Accounts

Record Keeping is not a necessary evil - it is just necessary when you have worked hard to earn your cash, you need to know where it is and where it is going

As a member of the Federation of Taxation Assistants, I am qualified and have the professional back-up to deal with all types of Accounts and Taxation queries that arise in the course of running a small business

I have the flexibility to cope with your particular circumstances, whether that involves keeping track of your day to day bookkeeping and credit control or tying together the year end accounts and minimising your tax liability

As a Partner in Practice with TAS Accounting Systems and an Accredited Agent for Simply Books, I have the ability to tailor your accounts very much to the needs of your business

A natural part of the bookkeeping process is filing your VAT returns and managing your Payroll as required

Payroll

As your business starts to grow you need assistance but often taking on one or two workers generally also involves taking on a payroll specialist to pay them

Not necessarily - We can look after that in just a short time, each week or month, with just a phone call to update me on the work that has been done and any other changes and I can deliver, email or fax the pay slips to you along with detailed reports of the payroll for your records

It doesn't matter whether you have one employee or scores we can work out an arrangement that works for you

Self Assessment

Not too long ago an MP said I'd sooner be asked to undertake complex brain surgery than to complete my own tax return. Do you feel like that? Self Assessment is certainly something most of us tend to leave till the last minute and hope for the best. But unfortunately that philosophy often causes us to lose out to the taxman.

I can take your day to day records and fill in those forms to your best advantage

• Construction Industry Scheme - You have already paid your tax - don't lose it - there is much that can be claimed back and I can arrange it all for you for a fixed, agreed, sum; not a commission
  
  
• Foster Carers - The different elements involved in the way you are paid look complicated but I have done the research and understand your special needs
  
  
• Trades persons - You don't really want the hassle of keeping complicated books - don't worry - I can work from a notebook and a pile of receipts!
  
  
• IT Contractors - Again you have special tax issues to confront - but again I have walked that minefield and know the way

In fact, whatever your individual circumstances, there are always ways we can ease both your paperwork and your tax burden

VAT

Dont panic! VAT need not be an obsticle course and in some businesses can even work to your advantage. I can handle VAT along with your normal records and you will hardly notice a thing
