For small businesses running a business involves lots of administration. The accountants at Worcester Accountants are happy to deal with lots of the administration.
Payroll Processing
The accountancy function processes the monthly payroll of employees, calculating the correct amount of tax and National Insurance to be deducted and reporting to HMRC the relevant information on a timely basis. This function needs to be processed on a monthly basis for each employee, and can become a very time consuming function as the number of employees increases.
VAT Returns and Making Tax Digital
If you are a small business owner then you will be aware of the changes to Making Tax Digital for small businesses. In brief, if your turnover is above the VAT threshold then you will be required to complete quarterly returns using compliant software. The Worcester accountants team are able to set up your accounts in the required software, complete the returns on your behalf and also keep all of your records up to date.
Year-End Accounts
Accountants also prepare a company’s year end accounts which are then submitted to Companies House and a tax return completed and submitted to HMRC. The relief that a company is entitled to is claimed and all of the company’s figures are reconciled. Without an accountant who has knowledge of accounts, this can be a very time-consuming task and is often prone to error.
Cash Flow Forecasting
Profit and cash in the bank is not the same as profit and are a common cause of problems to many small businesses. They can make a simple cash flow forecast to allow early identification of problems.
Finding the Right Firm
As Worcester accountants are a mixed bag of different sized firms differing in their specialisms, it makes sense to source an accountancy firm in Worcester who have experience dealing with clients in similar industries to your own.
