Our approach is flexible—we can act as your full finance function or support specific areas of your business.

Compliance

Handling your core
obligations

We take care of your core financial and tax obligations, ensuring everything is accurate, compliant and delivered on time.

Accounts & Corporation Tax

Preparation and filing of statutory annual accounts with Companies House and corporation tax returns with HMRC. We handle the entire process — from posting year-end adjustments to identifying tax-saving opportunities along the way.

Suitable for limited companies of all sizes across Manchester, Lancashire and the North West.

Self-Assessment

Personal tax returns for directors, sole traders, partners and individuals with complex income. We deal with HMRC on your behalf, manage payments on account, and ensure all reliefs and allowances are claimed.

Includes ongoing tax planning to keep your personal liabilities efficient.

VAT Returns

VAT registration, scheme selection (flat rate, cash accounting, annual), advice on partial exemption, and ongoing return preparation under Making Tax Digital.

We help you understand when to register, when voluntary registration makes sense, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Bookkeeping

Cloud-based bookkeeping using Xero, QuickBooks or your preferred system. Bank reconciliations, supplier and customer ledger management, and accurate categorisation so you always know where you stand.

As a certified Xero Partner, we can help you migrate from spreadsheets or older systems with minimal disruption.

Payroll

End-to-end payroll processing for your team — payslips, PAYE, NI contributions, statutory pay (sick, maternity, paternity), pensions auto-enrolment, year-end P60s and P11Ds.

Real-time submissions to HMRC and full RTI compliance, all handled monthly so you never miss a deadline.

Advisory & Growth

Going beyond
compliance

This is where we go beyond traditional accounting. We help you understand your numbers and use them to drive better decisions and business performance.

Management Reporting

Monthly or quarterly management reports with the metrics that matter to your business — revenue trends, gross and net margins, KPIs, cash position and budget vs actual.

We take the time to walk you through them, so you actually understand and can act on what the numbers are telling you.

Cash Flow Forecasting

Forward-looking cash flow forecasts so you can plan investment, manage working capital, and avoid surprises. We model best-case, worst-case and realistic scenarios.

Especially valuable for growing businesses or those navigating seasonal trade.

Business Performance Analysis

Deep-dive analysis of your business performance — identifying which products, customers or activities drive profit, where costs are creeping up, and where opportunities lie.

Brings the kind of insight typically only available in-house at large companies.

Strategic Support

Sounding-board support on the big decisions: pricing, expansion, hiring, raising finance, restructuring, exit planning. We bring the financial perspective so you can make confident calls.

Available on a project basis or as part of an ongoing advisory relationship.

Process Improvement

Helping streamline your finance processes — automating manual tasks, integrating systems, improving controls and reducing admin time.

Drawing on our background leading large-scale finance transformations at EG Group.
