Company annual accounts
Regardless of size, every company needs to file a set of Annual Accounts at Companies House each year. These need to be in a certain format and contain certain information. These accounts will also be required by the tax authorities to support the company's tax return.
In addition to this the Annual Accounts which are sent to HMRC will also need to be electronically tagged so that HMRC's computer systems can automatically read these.
We can produce these accounts in line with agreed timetables and deadlines and we can organise for their filing with Companies House and HMRC. We can produce these as a one off exercise or they can be built up from periodic management accounts that are used to run the business.
It is important to get these accounts right, but it is also a good opportunity for many businesses to really focus on their year-end numbers and to make some of the more long term decisions. We can help with this process. If you would like to know more please don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss your requirements.
Company secretarial & Companies House
With the legal requirements placed upon companies constantly changing, company secretarial work plays an important role.
This area includes such items as:
-
The preparation and the filing of statutory returns
-
The preparation and filing of board minutes and resolutions
-
The maintenance of statutory books
-
Giving notice of general meetings
-
Providing general company legal advice
-
Completion of share transfers
This is an area that needs to be maintained in an efficient and cost effective manner. Accounting Force can really help with this by ensuring that company secretarial work is handled on time and that all legal requirements are adhered to.
Contractor tax & accounting
Contracting via a limited company can very often bring with it unwanted responsibilities and duties. We can help with this and make the whole process a lot easier. We can handle all accounting, payroll and invoicing. We calculate your tax and any VAT obligations leaving you to focus on your work.
We are also there if you need any additional support or guidance.
Company formations & start-ups
Starting up in business for the first time can be a bit daunting and the technical side can be time consuming and confusing. Deciding on the right business structure plays a big role with regards to the protection you have under the law and will also drive how you will be treated for tax purposes. Getting the structure right from the beginning is extremely important.
Accounting Force can offer full support through this process. We can help you decide on what is the best legal structure for your business and if required, we can set the company up at Companies House. We can also thoroughly go through the way the new business will be treated for tax and the best ways to help minimise any liability.
We can also take care of any budgeting and financial planning requirements to help ensure that funding is available for planned activities and we can advise on the best accounting structure and systems going forward.
Overall, a start-up can be stressful. What most businesses want is to be able to focus on the operation and not on administrative issues. We can completely take this process away and we can give solid workable advice
Company acquisitions & disposals
Buying or selling, and the related valuations are one of the most important business decisions that directors are likely to make. We believe we have a different approach to many other firms we come across. From the moment the engagement starts, we believe it important to develop a close working relationship with the client and to fully involve them in the process so they have a better understanding to reach an informed decision.
Given the experience of the partners and their extensive knowledge of the numerous factors that need to be considered, built up from their involvement in numerous acquisition disposals, and valuations, we believe we offer a service that ensures a realistic commercial valuation is given, and you are aware of the important financial issues in the process. This is certainly one area where practical experience is vital to avoid a lot of wasted time, and effort. Again, we offer various fee option calculations.
Finance & business transformation
Accounting Force can provide a wide range of assistance covering such areas as performance monitoring, including management accounts, financial and cash flow projections, grant and funding applications, advice on acquisitions and disposals. With our knowledge and professional backing, we can offer our experience to assist small and medium-sized enterprises achieve their full potential.
Regular monitoring is important in the understanding of how effectively the objectives and strategies of a business are being implemented. We are able, not only to provide a partner or senior manager to review the day-to-day progress with the management on a regular basis, but also to advise on the systems necessary to produce the requisite information; if so required, we can also produce full financial reports on the client's behalf.
