Accountancy Services...

At AHK we do things differently.  When preparing your annual accounts we are always on the lookout for areas where the business can be more efficient and hence more profitable, whilst always ensuring we also deliver the most tax efficient solution.

When we meet up to finalise your accounts we will help you interpret and fully understand your results.  We will also take you through the financial trends in your business; discuss any issues identified during preparation and make recommendations to improve your results.

“In this world nothing is certain except death and taxes”.  Whilst tax is a fact of life, it does not have to be the death of you.  Pro-active planning is the key to ensuring you have the most tax efficient solution to meet your business and personal objectives.

At AHK we have a pro-active approach to everything we do and tax planning is no different.  We advise on all aspects of specialist corporate, business and personal tax requirements and we work closely with our clients to develop appropriate and innovative strategies for achieving their goals.

In conjunction with our strategic partners, we offer high quality and cost effective audit services. In addition to meeting a company’s statutory requirements, we develop a detailed understanding of your business to enable us to provide you with constructive advice on important issues like risk management, financial systems and control, IT systems and controls and general business processes.

In the current economic climate it is more important than ever to fully understand the risks your business is exposed to.  We will provide you with advice on how to mitigate and manage these risks effectively with the ultimate aim of helping you to improve the efficiency and profitability of your business.

With the introduction of HMRC’s Business Record Checks (BRC) and Real Time Information (RTI) for PAYE, it is now more important than ever to ensure that businesses keep proper, up to date accounting records that are compliant with all legislative requirements.

At AHK we are up to date with all current legislation and always conduct our work in an efficient and diligent manner.  This knowledge and speed of service delivery means clients often find outsourcing these roles to be a more cost effective solution, and also provides piece of mind should they ever get a HMRC inspection.

We also offer advice, training, support and back up services (e.g. cover for leave/illness) in all areas of book keeping so please feel free to contact us at any time should you need any assistance.

Remember – good records save money!

In today’s fast moving world, businesses require information in real time and financial information is no different.   Annual financial statements are historical by their nature and so relying solely on them to inform business decisions can often lead to missed opportunities and delayed decision making which can cost your business money.

Management accounts prepared on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis are a great way of keeping up to date with your businesses performance and make it easier for you to monitor your progress and to make constructive business decisions in a timely fashion.  Management accounts are a must for successful business owners.  Indeed, they are now a mandatory requirement for many financial institutions who include them this as a covenant within their loan facility letters.

If you are thinking about setting up a company but not sure how to go about it, simply pick a name and let us look after the rest.  With advancements at Companies House incorporation is no longer a lengthy or costly process, with same day incorporation available if required.

Once your company is incorporated we will also look after all the secretarial duties (annual returns, director changes, shareholder changes etc.) to ensure you comply with statutory requirements and don’t miss any deadline which result in nasty fines!
