The Practice

The Practice
Tax Returns Our average current fee for processing a tax return is.... £ 65.00. For a full listing of current fee rates please see the bottom of this page. Regulatory bodies. The practise is regulated by the Association of Certified Public Accountants and the Association of Accounting Technicians. Practice policies. We have a policy of using plain language whenever possible in our dealings with our clients. We try at all times to explain how laws, rules and regulations work as we do not consider that clients should be kept unaware of what effects them. We have a policy that all clients whatever their size and requirements are treated equally in that they are given exactly the same levels of professional and courteous service. We have a policy that it is better to undertake preventative measures then to retrospectively solve any problems that may arise during the lifetime of a business. Effectively it is better to spend a little extra time on the accounts preparation than to spend a greater amount of time involved in dealing with an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs. History of the practice. The practice was set up in January of 1993 with the aim of providing a cost effective and accessible service to individuals and business's in the Dorset area. We have always been fairly unique in that we are prepared to hold client meetings at times and locations that suit our clients. Meetings may be held at our clients place of business or their homes at times which include evenings and occassionally weekends. Generally we are contactable from 9am till 6pm Monday to Friday thus allowing contact with us at times convenient to the client. This accessability for the clients to contact and meet with us allows our clients to concentrate on revenue generation within their business's particular business hours. Experience. We have provided our expertise to both large and small business's. From the builders labourer to international companies. We have an extensive knowledge of many industries ranging from manufacturing, retailing through to medical and leisure. We have always prided ourselves on our ability to understand a clients business and their needs. Fees. We charge for work carried out on a time spent basis. However if you require for budgetary reasons to have a fee ceiling, then we are prepared to work on a 'time spent up to a maximum fee' basis. As a small practise we do not have the overheads of the large practises, therefore we have been able to maintain more modest fee charge rates. This has the effect that for many clients moving to us from other practises that they have gained an overall reduction in their fees, whilst at the same time gaining a more personal service. Our current terms is payment within 14 days of invoice date. We are able to offer a standing order method of payment for those who would prefer this alternative. Our present fee rates are as follows... Taxation work ( including tax return work ) £ 85.00 per hour Annual Accounts preparation £ 65.00 per hour Payroll services (including all stationery ) £ 60.00 per hour Bookkeeping £ 45.00 per hour These rates apply for the period commencing 1st May 2010
