Accounting and audit

Management accounting
Up to date financial data is crucial to the smooth running of your business and to helping you make informed decisions.

We can provide monthly, quarterly or annual reviews of your accounts, to best meet your particular needs, and can assist in setting financial budgets and targets and monitoring your business performance against these. We can also suggest steps to improve your business performance.

If you carry out your accounting in-house, we can advise on how to get the best from your existing system. We can also advise on installing accounting systems and control procedures to produce timely and reliable information and accounts for internal financial management, VAT returns or your bank.

Our in-house bookkeeping and payroll service complements our management accounting and can reduce the time and cost of preparing your year end accounts.

Annual accounts
Annual accounts are not only required to meet your business’s statutory obligations. If they are prepared in a timely and effective way, they can provide you with invaluable information to support your decision-making.

We offer accounts software that is purpose-designed to produce statutory financial statements for companies, accounts for unincorporated businesses and financial statements in the appropriate format for charities and associations.

Our annual accounts service will allow you to meet your obligations, while also providing information that will identify useful tax planning opportunities.

Audit
Audits provide a cornerstone to financial reporting. Although fewer businesses now require an audit, as a result of changes to Companies Act criteria, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may still benefit from them.

To perform effective audits, we believe that we need to know your business, the industry in which you operate and the economic factors that affect you.

Our audit assignments receive personal attention from the responsible partner and a priority for our staff is that they are familiar with, and understand, the businesses to which they are assigned, along with their operations, systems and personnel. Our very low staff turnover means that there is valuable continuity of service within our audit assignment team.

Our approach to your audit can transform what may seem like an unnecessary overhead into a valuable annual financial health check that provides reliable information for banks, investors and other funding sources, as well as HM Revenue & Customs.

Specialist audits and accounts
We offer a full range of accountancy and audit services to solicitors, chartered surveyors, landlords, charities, clubs and pension schemes.
