David Porthouse & Co

We have experience of preparing accounts for all types of client, including sole traders, partnerships, companies, charities and limited liability partnerships. We have particular experience with limited companies and corporation tax.

Many businesses trade only through their bank account. If all you have are bank transactions, then just give us your bank statements and cheque book stubs, and let us do the rest.

You may not need to do any bookkeeping at all, and we have very fast methods of dealing with bank statements which mean we actually prefer to do it this way.

If you have cash income, then you could just use a basic notebook to record daily takings and cash expenses. You do not need a specialised ledger. Again simplicity is better.

If we do your quarterly VAT returns, we will try to avoid duplication of work when we come to prepare the annual accounts, and pass the benefit back to you. Our specialist bookkeeping software helps us to do this.

Self-assessment income tax returns sent to HM Revenue & Customs after the October 31st deadline need to be sent electronically, which we are able to do.
