Book a 30-minute initial review →Stamford has an unusually high density of independent businesses — professional practices, independent retail, hospitality and small consultancies — and most of them are running on books that are tidy enough to file and not good enough to manage from.
We fix that: accurate coding, VAT reviewed before it's submitted, and monthly management accounts that tell you what your margin really is.
For hospitality and retail in particular, the gap between what the till says and what the accounts say is where the money quietly goes. Getting that reconciliation right monthly is worth more than any year-end tidy-up.
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.
Clean, reconciled books handed to your accountant at year end — which means a faster, cheaper and far less painful year-end process.
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.
Many Stamford businesses don't want a full accountancy relationship — they want someone dependable to keep the ledger straight and the VAT right. That's the core of what we do, and it's available on its own.
The difference is who does it. Your bookkeeping is handled by a qualified Chartered Management Accountant, so the person coding your transactions is the same person who can tell you what your margin is doing and why. Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax stay with your accountant, or we can introduce you to one.
