Striding Out | Professional Advisers - Finance

Businesses need to manage their finances and keep proper accounts so that they can manage their resources and make sound financial decisions. There is also a statutory requirement to prepare accounts for taxation purposes.

Value Added Tax is one of the most complex taxes imposed on businesses today, causing many to inadvertently underpay or overpay. The ever widening scope of VAT, the constant stream of changes to the regulations and the ever growing demands of HM Revenue & Customs call for a trained professional to ensure that you comply with the regulations.

Self Assessment has been with us for many years now and is more complicated than ever. Very few individuals or businesses are able to complete their own tax returns without professional advice, let alone calculate the correct amount of tax due. With the Revenue�s policy of �process now, check later�, our clients are increasingly finding themselves subject to a Revenue investigation.

We�ve put together some handy tips and advice to help you manage the financial aspects of your business below, and we partner with financial experts to help you make the right banking, accounting and tax decisions.
