Contact us about accounts & tax compliance

With all the demands of running your business, making sure you submit all your business taxes correctly and on time is surely a burden you could do without. On the other hand, you can ill afford to incur HMRC’s penalties for non-compliance. That’s why our accounts and tax compliance services make good business sense.

Our specialist team will take care of all the accounts and tax compliance submissions for your business. As part of our integrated accounts and tax solution, we’ll also keep you up to date with changes in legislation that could impact your business, and ensure you continue to comply.

NOT JUST COMPLIANCE, BUT ADDING VALUE

You’ll have the support of our experienced team led by a dedicated client service manager. Drawing on their extensive experience of supporting small businesses, they’ll proactively explore all beneficial tax planning opportunities, provide practical business advice and set up regular strategy review meetings to help grow your business and maximise your returns.

We’ll compile your annual accounts and tax returns together and check everything is correctly in place before submitting them. The aim is always to save you the time and worry associated with accounts and tax compliance, and let you focus on running your business.

  • I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AAB to anyone else who, like us, may be struggling to get the expert advice required, especially when it involves coming back to the UK and managing tax aspects on overseas income and assets.

    John Bannerman

  • AAB’s Corporate Finance team provided us with expert financial and commercial advice within an extremely tight window within one working day of it being requested. We were against a very tight deadline and without the team we would not have met it.

    Paul Mosson, Law Society of Scotland

  • I cannot recommend AAB highly enough from my extensive experiences of their services which has included dissolving a partnership, becoming a sole trader and then subsequently incorporating the business, tax and general accountancy service and advice.

    Stephen Bonsor, The Dental Practice

  • The reason why we have such a long standing working relationship with AAB is because from the very outset they made a conscious effort to really understand our business. We have always found AAB to be highly professional, competent and skilled.

We’ll make sure our team members are available when you need us. When we have suggestions or need to ask questions, we’ll do so in plain English, not jargon. The emphasis is on clear, timely communication and providing consistently dependable, exceptional support.

VAT

VAT rules are complex, making compliance a challenge. We make sure your VAT returns are correct, that you’re claiming wherever possible and not overpaying.

PAYE

HMRC is increasingly keen on PAYE audits, which can catch out those unsure of the regulations. Our PAYE expertise ensures compliance and takes the pressure off you.
