See an accountant and tax agent as soon as possible if you are starting a business in Carlisle. When HM Revenue & Customs talk about you having a tax adviser, they mean accountants like us. We can prepare your accounts and submit your tax return, and if you see us sooner rather than later, we can guide you in avoiding penalties and keeping your tax bills down to sensible levels.
If you are starting self-employment, that is the same thing as starting a business. We can advise you on whether or not you should start as a company, on taking on employees, and on VAT registration, and help you not to do things which are inappropriate. We recommend that you see an accountant quickly if you have already started as a company so you don't waste your personal allowance or an opportunity to pay dividends.
Our use of advanced new technology makes us both affordable and fast. We are based in Stanwix, serving Carlisle and North Cumbria, and prepare professional accounts with a personal touch. Bookkeeping advice - we have a simple free starter system and we will ask you to do as little as possible.

What do we actually do?
Produce accounts, you might say, but what do we do with them?
This may help also to demystify some of the jargon and the bureaucracy we have to deal with.
At the end of the business year, business records need to be handed in to us, or e-mailed to us.
Typical records are a cash book, bank statements, cheque book stubs, any invoices issued, any VAT records, any hire purchase agreements, and so on.
From these we prepare accounts to work out how much profit you have made.
This profit needs to go on your income tax return along with any other income you have received, such as bank and building society interest from private accounts, or dividends from shares.

If required, we could do your accounts at high speed.
We quote a fixed fee in advance based on how long we expect your accounts to take us, which means of course that we should be cheaper.
