ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT
Every business needs to prepare accounts. A robust process is used in order to demonstrate the integrity and accuracy of reported financial information. If you run your business through a limited company we make sure that your accounts comply with the Companies Act, and with current accounting standards.

Audits provide an opportunity for you to benefit from a fresh insight, review the health of your business and to plan improvements. Wherever possible we provide continuity of service with the staff that carry out the audit. Letters of recommendation are prepared and discussed after each audit to ensure all savings are maximised or accounting systems strengthened. The audits are carried out cost effectively with minimal interruption to your business.

TAX COMPLIANCE
It is essential that businesses comply with the taxation legislation as non-compliance may lead to interest charges, surcharges and possible investigations. Based on our vast experience of dealing with the tax authorities, we ensure that the tax affairs of your business are up-to-date and attempt to reduce the risk of HMRC opening an enquiry.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
All business environments change and this can create as many opportunities as it does threats. With ever more rapid change, lenders, investors and venture capitalists often require an independent business review to be carried out by accountants before finalising a lending or investment decision.

Whether management is seeking additional funding, or lenders or investors require reassurance as to the viability and credit-worthiness of the business, an independent business review will provide a sound base from which management, lenders and investors can move forward.
