You don’t need to be an accountant to understand your business numbers.

But you should have a good idea of what’s coming in, what’s going out and what’s coming next.

Because when you know your numbers, decisions become much easier.

➡ Can you afford to recruit?

➡ Is it time to put your prices up?

➡ Can you invest in new equipment?

➡ How much should you be putting aside for tax?

➡ Are you actually making enough money?

Your accounts aren’t just something we prepare because HMRC says so.

Used properly, they’re one of the most useful tools you have for running your business.

And if the numbers currently feel more confusing than useful, that’s where we come in - 01296 681341

Please note that our offices will be closing at 3pm today, Tuesday 29th September.

Our team will be heading off to the Accounting Excellence Awards 2026 where we are delighted to have been shortlisted for Small Firm of the Year!

We’re incredibly proud to have reached this stage so we wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate with our amazing team.

We would also like to say a huge thank you to all our clients - your continued support, trust and the opportunity to work with you has helped us get to this point.

We’re looking forward to celebrating the evening with our team and fellow finalists, and whatever the outcome, we’re very grateful to have been recognised in this way.

Our offices will reopen as normal on Wednesday 30th September.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and understanding.

Good accountancy isn't just about filing returns on time (but we're pro's at that...obviously).

It's about being in our clients corner as someone who knows their business, gives straight answers and is still there year after year as things change.

Fifteen years of looking after Roger's accounts, and we'd happily do another fifteen.... and beyond!

“Can I put that through the business?”
One of our most frequently asked questions…

If we had £1 for every time an accountant was asked:
“Can I put that through the business?”
…well, you know the rest 😂

The answer is often: it depends.

Business expenses generally need to meet specific rules, and something being useful while you’re working doesn’t automatically make the whole cost allowable for tax.

Some expenses are straightforward.

Others depend on how something is used, what type of business you run and whether there’s a personal element too.

So rather than guessing - ask us.

We would always rather you check than miss something you could legitimately claim or include something you shouldn’t.

Not everyone is comfortable with accounting software, online portals or HMRC's website (and frankly, business owners shouldn't have to be). Running your business is the job. The accountancy software and HMRC's systems are our job.

Part of what we do is making the technical side feel less intimidating, so clients can ask anything without ever feeling embarrassed about it.

September has a bit of a ‘back to school’ feeling about it, even when you haven’t been at school for years 😂

And after a summer of holidays, juggling childcare and slightly different routines, it can be a really good time to give your business a bit of a reset too.

A few things worth checking:

➡ Are your accounts and bookkeeping up to date?

➡ Are there invoices that still need chasing?

➡ How is cash flow looking for the next few months?

➡ Are your prices still covering your increased costs?

➡ Are there any tax bills or deadlines you need to start planning for?

You don’t need to wait until year end to look at how your business is doing.

In fact, the earlier you know your numbers, the more useful they are.

If you’d like some help understanding yours, give the BAS team a call - 01296 681341

We’re here for the decisions, not just the deadlines.

Accountancy is much more useful when it happens before the decision.

- Thinking about buying a vehicle?

- Taking on your first employee?

- Going limited?

- Making a big investment?

- Changing the way you pay yourself?

- Growing quicker than expected?

These are all conversations worth having before you make the change, not six months later when we’re preparing the accounts.

Sometimes a quick conversation can help you understand the tax implications, avoid an expensive mistake or simply give you confidence that what you’re planning makes sense.

We’re not just here to tell you what happened last year. We’re here to help you work out what happens next.

Things you could be doing instead of payroll…
 
Running your business.
 
Talking to your customers.
 
Getting through the rest of your to-do list.
 
Having a cup of tea while it’s still hot. 
 
Or, frankly, anything that isn’t working out tax codes, pension contributions and whether everything has been reported to HMRC on time.
 
Payroll is one of those jobs that has to be done, has to be done properly and has to be done on time.
 
But that doesn’t mean you have to do it.
 
Our payroll team can take care of the regular pay runs, payslips, HMRC reporting and all the bits in between, leaving you with one less thing to think about.
 
We’ll do the payroll. You run the business.
 
Want to hand it over? Give us a call on 01296 681341.

Payroll can get complicated surprisingly quickly, particularly when you start employing people or your team grows.

So if you’re Googling payroll questions at 9pm, wondering whether you’ve done something correctly or simply wishing it wasn’t your job anymore, give us a call.

We’re very happy for payroll to be our problem instead.
