Accounts preparation

 

Do you need accurate accounts prepared on time? Butterworths Accountants prepare accounts to support the completion of self-assessment tax returns and to produce financial statements for filing at Companies House, including abridged accounts to ensure that the minimum amount of your financial information is made public.

All accounts are prepared to agreed timescales and deadlines. In addition to reporting what has already happened, we also review your figures to identify opportunities to help minimise your tax liability.

Management Accounts and Information

If you measure it, you can manage it. Up-to-date, relevant and timely management information allows you to make better business decisions.

Butterworths Accountants provide monthly or quarterly management accounts, key performance indicator reporting and comparisons of actual performance against budgets or prior periods. We also supply branch and divisional results, costing information and break-even analysis.

We can help you set up in-house systems to produce your own management information and provide training on how to get the most value from it. We also prepare management information for lenders when required.

Our aim is to give you clear, practical insight into how your business is really performing so you can plan with confidence.
