New Business Startup
Substantial part of our work involves advising owners of new businesses. Almost all of them are overwhelmed by the number of issues they need to address. These include:
- Limited company or self employed ?
- Dividend or salary ?
- VAT registration
- PAYE scheme registration
These are all areas where we help our clients. If you are thinking of starting a new business or have recently done so please contact to discuss these matters. We will not charge for the meeting nor will you be obliged to use BAPCL in the future. For sole traders and partnerships, accounts form the basis of the self assessment tax return whilst for companies or limited liability partnerships the preparation of accounts is a statutory requirement. Whatever your circumstances, your accounts are the starting point for us to evaluate your performance so that we can guide you through your figures and help you to understand what is important and what the results mean to you.
Accountancy Services
Our clients come in all shapes and sizes and the same can be said for their accounting records. Our service is therefore tailored to your needs but feedback is also an important part of our role. If we can provide guidance on record keeping that will help to reduce our fees or the tax due, then we will advise accordingly. Regardless of where we start, our end result is a professionally prepared set of accounts with accountant’s reports providing reassurance.
Book Keeping and VAT
More and more clients now like us to be more involved in their accounts with regular assistance throughout the year, leaving them to get on with what they do best. We have a dedicated book keeping staff that can take care of all aspects of bookkeeping, regardless of large businesses or simple record keeping for small businesses who appreciate that bookkeeping is not their strong point. Typically we provide monthly or quarterly management information so that business performance can be monitored on a regular basis. At the same time we prepare and submit the VAT return. Our rates for book keeping, VAT and payroll are extremely competitive and in most cases lead to a reduction in the annual accounts and tax return fee.
PAYE and National Insurance are areas that few clients are comfortable with. Our dedicated bookkeeping staff handles the payroll for a wide range of organizations from small to large where employers with complex salary structures.
Payroll Services
Weekly or monthly payroll service which ensures that employees are paid accurately and that HMRC deadlines are met to avoid penalties. We provide clients with printed pay slips on a weekly or monthly basis that are sealed and posted if necessary. As electronic filing is mandatory for many organizations we find that clients are more than happy to outsource their payroll function, particularly given the competitiveness of our payroll fees.
