As a progressive firm, and as
part of our continued commitment towards assisting all businesses in
their development, we carry out other specialist services:
- Starting in Business
-
- The importance of ensuring that a
business is properly set up cannot be over emphasized if problems are
to be avoided in the future. We will advise on the advantages and
disadvantages of being self-employed or forming a limited company.
We can assist in bank negotiations, with the preparation of business
plans, VAT registration and the many other elements involved in
establishing a new business.
Company Secretarial Services
We are pleased to set up
companies on behalf of clients. We relieve our clients of
unnecessary worries by vetting annual returns and providing
general assistance to directors to ensure that statutory
records are maintained in compliance with the Companies Acts. Our
office address is often used as the registered office of the
company. We are similarly capable of setting up off-shore
corporations and trusts where necessary.
Regular Management Accounts
We prepare these accounts at
agreed intervals, usually monthly or quarterly for clients. The availability
of regular information improves business relationships with
clients' bankers and assists clients in decision making and
ascertaining the profitability of the business on a timely basis.
Regular accurate management accounts, like our book-keeping
service, will result in lower costs for end of year accounts.
Alternatively, we are pleased to review accounts or any financial
information prepared by clients and comment upon them.
Raising Finance
One of our regular functions is
to assist clients in raising finance. This involves the
preparation of financial packages including cash flow and profit forecasts
which will identify the funding requirements and indicate the long
term viability of the proposal.
Investigation Work
We
are frequently asked by our existing clients to advise them on a
proposed purchase of a business. The terms of reference are agreed
at the outset and on completion of our investigation we are in a
position to advise our clients on their proposal. We are also
skilled in performing reviews of accounting systems.
Professional
Contacts We have
professional contacts with banks, at home and abroad, building societies,
the legal profession, stockbrokers, insurance brokers, finance
brokers and others. We are glad to be able to put clients in touch
with the appropriate professional services to arrange mortgages,
life assurance and short or long term finance.
Administration
and Personnel We are
experienced in established client training programmes in
book-keeping and computerisation of records. Such courses can be
at our own Pimlico offices where the boardroom can also be made
available for clients who may wish to hold other meetings. We also
offer temporary book-keeping or accounting services in the event of
staff illness or holidays. If you are
interested in any of the above services, please
