Sound familiar?
“I can't get hold of my accountant.”
Calls and emails acknowledged within one working day, by a named contact who knows your business.
“I only hear from them at year-end.”
We come to you through the year with planning and opportunities, not just last year's numbers.
“I think I'm missing tax savings.”
We review how you pay yourself every tax year, before year-end, not after.
What this looks like in practice
In 10 minutes we found thousands a year
A limited company director was paying himself £9,600 on old advice. We moved his salary to £12,570, put his pension, life cover and income protection through the company, and set up the allowances he wasn't claiming.
Result: thousands of pounds a year back in his pocket.
£80,000 taken out tax-free
An owner had put money into the business over the years. Once it was profitable, rather than take dividends or salary, we repaid the director's loan.
Result: £80,000+ withdrawn with no income tax, dividend tax or NI.
Why £200k profit wasn't £200k
An owner valued their business on £200k profit. Once a market-rate salary (c.£65k) and rent on the building they owned (£43k) were taken into account, the real figure was far lower.
Lesson: buyers adjust your profit, so get it right before you sell.
