How we work
Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you need and what you already have in place. We then agree the scope of the work, the timetable and the fees before we begin, so you know what to expect and what we need from you.
You deal with a small team who know your business. When something changes, such as a new employee, a funding decision or a letter from HMRC, you can call us on 0141 237 6869 and talk to someone who already understands your position.
Who we work with
We work with owner-managed businesses, growing companies, family businesses, and consultants and professionals, mainly in Glasgow and the west of Scotland. Some clients ask us to take care of everything. Others use us for a specific service such as VAT, payroll or the year-end accounts. Either way, we keep the work tied to the way you actually run the business.
Which service do you need?
- Starting out, or deciding on a structure: Starting a business.
- Annual accounts, corporation tax or Self Assessment: Accounts & tax.
- Up-to-date records and management information: Cloud accounting.
- Returns, payslips and pensions: VAT & payroll.
- A forecast, a funding application or a big decision: Business advice.
- Filings and registers at Companies House: Company secretarial.
- Quarterly digital reporting for Income Tax: Making Tax Digital.
