We are a small and (we think) friendly accountants office, and will deal with your affairs in an informal but professional manner. We try to 'tailor' our service for the individual client, which will vary from providing weekly payroll, book-keeping and business support for certain clients, to producing a set of accounts once a year for other clients.
My aim is to try and make tax and accounts understandable to my client, and to provide any support I can to help my clients business succeed. We try and make the 'visit to the accountant' as painless as possible, while providing a professional and value-for-money service. The practice was established by my father, Michael Cawthorn, in 1989, and I joined the business full-time in 1999.
I deal personally with all my clients, and am ably assisted (some would say directed) by Shirley Maeer, who has worked for the business since 1990, and my wife Karen.

Services
A significant part of our work is involved with un-limited companies, be they Sole-Traders or Partnerships.
Starting out with a business?
We will chat informally with you about your responsibilities upon going into self-employment.
We will deal with establishing the business with the Inland Revenue/NIC office and, if necessary, the VAT office, and will help you to decide whether a Sole Trader or a Limited Company is the best business format.
I also appreciate new businesses keeping in close touch with me over the early months, as this period often decides the success of the enterprise.

We deal with a growing number of Limited Companies.
The tax breaks afforded to limited companies are diminishing, so the conversion of Sole Traders to Limited Companies is slowing down, but the Limited Company is a popular method of trade for a variety of reasons.
As with Sole Traders, we will help with the following.
Starting out with a business?
We can discuss and advise you on whether and how to form a limited company, and help set up all the associated requirements ie PAYE systems and VAT.
We produce statutory accounts as required Companies House and the Inland Revenue, but I do also try where I can to use the client account meeting to delve under the surface of the business, and help the client to understand how the business has performed for the year.

I think that the key area, especially in the early days of a business, is to have a clear view of what you WANT to achieve, and an even clearer view of what you NEED to achieve to survive.
A Business Plan, if done correctly, will turn the above sentence into a set of targets for your business.
Business Plans are often required by a lender in order for you to gain a business loan.
If the business plan gets 'under the skin' of your business, it can provide a weekly/monthly/yearly set of targets for you to hit, to help you to keep your business on the right track, and to give you the confidence of knowing your business is on the right track.
