Accounting & General
We are accountants and business advisers, offering accountancy and tax services for businesses in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. Operating from our offices twixt Paignton, Brixham and Totnes - five miles from Torquay. We prepare annual accounts, and complete self-assessment or corporation tax returns for clients operating as either sole trade or partnership businesses or limited companies - with annual turnover from 10k to 10m.

We also deal with all Companies House record keeping and filing. Uniquely for accountants, we are also able to provide commercial and operational advice to leisure industry businesses, such as hotels, pubs, guest houses, restaurants, holiday parks, attractions and retailers. We know the financial performances that can be achieved, and of course the difficulties in doing so.

We will get off the fence, roll up our sleeves and contribute our ideas, from our experiences, to enhance your profitability. At our current Devon base for the past seven years and with roots of over fifty years in the county, we have extensive contacts in the region and the leisure industry.

We are a small but perfectly formed team of individuals covering all aspects of a full-service accountancy practice.
Our office is small, yes, but has all of the modern technology that accountants need.
Top of the range 'Digita' powers our accountancy and taxation programmes.
We operate in 'the cloud' with Liberty Accounts, used by our bookkeepers working for you in more remote locations.
At Accounting & General we can prepare accounts for you, whatever the size of your business - from start-up to 10.2m turnover or less than 50 employees.
For our guesthouse, smaller restaurants and pubs, holiday cottages and small retailers we generally produce the formal annual accounts.
Where a client prefers to use their own in-house bookkeeping system, we are happy to receive and work on this at the end of the year.
Alternatively we can provide a tailor made Excel spreadsheet for client use, from a range of generic templates.
We operate weekly and monthly payrolls for our clients, where we are advised each period of hours worked, new starters, leavers and other details.
We process the information, to produce payslips and reports and to file under RTI (real time information) with HMRC.
We operate basic monthly payrolls for micro businesses of one employee, as a part of our accountancy service.
We can register clients into the new auto-enrolment pension regime and then operate the ongoing system as a part of our payroll service.
At Accounting & General we specialise in business plans to support clients starting up or buying new businesses.
Not only do we provide the finance pages, we also write the narrative covering all aspects.
From our background of having been responsible for operating leisure businesses for commercial profit, we have, for an accountancy practice, a unique contribution to make to client plans.
We know the financial performances that need to be achieved and we know the business environment from operations and HR to marketing.
At Accounting & General we take the hassle of tax away from our clients, becoming their tax agent with HMRC.
We strive to ensure our clients pay the least amount of tax possible.
For new businesses we will register clients with HMRC, for income tax, corporation tax, PAYE and VAT.
From accounts prepared, we then complete and submit the annual tax return, under the self-assessment regime.
Hospitality operators have several extra tax features compared to other businesses.
Prospective clients need to consider this when selecting their accountant, who needs to have experience in this area.
