Before Kings Oak took over the preparation of our company accounts, ensuring monthly management accounts & filing year end accounts ,on time, was just next to impossible. Since Kings Oak has come on board, I am now able to have real time information, to hand, which my business requires. Testimony to this was when Kings Oak filed our last year end accounts just a few weeks after year end! More over Mike has been readily accessible to offer advice on numerous occasions including complicated personal / company related tax issues. I am also kept up to date with any tax law changes. Moving my company over to Kings Oak has been my best business decision and I would not hesitate in recommending Kings Oak Accountancy to others requiring this outstanding service. More...

Mike has done a great job getting our company accounts into order. He recommended a much better accounts package and did a lot to make the transition as painless as possible.
I now have complete confidence in our financial records and the simple management accounts that he helped me set-up.
I was particularly happy when I moved house and he pulled out all the stops to complete our year end accounts quickly to support my mortgage application.
I am happy to recommend Mike to anyone who is running a small limited company and wants an accountant they can depend upon.

Following a price increase from our previous accountants we decided to seek a new accountant and we were recommended Kings Oak Accountancy Services by another very satisfied customer of their's. Our only regret is not using them years ago. They has just completed our year end accounts and it has reduced my stress and work load massively compared to previous years. It's a very friendly, personal service where they come to your place of work and use the systems you have in place. The work is completed very promptly and efficiently. They are also always available to ask advice (at no extra cost.) I would highly recommend them to anybody. Give Mike a call and I'm sure you will not be disappointed. More...

"I discovered Kings Oak Accountancy some five years ago, whilst working as a financial controller for a Bath based tour operator. I was pleasantly surprised to be quoted a figure that meant a 2/3rd saving over our existing Accountancy firm and so we moved to him.Since that time Mike has provided an excellent service, including proactive money saving advice.Anyone considering Kings Oak will undoubtably benefit from the same cost effective personal service provided by Kings Oak Accountancy." - Dave Swift - Swift Office Support Ltd More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Every company, large or little, needs to hire an accountant to protect the financial coherence of the firm. Many owners think that with the assistance of handy cloud based accountancy software , they can personally handle the accounting, and in all honesty, that is the biggest mistake an owner can make.
When business owners decide not to hire an accountant they are usually motivated by the savings they think they will achieve, but fact of the matter is a good accountant can be one of the most worthwhile investments made in the business, and in the end can actually end up saving the company money.
Hiring the right accountant can be a valuable asset to your business, no matter how small, and can provide many benefits at various stages of growth and development.
A great accountant will offer the flexibility needed to meet the needs of individual owners, whether it is on a full or part time basis, steering the business towards success and financial stability.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping small and medium sized businesses and individuals, succeed with day to day running, compliance, expansion and Interacting with owners and company contacts to enhance and develop their organisations.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to work with others to help move their businesses forward. I knew that I could offer the perspective, structure, support and guidance to maintain and move forward the financials of any small or medium sized firm. The launch of the firm that brought my strengths, experience and skills together to help others in the minefield with HMRC, reporting and compliance requirements, systems, whilst giving me a better work life balance than when working for a large firm.

Bookkeeping
Services include the provision of accurate and comprehensive small business book keeping services, tailored to your needs. If you still want to retain control of your book keeping, advice on an effective system can be provided, to ensure it remains one that you feel comfortable with, satisfies HMRC requirements and can easily be used to prepare your annual accounts.
In addition, many businesses like to keep track of their financial performance and position throughout the year and to help achieve this, management accounts can be prepared at regular intervals. It can be of particular benefit to have these coincide with your VAT quarter ends.
The first step is to work closely with you to gain a full understanding of your business, tailoring the approach to meet your exact requirements. The service always remains flexible and can be adapted as your circumstances change.
Free book-keeping computer software can be provided as required. Please contact us for more details.
We offer a free one hour initial consultation and fixed monthly charges so there are no surprises.
VAT
VAT is a complex area and requires accurate record keeping and prompt settlement of any liability on a quarterly or monthly basis. Once registered, you are legally responsible for making a correct VAT return and for payment of VAT on time. We can provide advice on the benefits of voluntary registration and the financial thresholds for statutory registration.
It can be advantageous for you to register voluntarily when your purchases include VAT and most of your customers are VAT registered so they can claim back the VAT you will need to add to your sales.
There are various schemes for smaller businesses designed to minimise the administrative burden and help improve cash flow and budgeting, such as the 'Flat Rate Scheme' and 'Cash Accounting Scheme'. Many small businesses also now trade across Europe and beyond with the associated requirement to file 'EC Sales List' (ECSL) returns with HMRC. We can help you register for ECSL and file the returns electronically for you.
We can provide free computer software that will calculate your VAT information as required. Please contact us for more details.
We offer a free one hour initial consultation and fixed monthly charges so there are no surprises.
Payroll
Administering your payroll can be time consuming and burdensome, diverting energy and resources from the core activities of your business. The task is made all the more difficult by the growing complexity of taxation and employment legislation and the accompanying regime of penalties for non-compliance.
We offer a comprehensive and confidential payroll service. It is available, including customised payslips, administration of PAYE, national insurance & statutory sick pay, completion of statutory forms including real time information and filing with HMRC.
We offer a free one hour initial consultation and fixed monthly charges so there are no surprises.
