What’s included in our Small Businesses Accounting package?
At Essendon, we offer accountancy services to businesses of all sizes. We can support you as your small business accountant in various areas of finance as well as business advice.
When you own and run a small business, you take on many roles: sales, marketing, operations, IT, etc. You’re passionate about what you sell, but all these other responsibilities come with it. The challenge is that you’re probably not experienced in some of these roles, which makes them stressful and time-consuming.
Bookkeeping is a great example. You know that keeping on top of the figures is critical; you need to issue invoices and pay your staff and suppliers. However, tracking the financial health of your business takes time and knowledge, and you reach a point where you wish you had more support in this area. When you work with a small business accountant, we can look after these details for you so you can focus on other areas of your business.
When it comes to your Small Business accounts, we can assist with the following:
Value Added Tax
Different rates for different businesses You may need help with your Value Added Tax (VAT) obligations, and advice on registration and when voluntary registration may be beneficial. It is important to look at your purchases and see which input VAT can be claimed, and know the difference between the different rate schemes and which products […]
Statutory Financial Statements
Taking the stress out of preparing your statutory financial statements, keeping everything clear and compliant. Any business generally has nine months from their year end to file their statutory financial statements and accounts with HMRC. To do this properly, you also need full unaudited statements for the shareholders which are attached to the Corporation Tax […]
Personal Tax Returns
Expert knowledge to help you maximise the numerous tax allowances and reliefs that are available Many people find it time consuming and complicated to file their own personal tax return, and still ensure they only pay the right amount of tax. Whether you are a sole trader, in a partnership, a director of a limited […]
Payroll
A complex, ever-changing landscape Payroll can be incredibly time-consuming, with the added pressure of ensuring it is completed accurately and to a specific deadline. As an employer, you are required to submit payroll information, as well as national insurance and PAYE tax, to HMRC every time you pay an employee. There are many questions you […]
Management accounts
Taking care of your day-to-day business Our aim is to take care of your day-to-day business through managed accounts, and ensure the relevant statutory filing is always submitted on time. With the complexity of required submissions to Companies House and HMRC, it makes sense to let us handle your bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and final yearly […]
Financial Director

Corporation tax
Ensuring you pay the right amount of tax When compiling your statutory financial statements, care must be taken with both the Corporation Tax computations and the final return. Apart from the financial statement, many necessary supplementary pages need to be prepared; for example, where the company has made loans to those with a participating interest […]
Construction Industry Schemes
We make dealing with Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) rules simple – so you can focus on building, not paperwork. Whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor or a business that spends on construction, then the Construction Industry Scheme may apply to you. The scheme’s rules could affect how your tax and national insurance contributions are handled. It […]
Company Secretarial
We take care of your company secretarial tasks so you can keep your focus on steering the business forward. Every business must have someone to take care of the company secretarial side of the business and deal with Companies House, yet this is an often-overlooked yet important task. And it’s not just about filing of […]
Capital Gains Tax
Taking full advantage of your allowances If you sell assets that have increased in value, then you are going to be liable for Capital Gains Tax on the profits. From personal possessions, business assets and property, to shares and investments, you need to make sure you are paying the correct amount of Capital Gains Tax. […]
Bookkeeping
Financial expertise and support with the day-to-day accounting needs for your business It can be a time-consuming, complex, and often-neglected task. However, every business is required by law to ‘keep books’ and as your business grows, so too does the amount of bookkeeping. You need financial expertise and support with the day-to-day accounting needs of […]
