Our company formation service provides end-to-end support for establishing your limited company. We handle all registration with Companies House, prepare the necessary documentation including memorandum and articles of association, and advise on the most suitable structure for your business.

Management accounts provide regular financial insights (typically monthly or quarterly) to help you make informed business decisions. Unlike annual financial statements, management accounts offer timely information on profitability, cash flow, and key performance indicators. They enable you to identify trends, monitor performance against targets, and address potential issues before they become significant problems. Our business advisory service includes interpreting these reports and providing actionable recommendations.

Choosing a CIMA certified accountant ensures you're working with a professional who has met rigorous international standards for management accounting. Our chartered accountant possesses advanced expertise in small business accounting, financial strategy, and business management. This qualification demonstrates a commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical standards, providing you with confidence in the quality of advice and service you'll receive for your Andover business.

Statutory accounts are formal financial statements required by law for limited companies, filed with Companies House and used for corporation tax purposes. They follow specific formatting rules and accounting standards. In contrast, management accounts are informal reports prepared for internal use to aid business decision-making. They can be customized to your specific needs and produced more frequently. We provide both services to ensure your compliance needs are met while giving you the financial insights to grow your business.

The frequency of accounting advice depends on your business's size, complexity, and stage of growth. For most small business accounting clients, we recommend monthly reviews for bookkeeping and management accounts, quarterly meetings for VAT and payroll matters, and annual consultations for tax planning and statutory accounts. However, as your chartered accountant, we're available whenever significant financial decisions arise or when you need advice on specific opportunities or challenges throughout the year.
