See how we can help you and your business
Birmingham has a thriving professional sector and is home to thousands of specialists who run their own practices or supply expertise and experience to others on a freelance basis. Though they work across many sectors, from manufacturing to software design, they often face the same challenges when it comes to managing their accounts. From bookkeeping to tax returns, it’s all about time.
Let’s face it – would you rather spend an hour struggling with your own paperwork, or be working on a lucrative client project? Applying professional skill requires headspace and focus. Every bit of financial housekeeping you’re obliged to do yourself is a distraction.
From hands-on support with bookkeeping, payroll, accounting and tax returns to advice on business structures, growth strategy and long-term planning, we can help.
For professional practices and agencies, we offer everything from a fully-outsourced finance function to targeted project accounting. It’s about increasing your firm’s capacity, improving its efficiency and productivity, and, of course, minimising its tax liability. Are you claiming all the tax reliefs to which you might be entitled, such as research and development (R&D) credits? Are you using cloud software as effectively as possible?
Partnership and sole practitioners, meanwhile, will benefit from an approach which takes into account the blurred lines between professional and personal. If you need advice on exit strategies and retirement planning, or just want your personal income tax self-assessment done and dusted, get in touch. We can also advise on the shifting landscape of IR35.

“For many years, we worked with a ‘traditional accountant’. We paid through the nose just for the privilege of being told how much tax we should pay and what had happened in our business more than a year ago.
Kunal and his team have supported us in getting our systems modernised. Now we have access to real-time information about the health of our business, with less hassle and lower costs.”
