Accountancy
There’s a lot more to accountancy than just preparing a set of accounts, which is where we can help.
At Banks Chartered Accountants we offer a comprehensive package tailored to the needs of your business, so whether you are a sole trader or a large corporate we have the solution for you.
Accounts are more than simply a statutory requirement, they are a powerful business tool which, when used correctly, can help you spot important trends within your business, so you can make informed decisions and ensure your business performs at its best.
As well as annual accounts, we can prepare monthly or quarterly management accounts. From experience we know the benefit of understanding your financial position, without waiting for the year end, is immense. The first step in giving you the tools to monitor, manage and grow your business is to have up-to-date financial information.
Company Secretarial
We can assist with all company secretarial matters, such as providing your registered office and completing all statutory documentation, including appointing directors, stock transfers, and completion of annual returns. If you’re looking to incorporate your business we can arrange this for you and take on the burden of changing the structure of your organisation.

Auditing
Some limited companies, charities and clubs are legally obliged to have any audit carried out. But even if this doesn’t apply to your organisation, it can be a good idea to opt for a voluntary audit, as many businesses do.
The reason?
An Audit offers reassurance and gives confidence that your annual accounts provide a true reflection of the state of affairs within your company.
An audit can also provide an in-depth look into the procedures within your business and offer suggestions where changes could be made to maximise potential.
Audits also lend extra credibility to the figures within your accounts and provide additional confidence to lenders, creditors, shareholders, stockholders and any other third parties.

Taxation is complicated and these days a proactive approach is vital. We’ll work with you on your tax planning and our experienced taxation team is well-equipped to deal with a whole range of taxation issues.
Whether you are an individual looking for assistance with your self assessment tax return, are self-employed, in a partnership, or a director of a company we have the knowledge and skills to help you.
We provide expert assistance on personal tax, business tax, capital gains tax, VAT, and inheritance tax and, through careful planning, minimise your tax payments and maximise the money in your pocket. We can also provide tax planning to help you budget for any changes in your business or personal circumstances and give advance warning of future tax payments.

Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping can be time-consuming and is often a worry businesses could do without. We’ll take the strain from you with our bookkeeping service which not only allows you peace of mind, but also give you more time to do what you do best – run your business.
You will have a dedicated and expert member of our team who will deal with your bookkeeping issues and who will be happy to visit your premises, if you prefer, to carry out the work.
We charge standard bookkeeping rates, which if coupled with your annual accounts can actually be lower than employing your own bookkeeper or struggling yourself.
