Kitchen & Brown Chartered Accountants

Keeping on top of your accounts

You already know that accounts are needed to settle your annual tax bill with the Inland Revenue, but you should also remember that all businesses need some form of financial management to ensure their long-term viability and profitability. For you, making the time to produce the financial information that will make yours a better run business may be extremely difficult. After all, the reason you went into business was to do something that you're good at - so let us do what we're good at ...... the accounting side.

From simple bookkeeping to producing monthly financial statistics and year end accounts, we can do it all for you.

We will work closely with you to find out exactly what you want from your accounts and how often you would like to receive your accounts should you require regular management reports.

We work with a range of bookkeeping systems from manual to fully computerised including Sage and QuickBooks. If you currently use a specific computer package you can choose whether to transfer all the information onto our system.

Our flexible approach to bookkeeping means that we can also help you on an ad-hoc basis in your busy times to help you to keep focused on your business.

How else could you benefit from having up to date accounts?

As well as providing annual statements to satisfy the Inland Revenue, there are several reasons why you should maintain up to date accounts. At different stages of your business' life you might use your accounts to:

• keep your bank informed about the business to help ensure their continued support;
• re-finance the business through financial institutions, grants or other funding sources;
• issue to company directors or shareholders to show how the business is performing;
• help to sell the business in the future.

Whatever the need for your annual or management accounts, we will provide them in a timely, professional manner. We aim to make your accounts process as manageable as possible

Whilst compiling your accounts we will also look for areas where we can help to reduce your tax liability or suggest improvements that would help your business to develop further.
