Accountancy Services
Accountancy & Taxation Services
Maintaining accurate books and accounting records is essential to managing your business success. Without accuracy you may well find yourself overpaying your tax or facing extortionate fines. It can often seem a daunting task but if managed correctly can prove hugely beneficial to your business.
At Westbury we can manage as much or as little as you are comfortable with. We can assist you through all legal obligations and help you put forward precise accounts, so that you keep hold of more of your money. Tax is a necessity, but with accurate accounting it can become a formality.
Bookkeeping & Day To Day Control
Running a business day to day takes work, which is why we deliver a number of services that look to streamline your bookkeeping. We are able to provide the most accurate records possible, and train you how to manage them with the least disruption to your business.
We include production and training of bookkeeping packages, reviewing and improving existing systems and acting as an official accounts department, managing all aspects of our client’s business finances.
Our services vary from client to client and we promise to provide a service that matches your needs but exceeds your expectations.
Accountancy
Production of accounts is essential for a number of reasons, not just to satisfy statutory regulations such as those imposed by HM Revenue & Customs and the Companies Act.
Accurate accounts are what will ensure you are making a profit and that cash is available when it is needed most. Accounts can be produced to almost any timeframe, with the most common being monthly, quarterly and yearly.
However frequently they are required though, the team at Westbury will prepare them in a timely and accurate manner, taking the time to ensure you understand the accounts and highlight any areas we feel would benefit you and your business.
We will then assist with all the relevant statutory paperwork and file with HM Revenue & Customs and Companies House.
Taxation
The taxation services offered by the partners at Westbury cover the spectrum of tax related queries. For businesses we assess and compile corporation tax, as well as help deal with PAYE setup and management.
For individuals we are able to advise our clients on areas such as self-assessment, inheritance tax and any exceptions available through capital gains tax.
Being able to offer such a variety gives us the opportunity to tailor our service to meet the requirements of the individual or company in question. Our team are knowledgeable across all areas and so can offer effective advice that will save you money and can relieve your stress.
Specialised Consultancy
At Westbury we offer a specialised consultancy that aims to provide the ultimate bespoke service to our clients.
Initially we will sit with you and discuss your situation, analysing exactly what it is you are asking from us and looking to create a personalised plan.
By tailoring our service to you in this way, rather than looking to assign you to an area that may well prove unsuitable to your requirements, we believe that we offer a unique opportunity to our clients to fully utilise the capabilities of our staff.
Our Specialised consultancy deals most frequently with sale and purchase, from merger transactions with trustees through to becoming executors on wills or analysing tax allowances. Each requirement will be different, which is why we remain so flexible. What you can guarantee though is attention to detail that leaves no stone unturned.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Westbury we encourage our clients to come in for a free initial consultation before anything is agreed. Until we know exactly what your requirements are, we won’t know exactly how to help you, so come and see us to let us find out!
There are no hidden costs with us. We are confident that once we have spoken to you in detail we will have an accurate idea of exactly how we can help. Once this is done we will offer you a fixed price upfront for the service to be performed.
Changing your accountant couldn’t be easier. Once you have decided that Westbury is for you, we ask you to sign a series of forms confirming your intention to move and then you can leave the rest to us. We often have clients wanting to transfer to us and each one would agree that the transition was an easy one.
