A client focussed approach

To provide the most pro-active approach to business matters Simon Coles & Co has developed a network of business advisers who may be called upon to assist you in your business affairs.  The role of the team is to assess where improvements, savings or general advice might be of strategic or practical benefit.

Bookkeeping

We work with our clients who require bookkeeping support to identify suitable outsourcing or other solutions. Where bookkeepers are employed we also like to work with them to ensure information may be provided in the most cost efficient way.

Accountancy

Whilst annual accounts are required to meet your business’ statutory obligations, if they are prepared in a timely and economical way, they can provide valuable information for decision making.

We actively manage the timing of the accounts production process to ensure that you meet your statutory responsibilities and through this information, take advantage of early tax planning opportunities. We also ensure there is the minimum delay between data delivery and you receiving your accounts. During this process we will discuss with you the need for any alterations or amendments to your data or its presentation and then ensure that any adjustments made are recorded in current data.

If you wish to know more about our Accounts preparation service or would like to arrange a free initial meeting in order to discuss how we can help you in more detail please contact us.

Management Accounts

Up to date and current financial information is essential to the smooth running of your business.  We will work with you to ensure you are getting the best from your existing in-house accounting solutions to aid management reporting.

Business Start Up Services

Starting up your own business is a big decision to make – it carries many exciting benefits but also an equal number of risks. However with careful pre-planning many of the risks can be minimised.

Many of our established and loyal clients have been with us since we helped them start up in business many years ago.

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through, not because they are experts in the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business.

Indeed, these matters can often seem daunting, and even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur. The good news is that you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business. All you need is the support of a team of trained experts. That is where we fit in. Bring us your business ideas and we will help you to evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner.

We can help you:

• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company.

• Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts.

• Assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals.

• Establish a good working relationship with your bank.

• Complete any registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue, or Customs and Excise.

• Deal with company secretarial issues.

• Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements.

Company Secretarial Services

Every new or established limited company has to comply with the statutory requirements as set out in the Companies Acts.

We work with a team of specialists in all levels of Company Secretarial services.  This means your business can be assured of a competent response to your compliance needs at all times.

We believe that you should be able to source expertise and information from one company service provider which is why we have developed a complete range of solutions – whatever your needs may be.

Payroll Bureau

Most businesses will agree that managing the payroll and understanding the ever-changing legislation that affects this function of your business is frustrating and time consuming. We can help with an outsourcing solution.
