Our services can be summarised into 3 broad categories.

• Compliance
• Support
• Building a better business

We are an accountancy business and therefore we deliver all the normal services you would expect to see.

Somerset Tax & Corporate Compliance

Our basic compliance services are designed to keep your business in line with all the required regulatory bodies not least HM Revenue and Customs and Companies House.

All our compliance services are delivered on a fixed price, agreed in advance

If you read our guarantee page you will see that all our services carry a unique guarantee. This gives you additional peace of mind, knowing that your business affairs are being cared for as we have an incentive to ensure that you receive only the best possible service available. If not it costs us money!

Our clients can choose the compliance services from a range which include:

• Annual Accounts
• Periodic Management Accounts
• Pre year end tax review
• Corporation Tax Returns
• Partnership or sole trade Self-Assessment returns
• Company secretarial assistance.

For example, a Limited Company doesn’t need to appoint a company secretary now so we assume the responsibility to ensure accounts and Annual Returns are filed on time, to ensure no late filing penalties are incurred.

Accounting Support across Somerset

We recognise that clients with a small number of employees, with the owners of the business working hard to ensure the company continues to grow, need support in certain areas.

Our support services are designed to provide a cost effective, efficient solution when needed, AT A FIXED PRICE.

Our clients can choose:

• Payroll support

  Providing weekly or monthly payroll including full electronic filing. This confidential, cost effective solution frees up management time and ensures compliance to the ever stricter regulations.

• Trained bookkeepers

  From short term cover or a cost effective outsource of an important function that is so often neglected in small businesses.

• Sage Training

  Sage. Sage, love it or hate it, is the most widely used bookkeeping software in the UK. We have used Sage for many years and can provide a structured one on one training, specifically designed to ensure the client receives the most benefit from the software, without wasting time on the parts which are not important or relevant.

We encourage all our business clients to embrace the desire to “Build a Better Business”. Why wouldn’t you want your business to be the best, to achieve those goals that you talked about when planning the exciting start of what one day you want to be a multi-million pound affair.

There are 3 key areas to our “building a better business” service.

1. Profit Improvement

   This is a tailored service designed around the particular business. There are various modules from increasing sales, maximising your marketing spend, cost management and many others. All designed to help YOU make more money by improving turnover and reducing costs.

2. Cash flow optimisation

   Cash flow is the most important element in driving a profitable business forward. Without good cash management even profitable businesses fail.

3. Tax Planning

   We have helped you with 1 & 2 now we come to the most important element of our business improvement services. Helping you keep more of what you earn. Let me quote from a leading business advisor

Tax is a business cost which must be addressed like any other. Directors must run their business in the most cost effective manner and so minimising tax, providing it is done in accordance with the law, should not be viewed as unethical

Chief executive Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland.

So with that in mind we can, if requested, introduce and educate you in a number of tax planning schemes to “help you keep more of what you earn”. This is in addition to our standard service which includes a pre-year end tax planning review meeting help approximately 2 or 3 months before your financial year end.
