How Barrie Ingram Accounts can help you with our
Limited Company Package
Bookkeeping
Barrie Ingram Accounts are fully modernised and in the cloud for our bookkeeping services. So whether you are personally posting transactions, conducting bank reconciliations or preparing invoices, you can do this anywhere on your laptop or phone, or contact us and speak directly to Barrie Ingram. All your bookkeeping needs can be taken care of by us in house, leaving you with the only concern of sending the invoices.
Payroll
At Barrie Ingram Accounts, payroll is essential for timeliness, accuracy, and clear communication with your staff. We need to make sure holidays, annual leave, and sick pay are part of the schedule. The way to do this is through our normal contact methods: email, WhatsApp, call, or text. We can take care of all of this for you, or provide training so you can carry it out yourself, with the software included.
Tax Services
At Barrie Ingram Accounts Limited, we hold the relevant AAT qualifications to fully understand the regulations surrounding self-assessment filings for directors, including dividends, property, investments, and similar income. We also manage VAT submissions and compliance with VAT regulations. Corporation tax and personal taxation are included within our services, giving you peace of mind.
Support & Training
Support and training are essential to the progress of any business. We keep you up to date and provide the necessary training where required. This is particularly beneficial for companies with intensive or specialised needs, such as large payroll requirements or extensive fleet services involving fixed assets and leases, helping to keep you ahead of the curve.
Accounts preperation
The core process of any business is producing timely and accurate financial accounts. These must be filed on time with Companies House, and we provide a secure portal and are a registered agent with HMRC. This enables immediate access and submission, allowing us to take care of the important details while you focus on growing your business.
VAT
VAT is important and needs to be kept on top of. Our online software can be accessed by you or by us almost 24/7. At Barrie Ingram Accounts, we can initiate changes or amend transactions within your VAT accounts in seconds using your preferred contact method: email, WhatsApp, call, or text. Our standard practice is to provide reminders for all VAT due dates.
Don't just take our word for it, here is what some of our customers have to say
Limited Companies
A successful business will often progress to becoming a limited company through incorporation. We can complete the incorporation process within a day, covering all AML requirements, regulations, and administration as part of a complete package. We are specialists in limited company operations, covering all aspects from payroll through to bookkeeping and invoicing, as well as Companies House administration services.
(CIS) Contractors
If your workforce requires engaging subcontractors, as the contractor you are responsible for the CIS process and preparation of deductions. This includes submission to HMRC and providing the necessary documentation to your workforce, as well as managing identification and AML requirements. Barrie Ingram Accounts Ltd specialises in this area, with access to some of the largest online AML facilities available.
(CIS) Sub Contractors
If you work for a large company, you will be issued with tax deduction certificates. These are important for reclaiming tax within the construction industry. As an incorporated company, there are specialist mechanisms within HMRC to ensure this reclaim is successful. Many companies experience delays in their processes, which can prevent corporation tax set-off from being facilitated.
Sole Traders
Many business success stories start as a sole trader, but knowing when to incorporate and register for VAT is important. At Barrie Ingram Accounts Ltd, we guide you through VAT and incorporation needs while managing your self-assessment obligations as a sole trader.
