Our Approach

Our service is based on building good relationships with our clients and clear communication to ensure that tax-planning opportunities are not missed. Because we are a small, specialist firm, you will always know who you are dealing with and will receive a no-nonsense service with a genuine personal touch. We really get to know our clients, we realise that each business and individual is different and as such we offer a bespoke service unique to you.

We keep our overheads low so that you can be confident that our costs are extremely competitive and you will always know exactly what you are paying for.

We work with businesses at all stages of the life-cycle from business start-up through to planning for selling the business or retirement. We feel that all individuals, businesses and their owners should receive ongoing tax advice to ensure that they comply with the ever-changing tax regime and continue to pay the lowest rates of income tax, corporation tax and national insurance.

We can provide services for all your accountancy and tax needs, but we are also happy to work alongside your existing Accountant to provide specialist tax advice.

As well as advisory work we offer excellent compliance services to ensure that all of your recurring accountancy and taxation requirements are dealt with correctly and promptly.

Businesses

Self Employed / Sole Traders

As well as meeting all your tax and accountancy needs we will advise on various tax issues. We will also review your situation annually and advise on any pre-year end planning available to minimise your tax bill, as well as ensuring that being a sole-trader is the best set-up for you and your business.

• Personal v business ownership of assets – e.g. properties, cars
• Mitigating tax and national insurance costs and avoiding the 50% tax rate
• Tax efficient saving for your retirement – e.g. owning your business premises in a pension
• Self Assessment Tax Returns
• Year end Accounts
• VAT, PAYE and Payroll
• Property Income / Capital Gains Tax
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Business Advice and Tax Planning

Partnerships and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

We can meet all of the annual accountancy and taxation needs or your partnership or LLP, including filing all the statutory forms required for LLPs. If you are trading as a partnership and thinking about becoming a company to limit your liability we can help you explore this or advise on the benefits of becoming an LLP.

Contrary to popular belief a company is not always the most tax-efficient structure for a profitable business because once profits are taxed in the company a second tax charge usually arises when the owner extracts these same profits from the company. An LLP may therefore offer the best of both worlds – the taxation benefits of being a partnership and the protection of a limited company

As well as an annual review of your taxation position and pre-year end planning we can also advise on the following, among other things:

• Personal v business ownership of assets – e.g. properties, cars
• Mitigating tax and national insurance costs and avoiding the 50% tax rate
• Tax efficient saving for your retirement – e.g. owning your business premises in a pension
• Self Assessment Tax Returns
• Year end Accounts
• VAT, PAYE and Payroll
• Property Income / Capital Gains Tax
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Business Advice and Tax Planning

 Individuals

You may have concerns about Capital Gains Tax on assets you plan to sell, or maybe you are an employee approaching the 50% tax bracket for Income Tax, or perhaps you are worried about leaving your loved ones with a large Inheritance Tax bill on your Estate. Whatever your tax concerns, we can help you implement sensible tax planning to mitigate these current or future liabilities.

Professional Services Accountants, Solicitors and Independent Financial Advisers

Through building strategic alliances we work with firms of accountants, legal practices and financial advisers offering taxation expertise to complement their services. We can work on a consultancy basis as part of the team, or we may be engaged directly by the client.

Areas that we are typically involved in are capital gains tax planning (for example in relation to divorce settlements), specialist input in dealing with HMRC enquiries, Inheritance Tax Planning (alongside solicitors drafting Wills), as well as assisting with general compliance matters on behalf of clients, such as tax return preparation and dealing with accounts and taxation matters for Trusts and Estates.

We firmly believe that clients benefit from open dialogue between their professional advisers. In a world where the larger firms are increasingly bringing all expertise in-house it is essential for smaller firms to build strategic alliances to maintain the competitive edge and to serve the best interests of their clients.
