Established in 1991, Christchurch based MAAP Accountants deliver a complete book-keeping, accounting and tax service for small to medium sized businesses in Bournemouth, Ringwood and the New Forest region. The introduction of intelligent software and the relaxation of reporting standards for small businesses have made it much easier, and certainly less expensive, for everyone concerned to produce year end accounts and tax returns.
This year will also see the HMRC take the first 'small' step to change the way tax-payers inform the HMRC of their taxable income. Although much will be made of the introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD) in the coming months, the exercise is really a non-event involving a small shift in the way the VAT Return Form is reported to the HMRC. We suspect a lot of people will wish they had received the advice we gave our clients.
Unless you have sound business reasons, other than MTD, to commit to new accounting software, then resist all the marketing hype to make the move for at least the next few years to come.

Services
Most of our clients pay an agreed retainer fee of between 85 and 95 each month for a complete accounting service.
We do review our charges on an annual basis and make small incremental increases inline with the rate of inflation.
We also reserve the right to charge separately for additional services you may ask us to undertake from time to time, such as providing references for lenders and suppliers, helping you defend a tax investigation, buying or selling a business, or advising you complex inheritance and capital gains computations to name but a few.

MAAP Accountants offer employers a comprehensive out-sourced payroll service for employers who would rather divest themselves of the need to try and keep abreast of the regulations and compliance issues involved of running a payroll.
If you recognise that you and your staff could put their time to better use other than struggling to run the payroll function each month, then please give us a call on 01202 482121.
We have a simple solution that reduces your involvement to just emailing us how much to pay your employees at least three working days before you intend to pay them.

In our time we have run a successful builders services business sub-contracting out work all the time.
So unlike most accountants, we know from hands-on experience what's involved and how to get on with people who work in the trade.
We also understand why so many tradesmen accept CIS, but cannot really be bothered with all the paperwork that goes with it.
They are more than happy to pay MAAP to deal with paperwork rather than keep paying fines for late delivery that cost more than our fees anyway.

If there is one aspect of being in business for yourself that seems to strike terror into the heart of the owners.
Why that should be, is something we can never understand.
VAT accounting is easy.
You just have to be organised and consistent in the approach you take to writing up your sales, purchases and bank accounting records.
MAAP offers a complete 'cradle to grave' VAT book-keeping service that will allay all your concerns.
If you are trading and not currently registered for VAT, your main concern will be to make sure you keep a careful track of your moving 12-month sales figure.
