Reading, Newbury, Oxford Accountants - Accountability

As well as all aspects of day-to-day accounting functions, we also offer the following:

Making Tax Digital (MTD)

Making Tax Digital begins on the 1st of April 2019 for VAT registered businesses above the threshold of 85K. From that day, all businesses above the VAT threshold will have to keep digital records, and submit their VAT returns using HMRC compatible software for MTD. We offer a FREE consultation to explain how all this works to ensure your business is ready and compliant. Call us on: 01189 415 341

Payroll Services

Payroll is much more than just calculating tax and National Insurance for your employees, there’s a whole host of payroll legislations that now have to be adhered to, submitting all information to HM Revenue and Customs as RTI (real-time information). This is very time consuming, so free up your time and let us take the burden away from you. We have over 25 years’ payroll management experience so you can be assured that all your payroll requirements will be expertly taken care of.

We can be involved from the start, or we can put the finishing touches to the records you already have. For FREE professional advice call us on: 01189 415 341

There’s no need for you to waste your time chasing payments any more, we can do this for you and it’s what we’re good at.

Auto Enrolment Government Pension Scheme

The law on workplace pensions has changed. Each employer in the UK must enrol eligible staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called ‘automatic enrolment’. Even if you only employ one person, you must enrol them in a pension scheme, this is a legal duty. If you as an employer fail to comply, government enforcement action and/or a penalty may be issued.

No need for you to worry, we offer a full payroll and pension service for your requirements, whether you have one or fifty employees, and will be pleased to discuss your requirements with you.

Accounting Software Training

Do you have staff that need additional training on accounting software?

These days most of the major software companies only offer ‘on-line’ training, which in many cases is difficult to follow and understand. In our experience, it is easier if the training is on a ‘one-to-one’ basis. That way, the training can be tailored to suit individual company needs. Unfortunately, this can be very expensive for small companies as a day’s training can be in excess of £1000. We specialise in small company accounting and understand that such fees are out of range of most small companies.

We offer bespoke training for reasonable fees and will be pleased to discuss your requirements.

Troubleshooting

We are particularly good at troubleshooting, give us an accounting problem and we will solve it for you. We can liaise directly with HMRC and fight your corner with any taxation issues or disputes, we can chase debtors for you etc. but ultimately we can save you money!

Now isn’t that worth a phone call? 01189 415 341
