• Accounts Preparation for unincorporated and incorporated businesses

At Russells we have an experienced and expert accounts team that help businesses across a range of industries keep their financial affairs in order.  These vary from simple accounts for sole traders to full accounts for limited companies and charities.

• Personal and corporate tax returns

• Tax advice (including investigations)

Finding the tax allowances and reliefs available isn’t always easy, given the complexity of UK tax laws. Russells will take the time to explain the approach taken with the preparation of the personal tax return and explain how any liabilities/refunds have arisen. Our approach is always to be proactive and recommend planning that suits your circumstances.

• Business consultancy

Whether you are just starting up, expanding, acquiring or taking a new direction; from concept, through formation, to realisation; whatever your business plans we have the answers, guidance and solutions for you.

We understand that businesses require more than assistance with their books and accounting, which is why we offer advice on all aspects of your business to help you achieve the success you deserve.

• VAT returns

You can spend time grappling with VAT rules and calculating VAT returns – or you can get our specialist VAT help and get back to running your business.  Our experts will take care of all your VAT needs, from preparing your returns to providing ad-hoc advice and help as needed.

• Bookkeeping and management accounts

Russells provide a fast, efficient and value for money bookkeeping service to allow owner managers to free up time, reduce risk and get timely quality information to make better decisions.  Quality bookkeeping ensures that you have accurate information to hand whenever you need it to help you run your business profitably and helps to make compliance work such as VAT preparation far easier.

To further help you to run your business we can also provide management accounts to show just how your business is fairing and to give you information to make decisions for the future.

• Payroll

Paying your employees is the biggest single transaction most businesses have on a regular basis, so why run the risk of something going wrong?  The implications of a breakdown in this essential process can range from non payment to over paying your employees or a significant fine from HMRC for submitting incorrect figures.

At Russells we remove the headache of payroll for our clients by doing the entire process for them at a very competitive price.

CIS Tax Advice

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) can be a legislative nightmare for contractors and sub-contractors alike and the expectation of HMRC for compliance is very high for both contractors and sub-contractors.

We can assist you with scheme registration, gross payment status applications, submission of monthly returns and employment status queries.
