Virtual Finance Director
Often the combination of the Virtual FD and Executive Mentoring will combine to provide the necessary information and impetus to really push the business owner. The business will also benefit as both develop from the continual input of better reporting, goal setting and management effectiveness.
Usually the hardest part for a business owner is the assessment of their own skills, capabilities and deficiencies before they can move forward, the strategy session to map out the current and future plans and goals.
The benefits you can receive from the Virtual FD service include:
- Accurate and timely reporting of financial performance each month. You and your staff will know how the business is performing. You will be alerted to potential problems earlier, so will have time to make necessary changes.
- Budgeting and forecasting services leading to action plans to drive your business forward.
- Support as and when it is needed for you and your key staff to improve performance, whether by training, mentoring, or rapid feedback of results.
- Brookwood can handle your Sales Ledger and Purchase ledger function, providing you with regular updates of cash commitments and cash flows and dealing with credit control.
- More time for you to concentrate on the sales, marketing and operations of your business rather than being caught up in the routine finance function
- Improved credibility with your bankers as they will see that you have expertise and advice available on tap
- With Brookwood Cloud Accounting Solutions, you can access your accounts at any time, so you can be reassured that you are in control of your data
This level of service means we are flexible in our approach and tailor our services to match precisely your needs.
HMRC Enquiry Services
Full enquiries normally involve HMRC undertaking a detailed examination of all the business’ books and records. This may lead to enquiries also being opened into the personal tax affairs of the directors, unusual but not unheard of in certain cases. A full enquiry may also entail HMRC reviewing not only the corporation tax liability, but also any PAYE/NIC or VAT liabilities – this is becoming more common.
The defence of companies and directors subject to such enquiries and acting to ensure that the company and any affected directors only pay what is properly due is critical. Experience in these areas and an understanding of HMRC’s approach is essential to any successful defence.
Brookwood Accountancy deal with every aspect of the investigation including:
- Starting point – providing clarity and formulating a plan to deal with the investigation;
- handling all communications with HMRC;
- taking full control of the investigation to give you peace of mind;
- focusing on working towards the most efficient way to achieve the earliest possible closure of any tax investigation;
- preparing or reviewing HMRC calculations relevant to your tax affairs to determine any tax liability due as a result of the enquiry; and
- taking action to minimise interest and penalties.
Brookwood offer Fee Enquiry protection to ensure the costs of the enquiry can be minimised and if no tax or penalties arise, the cost is nil for the client.
