Services
If you own a company, are self employed or are a charity it is likely that you will be legally required to produce a set of accounts.
Accounts are a set of reports used primarily to calculate tax and must comply with HMRC and other legal organisations.
Accounts will contain information about profit and loss, income and expenditure and a balance sheet etc.
These will allow you to clearly see where your money has gone and what changes there have been over the previous year.
We will produce a set of accounts, from your books, which can be tailored to your requirements and will meet with current legislation.

People and companies have for hundreds of years used paper ledgers to record transactions and keep a clear record of income and expenditure.

We are happy to work with data in a form that suits you.

Self Assessment is a system that HMRC uses to collect Income and other forms of Tax (such as Capital Gains and National Insurance).
Tax is usually deducted automatically from wages and pensions.
However certain benefits can be claimed which standard payrolls may not include.
The advantage of having your own self assessment calculated is that you can be sure you are claiming for all your allowances etc.
Businesses, and people with other income must report this in a tax return.
Failure to do so by the deadline may result in you including a fine and/or needing to pay interest on any tax owed.

Report
I have been with Lighthouse Accountancy for over 12 years now both as a Sole Trader and for the last 10 years as a Limited Company within the construction industry. From the first day they have given me exceptional service and advice in dealing with HMRC. They are always available either by phone or email to explain and advise me on my current tax affairs, which to many are complicated and confusing. I would recommend their services without question as accountants to their business affairs.
