Book a 30-minute initial review →Letchworth has a denser base of small light-industrial and creative businesses than its size suggests — a legacy of the garden city's industrial estates, now mixed with design studios, agencies and independent professional firms.
The finance problem is consistent across both types: the books are done well enough to file and not well enough to run the business from. We supply the missing monthly layer — accurate coding, VAT reviewed before submission, and management accounts written to be read rather than filed.
For agencies and studios especially, the thing that distorts the numbers is project income spanning month ends. Get accrued and deferred income wrong and a good month looks flat while a flat one looks good.
Everything below is included in the monthly fee. Every issue we raise is tied to a published accounting standard (FRS 102, FRS 105) or an HMRC rule — nothing is a black box.
Every bank account, credit card and payment platform reconciled monthly, so the position you see is the position you're in — not an estimate.
Transactions coded to the right nominal with the right VAT treatment. Consistent month to month, so your comparatives actually mean something.
Every return inspected before submission — reverse charge, partial exemption, disallowed input tax. Errors caught before HMRC finds them, not after.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet with plain-English commentary, so you can see how the business is really doing without decoding a spreadsheet.
Accrued and deferred income handled properly, so project work that straddles a month end lands where it belongs rather than wherever the invoice happened to fall.
If something doesn't look right — margin moving, a control account drifting, a director's loan building — you hear about it that month, not next March.

Tax matters that fall outside CIMA's remit — Corporation Tax returns and personal Self Assessment — are referred out to a UK Chartered Accountancy firm we work with.
