We are a highly motivated chartered accountancy and business development advisor firm making the difference with a better business focus. Our experienced team offer a range of services to help SMEs and taxpayers with all their financial needs. From accounting and auditing, through business management to retirement and succession planning, we have the 'know how' to support you from starting in business to going public. Add to that our high quality network of external contacts, and you can see we're ideally placed to "add value" to all our client relationships.


Our focus is fixed on helping our clients all of whom benefit from dealing with a dedicated, professional and highly committed team of people who aim to gain a real understanding of client needs however simple or complicated their affairs may be.

We specialise in helping business owner-managers and directors to improve the profitability and efficiency of their businesses, by using advanced business development solutions we help them achieve the best possible results. Often, business owners require more than the traditional accountancy services. Having an accountant who understands how your business works, can transform your results. Here, you can find out how we can actively work with you to make your business much more valuable.

Bookkeeping and Accounting Systems

We can relieve you and your team of an enormous burden by taking care of all your bookkeeping and accounting needs, including the preparation of your annual accounts.

Our first step is to work with you so we can gain a full understanding of your business. Then we tailor our approach to your requirements so we can provide exactly the service you need. We can even help you get started with unique and cost-effective computerised accounting systems that every business can use.

Besides your core bookkeeping, we can also maintain your VAT records, prepare and audit your group pension fund, and take on short-term projects to relieve your team of any temporary overload.

But perhaps the most important part of this service is the preparation of management accounts. These are vital to the continued success of your business. We discuss your requirements with you and provide you with tailored information and constructive advice on a regular basis.

For most businesses, it's not cost effective for them to employ their own full-time accountant or Finance Director. Day-to-day accounting transactions are normally dealt with at the business premises by staff employed by the business but end-of-year accounts are produced externally - by accountants like us.

Preparing a Business Plan.

The aim of any business plan must not be to persuade a bank or investor to say 'yes' to a shaky proposition - this does none of the parties any good. Your business plan should lend some substance to your business proposal by giving credibility to what you intend to achieve. Don't use your business plan simply to show how much you know about your business. Use it to set concrete tasks, responsibilities, and deadlines. Use it as a blueprint for the way in which your business will work. Remember that nobody is going to read a long-winded business plan - nobody is going to be interested in something thats more than 50 pages long. Useful business plans contain concrete programs to achieve specific, measurable objectives. Good business plans assign tasks to people or departments. They set milestones and deadlines for tracking implementation.

Your business plan is like your calling card, it will get you in the door where you'll have to convince investors and bankers that you can put your plan into action. You want your calling card to look impressive, so make sure your business plan is printed out on good quality paper and check the spelling and grammar. Make sure that your numbers add up. Anyone who sees errors while reading your plan will wonder whether you are going to make similar errors in running your business. A great business plan is the best way to show bankers, venture capitalists, and business angels that you are worthy of financial support. Make sure that your plan is clear, focused and realistic. Then show them that you have the tools, talent and team to make it happen.....We hope that the information set out here provides you with a flavour of the services that we provide, across all aspects of accounting, for a more in depth look, please visit our website, or call on 0870 389 1414.
