Supporting Your Business Growth Every Step of the Way

You should look for a qualified and experienced accountant who understands your business, offers proactive advice, and provides clear, transparent pricing. Membership with professional bodies such as ICAEW is also a strong indicator of quality and reliability, such as Whitehead and Howarth Chartered Accountants.

An accountant provides a wide range of services including annual accounts preparation, audit, corporation tax, VAT returns, payroll, bookkeeping, and strategic financial advice. We also support business growth through cash flow forecasting, tax planning, and compliance with HMRC regulations such as Making Tax Digital (MTD).

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a UK government initiative that requires businesses to keep digital records and submit tax returns using compatible software. It currently applies to VAT-registered businesses and has begun to expand to income tax and then corporation tax in the coming years.

Regular communication with your accountant is recommended, not just at year-end. Ongoing support allows you to stay compliant with HMRC, manage cash flow effectively, and make better financial decisions throughout the year.
