What
we do
As financial experts we understand our real job is to help you become more successful
We help businesses and individuals manage their financial and compliance matters, as well as trying to help them make or save money. Accountants like talking about what they do (don’t we all?), but every client story starts with their specific problem or requirement that needs addressing. That’s why the most important thing that we do is listen.
We provide the full array of specialist accountancy, taxation, payroll, advisory and financial planning services that you would expect in a firm of our size - from complex group audits to sole trader accounts preparation.
We embrace the digital world through our cloud accounting capabilities, but equally recognise the importance of face-to-face and empathetic advice. Robots may take over the world one day, but when a client is worried about a tax bill or a business problem a friendly, familiar and knowledgeable face makes all the difference. That’s why, if you’ve made it this far, we would encourage you to get in touch.
Our technical partners
Business services
Statutory accounting and audit
Yes, we know it’s not exciting and that it’s only telling you what happened last year, but accounts need to be filed and audits need to be completed. Our job is to do it in a way that minimises your costs, reduces the hassle and hopefully adds some value. We audit many businesses, large and small, and produce over 4,000 sets of statutory accounts a year.
Corporation tax compliance
Every company has a responsibility to pay a fair share of tax. Otherwise society doesn’t work. Our job is to help you be confident that each year you don’t pay more than your fair share, and that you are up to date with all aspects of tax compliance. That way you can sleep well at night.
Specialist tax planning services
There are times when specialist help is needed to navigate more complicated tax issues or opportunities. From complex property restructuring, to planning for a business sale, to claiming R&D tax credits, we have deep specialist expertise to cover all aspects of tax advice. We have one of the largest and most capable specialist tax advisory teams in the South East.
Management accounting and bookkeeping
Some businesses like to have their own accountants and bookkeepers, some outsource their bookkeeping to people like us. There is no ‘right’ answer to what is best, simply what works best for you. We produce monthly management accounts for hundreds of businesses and still do basic bookkeeping for many.
Cloud computing services and software
There are loads of smart software tools out there which can help you with all aspects of accounting, finance and administration. We help you choose which tools are best, source the software at advantageous rates and then help get you up and running with all your data migrated. We work extensively with Xero and Quickbooks as well as many other apps.
Payroll
We have a dedicated payroll team looking after hundreds of businesses in Sussex. We manage all aspects of payroll, including auto enrolment and all year-end reporting.
Tax Investigation Support
Facing a tax investigation can be stressful, disruptive and feel intrusive. But getting expert advice at the outset can make an enormous difference to the outcome. Our Tax Investigation Support Team are here to help with bringing the even the most complex disputes to a successful conclusion.
We will advise you on how to cooperate with HMRC so you can avoid high penalties, long drawn out investigations, saving you time, expense and stress.
Personal services
Tax self-assessment and annual tax compliance
Yes, it can be a bit painful, but it needs to be done. We will help you navigate the process each year and ensure that you are benefiting fully from all the reliefs and allowances that are available.
