Business

Appointing your accountants is one of the most important business decisions you will take. A good accountant isn’t all about the figures, but should be a core part of the management team, understanding the same issues as you and bringing a new dimension and alternate approaches to the problem solving. Your accountant should assist with the long term strategy and highlight pitfalls and opportunities for any business, adding value to the bottom line and making your life a little bit easier. Welcome to the Plummer Parsons’ approach to business accountancy.

We provide services that are specifically designed to meet your needs. Our approach from day one is to work with our clients, building understanding and knowledge of the business so that as a client you can value our advice. We will become an important part of your business you can rely on. There are challenges to every business but together we will meet these head on and enjoy the journey.

How Can We Help You?

Structuring your business

Business structures are vitally important, whether you are facing the challenges of starting up or have been trading for years. You need to review your business structure regularly to ensure that it is helping you move towards your goals.

Whatever your long term aims and whatever your day to day needs we can create the right structure for you to make management of the business easy and responsive whilst minimising both current and future tax liabilities wherever possible.

Systems

We are on hand to help you with the day to day accounting activity your business requires. We are able to advise and train you and your staff in maintaining the books of your company and suggest improvements and ways to make the process more efficient. We can help you design and implement the systems that best suit you. Our in house expertise in software packages, such as Access, Quickbooks and Sage is also available to you.

Accounts

Of course we will prepare your annual accounts for you so that you know accurately how things have gone. We will also forward plan with you and using our knowledge of your business help you with forecasting and budgeting so that you can manage the future. We can assist you in presenting your results to your bankers and investors and we will spend the time together to understand every figure you report.

Auditing

Auditing is a big part of what we do here at Plummer Parsons and we offer a highly skilled and professional service. Our audit teams are trained and alert to offer you real value from your annual audit. If you are required by virtue of your size to present annual audited figures, or if you are required under sector specific legislation, or if you simply prefer to have an annual audit, we can provide you with a timely, cost effective and valuable service.

Taxation

We will provide you with clear and appropriate taxation advice. We are experts in all business taxes, from Corporation Tax and VAT to Income Tax and National Insurance. We understand the interaction between the taxes and will advise on the effect a business decision may make to your personal tax position. As we learn more about you and your business we will keep you fully advised in the issues important to you and will help you pay your fair share, but no more, of tax.

Regulation

Every business is subject to increasingly tight deadlines. We can help you to meet these, whether it is the VAT return each quarter, the PAYE return each May, your annual corporate and income tax returns, the monthly pay run or any of the other forms, reports and returns.
