Company Accounts

Every limited company must have properly and accurately prepared accounts in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the financial reporting standards.  Which are prepared at least once a year for Companies House and HMRC and sometimes banks also require them.  We can carry this time-consuming burden for the company and its directors, not only producing the accounts but also filing and submitting them.

We are registered auditors.  Most small accountants no longer provide this service but it can be invaluable for shareholder reassurance, finance companies or to reassure a potential buyer of your company about your financial position.  In addition some larger companies are legally required to have an audit annually.

Company Secretarial

Research and Development Claims

Companies that spend money on research and development activities can claim additional relief to reduce their corporation tax bill.  This can lead to a tax credit of over 100%!  It is important to get a claim in if you’re eligible and our experienced tax team can save you tax!

Capital Gains Tax

We calculate and advise on Capital Gains Tax (CGT), the tax you pay based on the profit when disposing of an asset.  We can help you maximise the use of your CGT allowances to reduce the tax you have to pay.

Wills and Powers of Attorney

It is important to protect your estate for your loved ones should the worst happen.  A well written Will, with the right tax planning, can reduce your inheritance tax liability by tens of thousands of pounds and protect your wealth for your loved ones.  An additional protection is a Lasting Power of Attorney, a person appointed to deal with your affairs should you become incapable of doing so.

IHT Planning

Although a Will is an important part of Inheritance Tax Planning it is only part of the solution.  Appropriate IHT planning can reduce or eliminate your IHT liability on death but must be done as early as possible for maximum benefit.
