We specialise in

The Services we offer are bespoke to meet the varied needs of our clients. Consequently, we provide a diverse and comprehensive range, designed to help growing businesses, and people who run them.

We provide Full Accountancy service for our clients with business in the UK. Whether its help with business strategy or tax, our approach is entrepreneurial, commercial and focused on success. We help our clients maximise business opportunities and minimise their costs.

Our professional services help our clients take control of the administrative side of their business, leaving them free to focus on strategy and growth. From start-ups to exit plans, from the back room to the boardroom, the AcuAccounts team are here to help you all the way.

Payroll - Digital

When employing someone for the first time, you must register as an employer. This is to in­form HMRC that your employee has started working for you. We will now have a responsibility to calculate the tax and national insurance contributions (NIC) of your employee, and then withhold this form their pay and submit this to HMRC on their behalf.
Tax and National Insurance is usually calculated monthly and payments are made to HMRC by the 19th of the following month, or the 22nd if paying electronically.

Annual Accounts and Management Accounts

When we prepare year-end accounts for our clients, we view it as an opportunity to discuss the recent performance and prospects for your business. This enables us to give constructive advice in all aspects of taxation and business development.

VAT Returns

VAT returns tend to be the key areas that small business owners highlight as a major distraction in terms of both running and growing their business. Many of our clients had battled on for years preparing their own VAT returns, before coming to us.

Our team will be able to talk to you through how we can help and offer you a cost-effective method of relieving you of VAT returns admin and freeing up your time to generate value within your business.

Incorporating the VAT returns process into your accounts production process means that the accounts team can provide you with quarterly management accounts and timely progress updates against your annual forecast. It also means that the bulk of the work on the statutory accounts is completed within the fiscal year, meaning that filing can take place quickly and efficiently and as soon as the final quarter’s VAT return is submitted.

Self-Assessment

Most of our clients need to file personal tax returns, as a result of being a company director, self-employed or a member of a partnership. Our team will work to integrate the information from your company accounts into your tax self-assessment return. We will also factor in income from other investments, land or property and overseas assets if applicable.

Bookkeeping

Every business needs to keep record of their income and expenditure. This is called bookkeeping in the accounting world. As soon as you have the intention to start working for yourself, you should keep paper records of every financial transaction whether manually or electronically.

FINANCE SOFTWARE INTEGRATION

Embracing the change of the evolving tech landscape, which has meant an abundance of newly automated services. Accounting software, the cloud, and online communications are some of the technologies that are making some of the biggest differences. The use and range of these automated helpers is only going to increase and improve.

Business Advice & Strategy

A decade’s real world managerial experience at your disposal and can be put to good use from the outset, by helping you put together a well-considered business plan which will allow you to plan and formulate realistic and accurate forecasts.

Our team will use this information to create a financial model that will tie these financial pro­jections to your cash flow and balance sheet.
At AcuAccounts, we have excellent contacts within the major high street banks and as result successfully helped raise investment from banks for specific clients.

Work-Place Pension

As you may be aware the Pensions Act 2008 introduced new rules for workplace pensions in the UK. These changes affect every workplace and make sure that every worker will have a chance to save for their retirement.

Under the new rules, every employer will have to give their workers the opportunity to join a workplace pension scheme that meets certain standards. This change will affect your

business processes by the following additional tasks that you will need to perform to make sure your workers are enrolled, and you remain compliant with the new workplace pension legislation. As an employer, you will be required to:

– Assess the eligibility of your workforce

– Review your current workplace pension arrangements

– Communicate information to your employees about the new pension rules

– Facilitate opting out requests and refunds

– Keep accurate and up-to-date records

Financial Forecasting

Our team can help you create accurate financial forecasts and budgets. Accurate forecasting is the key to financial peace, by liaising with our team, they will be able to provide you with financial forecasting to suit your requirements, either in terms of managing your monthly fore­cast, or perhaps preparing a 5-year plan for potential investors.

In addition, many of our clients like us to help them put together a budget for the following year, either in monthly or quarterly basis. Budgeting can be an excellent way of making sure revenue milestones are achieved and costs are kept under control in line with expectations.

Company and fund set up, administration and secretarial services.

Limited Company Setup

Limited Company Registrations are our business.

Limited (or Ltd, both the same thing) Company is an entity through which you can trade with your business. New or old, large or small, Limited companies are for anyone. We hear often ‘I’m not yet big enough for a Limited Company’, it’s a common misconception, there is no minimum turnover or date by which you must start trading.

Trading through your limited company is a safer way to trade as the liability is limited to the share value. If anything should go wrong, you and your personal assets are protected. Any trade done through the company is the company’s liability, not yours. If you are trading as a sole trader however, the liability is all on you. This makes a Ltd Company a great option for new start-ups.

A Ltd Company (technically known as a company limited by shares) can be registered in just a few hours. The company will then be public information on the register of companies, held by Companies House in Cardiff. We are agents approved by Companies House.
