Services: "Focused on delivery and response"

Audit

The current audit client base includes incorporated businesses, registered charities, pension schemes, solicitors and trusts.

The audit approach is based on a risk basis method for which an in depth understanding of the client's operations, control procedures and business environment is essential. Not only does this provide for an efficient and effective audit, it also enables a mutual understanding of where clients wish to take their business and enables us to assist clients in achieving their ambitions.

Non-Audit

Financial Statements for incorporated businesses with a turnover of below £5.6 million, although they do not have to be audited, still require filing at Companies House (below £250,000 for registered charities).

We prepare financial statements from the accounting records of such Companies in the format required for submission to the Registrar of Companies and/or other regulating bodies such as the Charities Commission.

Accountancy and Business Advisory Services

Not only does the Practice prepare the accounts of unincorporated sole traders and partnerships, it also provides bookkeeping assistance and advice to ensure continued improvement in client's records. Management need to be able to use their advisors to allow their own time to be spent running the day to day business operations.
