Performance monitoring is very important to businesses and a large amount of our time is spent in this area. Preparing regular management figures and interpreting the results leads to a successful business. We will help with the decision making of the business and business strategy.

Payroll Services
Most accountants say they offer payroll services but we have a dedicated department specialising 100% in payroll. We have specific bureau payroll software, which makes us cost effective to our clients.
It is difficult for clients to keep up to date with the ever-changing legislation, our staff are specifically trained in all aspects of payroll and regularly attend updating courses.
The advantage of using a bureau payroll service is that you don't have to pay costly annual software maintenance and we are highly confidential. No payroll records need to be kept on the clients' premises and only one figure for gross pay appears on the bank statement. All employees are issued with a security payslip and we submit the monthly PAYE and NI payslip.

Business Planning
Businesses have a greater chance of survival and generate more profits by developing a business plan. This can take many formats from simply budgeting for annual turnover to producing detailed cashflow and profit and loss forecasts together with a documented longer-term business strategy. An area we are becoming more involved with is the monitoring and interpreting of results. We will gladly attend periodic meetings to assist and educate management to interpret results and plan for the future.

Business Start-Up
This is an area we have developed over many years and we offer all clients an initial free consultation. It is essential that new businesses take advice at an early stage and statistics show that the chances of survival is greatly increased with planning and professional assistance. New businesses face penalties from the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise for not registering on time. We will guide your business through the early stages and provide you with all the support necessary to give your business the best possible start.
All new clients are given a copy of our comprehensive guide to starting a new business. If you would like a free copy please request one in our contact us section.
