he preparation of financial accounts for sole traders, partnerships, companies and other organizations forms a substantial part of the services which we provide. Assisted by modern technology we can efficiently prepare financial accounts from information provided by clients. The information comes to us in a variety of formats, from computer disk to cardboard box.

We do not insist upon clients providing information in a particular format, but do encourage the maintenance of sound financial records not only to meet statutory requirements (both corporate and fiscal) but also to provide benefits to clients from the process, We strongly believe that business performance is enhanced by knowledge of the financial position and is vital to decision making.

Many corporate clients ask us to prepare their financial accounts regardless of whether or not they require to be audited. They do so because of the ever increasing requirements both legislative and regulatory that govern the content of all accounts prepared in accordance with company law. We ensure that company accounts are properly prepared and filed with Companies House within prescribed time limits. The same principle applies to other organizations such as registered charities, pension funds and friendly societies.

We prepare accounts for large and small companies and have the flexibility to offer excellent service to both. No company is too big or too small to fit our ideal client profile.

Many individuals need to prepare financial accounts for a number of reasons, the most usual is for tax purposes, but this is by no means the only reason. Financial statements are often required to support a business overdraft or loan, mortgage application for the purchase of a new home or demonstrate financial stability to a prospective partner or investor. To facilitate these different requirements we can not only produce annual accounts but also interim or management accounts to meet the particular need.

As well as preparing financial accounts we can help clients to develop their own record keeping. This advisory service assists clients in maintaining full up to date records which provide the necessary information that he or she needs to run the business as effectively and efficiently as possible.
