Our Services
Comprehensive Accounting Services for Small Businesses
At Sphere Accountants, we specialise in providing friendly, professional accounting support tailored to the needs of small businesses. Whether you're just starting out or managing a growing company, we’re here to help you stay on top of your finances and focus on what you do best - running your business.
Bookkeeping and VAT
We don’t expect our clients to be bookkeepers or accountants and we appreciate that this isn’t always a function that businesses find easy to fulfil. We can take the stress away from you by processing all the relevant paperwork and thereby keeping you up to date in terms of what you’re owed in, what you owe out and ongoing financial performance analysis.
Accounting: Sole Traders, Partnerships and Limited Companies
Many businesses aren’t aware of what specifically it is that they need to file with the relevant authorities and the timescales for doing this. We will explain to you how this works so that you understand what your obligations are too, and we’ll ensure compliance in terms of preparing accounts that meet the requirements of both Companies House and HMRC on a timely basis.
Taxation
This is one of the most complex areas that businesses face in terms of financial compliance, and the rules are constantly changing. At Sphere Accountants, we are experts in the field and always have the up to date knowledge on developments in this area. This is where we come in to assist you in understanding the key changes, how these might affect you, identifying any resulting planning opportunities and completing your relevant tax returns on time.
Payroll
Since the introduction of auto-enrolment and RTI in recent years, this has made running a payroll scheme more onerous on the employer than it has ever been. We appreciate that this can all sound daunting, and what we can offer to clients with employees and/or subcontractors is a weekly or monthly payroll bureau service, to ensure compliance with the very latest directives.
Business Start Ups
When an idea is born, it can be an overwhelming prospect when it comes to moving forward and taking the next steps beyond the business idea itself. We can support you every step of the way to ensure the correct business structure is used from the outset, that the necessary registrations with relevant authorities are made in time, advise on the accounting system that will work best for you, and work with you throughout the entire journey.
Business plans, financial forecasting and strategic planning
Whatever your stage in the business life cycle, we can work with you to ensure that your business objectives, and the necessary funding requirements, are assessed and met. Whether you need a full blown business plan, or just some generic advice or calculations on funding or a future proposal, we can be there to assist you with the whole process.
