Bookkeeping is about understanding how a business works and then providing accurate figures that enable the business to know exactly how well it is doing.

We will always tailor our service to suit each client's specific requirements and welcome the opportunity to discuss all of the options for you.

Here at Inverclyde Accounts Office, we take your income and receipts, bank and cash transactions and record all of this so that you can track just how well you company is progressing. We provide bank reconciliations, debtor/creditor reports, payments due to suppliers and from customers, and most importantly a profit and loss statement that will show the net profit that your company has made.

We can prepare your annual accounts for submission to HMRC as well as providing accounts on a more regular basis and for VAT registered customers we will complete your VAT return, which we then file with HMRC electronically on your behalf.

We can provide this service from your business premises – or if you don’t have facilities for your accounts/book-keeping we can prepare your book-keeping from our premises.

Just think – all of your transactions prepared into readable reports, giving you details of the profit that you have made from all of your hard work.

Giving you time for business growth, or just giving you back your weekends.

Payroll outsourcing can benefit any business wishing to maximise productivity and minimise unnecessary workloads helping to reduce their administration costs.

We can prepare all of your weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll for all employees – Payslips are provided.

Calculations of P.A.Y.E. and National insurance payments prepared monthly for HMRC, given in time for you to send your cheque to H.M. Revenue & Customs.

Preparation of your Payroll End of Year returns.

P60s/P14s & P35s prepared and all you do is send the paperwork to H.M. Revenue & Customs.

Also prepared for you is a report of payroll costs that we can enter into your Accounting Transactions, ensuring all payroll costs are taken from your Profit and Loss Reports.

With years of experience we can ensure that all payrolls comply with current tax legislation.

We will take charge of your income and expenditure and prepare
your self-assessment form for HMRC if you are a Sole-Trader and
we will ensure that your return is prepared in plenty of time.

This is done by taking all of your Bookkeeping transactions, checking your Bank Statements for any Direct Debits etc., and inputting all of this information into your Self Assessment Tax form.

We then meet with yourself to review the Tax Form before submitting to H.M. Revenue & Customs – delivering your return in plenty of time before the deadline, ensuring you do not incur late submission penalties.

As long as we have adequate time to prepare your return we will promptly file it by the due date.

If you do not require our Book-Keeping or Payroll services but have difficulty in preparing your VAT returns in time for submission to H.M. Revenue & Customs and are always incurring late submission penalties – let us take the strain from you.

We will prepare all of your Income and Expenditure into your VAT Return which can be produced from the computerised accounting records on Sage. We can also produce manual VAT returns either at your premises, or from our office if the information is provided.

We will remind you every quarter that your return is due and arrange a time to undertake the work, ensuring that you are not fined for a late return.

As we prepare your VAT Return there are no headaches for you – all you do is send in the return with your cheque, completed on time to be sent to H.M. Revenue & Customs, and incur no late submission penalties.

Completion of tax returns is part of our standard compliance service and is combined with providing the appropriate set of annual accounts required to accompany the return.

Tax returns are required by HM Revenue & Customs for the purpose of establishing the tax liability of individuals, partnerships and companies.

The most common tax returns are as follows:

SelfAssessment: We will take charge of your income and expenditure and prepare your self-assessment form for HMRC if you are a Sole-Trader and we will ensure that your return is prepared in plenty of time.

Partnership Return: This has to be completed by individuals who work in partnership with one or more other persons. The return is straightforward to complete once the annual accounts have been compiled. The annual accounts of the business are submitted to HM Revenue & Customs with this return.

Corporation Tax Return: This is required by all Limited Companies and must be submitted together with the company's accounts and tax computations.

We will chase any outstanding Debtors for your business – taking this added pressure from you by sending Statements, and outstanding debt letters. We keep a comprehensive record of conversations with the Customer.

Inverclyde Accounts Office will also provide, if required, a typing service for quotations, tenders, letters etc and any correspondence that you need and just don't have time to do for yourself.

We can also keep a track of your appointments, so that you need never be late or miss an appointment ever again.
