Q. What does the company do?
We help to make businesses more profitable and life less taxing. We stand alongside our clients and help them in all aspects of running their business, whether it be preparing VAT returns, bookkeeping issues, dealing with final statutory accounts, submitting company tax returns, payroll or personal tax returns. Throughout this process, we advise businesses on how to maximise their profits and pay the least amount of company or personal tax using all legitimate means.
Q. What were you doing before becoming your own boss?
I worked for an international tax practice before joining a small partnership as partner designate. Three years after becoming a partner there I set up my own business as I was fed up doing all the work for the senior partner who insisted on taking the lion's share of the profits and retaining control.
Q. What are your plans for the business for 2009?
To continue our growth and to continue improving our internal systems so that we deliver quality service and advice to our clients each and every time, no matter how big or small our client is, and offer extremely good value for money.
Q. What one tax advice or tip would you give to those thinking of starting their own business?
Get the structure right at the outset as this can save a huge amount of tax. For example, to trade as limited company, rather than as a sole trader, and pay low salary and high dividends can save £2,368 of tax.
Q. What is the one thing you cannot live without?
My children
