Accountancy and tax returns are a necessary evil. Every year business owners have a legal requirement to prepare accounts, submit tax returns and file various forms. Our job is to help and support you so it doesn’t feel like pulling teeth. We take the pain and hassle out of it – and minimise your tax bill as we do so!
Our core service is helping business owners satisfy their legal requirements and our annual quotation includes everything that is needed to do this. We also provide all the usual accountancy support services such as bookkeeping, PAYE for employees, and preparing quarterly VAT returns.
But these are just the mechanics of the job – all decent accountants can do these. The difference you’ll notice with AWA is the personal support for your business idea, a commitment to minimising your tax bill, and a friendly informal approach. We’re on your side in all of this.
We also offer a range of advice and guidance that small businesses usually can’t access from their accountants – either because they would be prohibitively expensive or because their accountants simply don’t have the knowledge. See our Management Services below.
