A few years ago I was looking for a firm of local, professional accountants that would understand myself and my business and provide the services a small business requires. I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Phillips & Co Accountants provide not only a professional service based on sound knowledge from years of experience, but whenever I have needed help and advice they always respond immediately and informatively.
Phillips & Co have supported our business with both accounts filing and advice for several years now, and they have provided us with a tailored service that suits us down to the ground. Fantastic value for money is combined with a wealth of experience and knowledge of business accounting structures and mechanisms. Their flexibility and willingness to help has ensured that our business has gone from strength to strength since we teamed up with them.
I have been using the services of Phillips & Co for a number of years for three businesses that I own, one as a sole trader, one as a partnership and the other as a limited company. I have found Phillips & Co to be extremely reliable, efficient and most importantly, easy to communicate with. I have recommended Phillips & Co to others and have had very positive feedback with a number of them engaging Phillips & Co as their accountants.
We’ll provide you with all the services your business needs to grow. That’s not just accounting, tax and VAT services, but a wide range of other business services too. At all steps along the way we will explain to you which services you may require and why. For costing purposes, we can then quote for each individual service or group them as part of a package, depending on client preferences. We use industry leading accounts, tax, bookkeeping and payroll software to provide the highest quality service.
Accounting
As chartered certified accountants, our experience and knowledge helps us understand our clients’ businesses, allows us to work closely with them and complete accounting assignments to agreed timescales and with an agreed fee structure.
Landlord
Many landlords are moving their properties into a company and purchasing any additions to their portfolio through the company. This may be the best course of action for some, however, the options need to be evaluated on an individual basis.
Business
At Phillips & Co, Our accountants and financial advisors prepare business management accounts, budgets and forecasts. We meet regularly with our clients to provide financial advice and discuss their business development goals.
Value Added Tax
VAT is an increasingly complex part of running a business. We provide specialist VAT services and consultancy on a range of areas, identifying opportunities to improve cash flow, saving time and in many cases reclaiming VAT back.
Business Start Up
The financial aspects of running a new company, and such matters can often appear daunting. The support of a firm of experienced accountants who specialise in helping startups find their financial feet, can be priceless.
Bookkeeping
With our bookkeeping service you can go about your business safe in the knowledge that you will receive accurate and professional reporting of your business affairs using the cloud based accounting software KashFlow.
Payroll
Payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries, bonuses and deductions for an employee. From a business perspective, payroll is a key area as employees are very sensitive to payroll errors and issues.
