We take an active interest in giving advice on ways that book-keeping systems may be improved - we are happy to reduce the time taken to do the routine accounts preparation work, giving us more time to consider how business performance, profitability and tax efficiency may be improved. We deal with accounts preparation for all sizes of businesses using our high quality, fully networked, computerised accounts production software.

We are fully geared up to deal efficiently and quickly with the routine work involved in the preparation and processing of personal and company tax returns. We aim to be proactive in assessing our clients' individual tax requirements and acting and advising accordingly. We are happy to advise on all aspects of tax, including income tax, NI, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and VAT.

The rapid increase in the complexity of dealing with payroll over the last few years has resulted in a significant increase in this area of our business. With the recent introduction of the Tax Credits, Student Loan repayments, on-line filling etc. clients are increasingly passing this administrative burden over to us to deal with.

This is another area where there has been a significant increase in clients asking us to deal with this aspect of their business. We make extensive use of Sage Line 50 accounts software. We are able to produce monthly or other periodic management accounts as may be required on a timely basis, to provide our clients with relevant up to date information to enable them to plan efficiently for the future.

We have been closely involved in the installation and implementation of accounting/payroll software packages at many clients, with senior staff always available to give advice at any time, especially during the early teething period.
