We are frequently asked questions on tax ranging from the relatively straightforward such as whether an expense can be claimed or the implication of buying some new equipment for the business to more complex questions about property transactions or Inheritance Tax.

Employment related questions are another favourite with holiday pay and sickness seeming to cause the most common misunderstandings. We’ve included some of these topics in our FAQs.

Clients facing leasing and other financing decisions often call us to discuss the options and quotations they have been given and find our analysis useful and sometimes with surprising results.

Question arise on VAT, pay rises, business valuations, benefits in kind, national insurance, stamp duty,  National Office of Statistics surveys, shares, and more.

We are asked to prepare reports, compile cost analyses, arrange company searches and to produce spreadsheet to carry out relatively complex functions,

What our clients ask

At the simplest level we help with questions on book-keeping including providing help with accounts packages such as Sage with which we have considerable experience.

This isn’t a complete list of the areas we cover but just gives an idea of the variety of topics on which we can provide either a specific answer or, on more general business matters, at the very least some valuable guidance.

In many cases we can answer you there and then but sometimes we’ll need to research a matter further and get back to you.

If it’s business related then there is a good chance that we can provide some useful assistance even if it is not a matter specifically in the accountancy or tax field. Remember we are here to help and no question is too simple.

Quite often our clients have a pretty good idea of the answer to their own question but just want  the reassurance they can get from talking an issue through with us.

 Why not call to tell us what you need.

You can get our help without engaging us to do the whole shooting match. Maybe you just want your payroll done. No problem.

It’s easy to appoint us as your accountant:…

We’ll start with a chat or better still a free no obligation meeting to discuss your affairs. It’s important that you’re happy and that we know we can meet your needs. Well give you a quote for our fees and if you’d like to engage us you just give us the go ahead.

We’ll provide you with a letter of engagement together with our terms of business and we’ll deal with some initial form filling

If you already have an accountant then we’ll write to them (with your authority of course) to obtain the information which will allow us to pick up and carry on with things so there’s a seamless transfer from your point of view.
