-to-day movement of cash in and out of the business in order to pay bills, wages, etc as they fall due. We assist in preparing cashflow projections to highlight periods of cash-rich and cash-poor situations, and advise on actions to be taken.

We advise our clients when they should, or must, register for VAT, and advise on best registrations; i.e. monthly, quarterly, annual; accruals or cash basis; and using the ‘flat rate’ scheme. We assist our clients in registering, or de-registering, in transferring VAT numbers, and so on.

We advice on specific VAT queries throughout the year; and apply for ruling from the VAT office on detailed matters.

We assist clients in preparing their periodic VAT returns, or in many cases we undertake the bookkeeping and associated VAT return completion on their behalf.
