Self-assessment can be a time consuming and often confusing business for busy individuals. It is also an area where getting the small details right is of huge importance.

Not only must you consider the time requirement and administration of completing the Return but you must also make sure that you take full advantage of the correct areas of tax legislation. It is essential that you have an accountant who helps give you total peace of mind. An accountant that deals with all of the administration and keeps your tax bill to the legally minimum amount.

We want to make things as simple as they can be and yet make sure that everything is above board and acceptable to HMRC.

VAT is one of the most, if not the most, onerous tax regime imposed on business - so complex in fact that many businesses inadvertently underpay, or overpay VAT.

The ever widening scope of VAT, the never-ending stream of detailed changes to the regulations and the ever growing demands of HMRC, call for a trained professional to ensure that you do not fall foul of the regulations and do not pay the Exchequer a penny more than you need to.

We provide a cost-effective VAT service, which can include help in the following areas:

- Assistance with VAT registration
- Use of the most appropriate scheme for you and your business
- Advice with VAT planning and administration
- Assistance with completing VAT returns.

Corporation tax represents a substantial amount of your trading costs. The increased reporting obligations and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an unnecessary amount of your time and resources can be taken up collecting revenue for the tax man.

We offer a range of services to help you minimise your corporate tax exposure and relieve you of the administrative burden of complying with corporate tax legislation. These include but are not limited to:

- Advice on the most tax-efficient structure for your business
- Taking full advantage of all tax opportunities and reliefs available
- Capital allowance planning and advice
- Meeting the rigorous demands of compliance including corporation tax self-assessment
- Acting for you on your behalf in discussions with the tax authorities

We believe that successful businesses are built upon the foundations of sound financial information. Accountancy isn't just about keeping compliant; it's about learning from past performance to make a positive difference going forward.

Many accountants simply underestimate the power of genuinely useful management information. Management accounting isn't all about standard measures, it's about finding out what the key drivers of your business are and how we test, measure and improve as a continual process in the key parts of your business.

Should your business have or seek finance or investors, or hold large banking facilities, it may well be a requirement of the investment that monthly or quarterly management accounts are prepared and submitted.

We can ensure that all of this is taken care of and can also act as your registered office address, so that all correspondence comes directly to us. We can therefore deal with it in the most timely and efficient manner possible, easing the burden on you and your business at the same time.

Gone are the days when Inheritance Tax (IHT) was the sole concern of the wealthy. But while many people are aware of the need for IHT planning, few still do anything about their potential liability. So few, in fact, that HMRC collected £3.1bn in IHT revenues in 2012/13 alone.

IHT is just one of the many areas to consider when protecting your family and home - others include Capital Gains Tax, illness and loss of income. Assessing the right protection for your specific needs is essential to any wealth management solution.
