Hilary can help anyone who requires a personal tax return completing – property owners, sole traders or company directors.

Professional help is vital before starting a business. Should you be a sole trader or a limited company? Hilary outlines the pros and cons for clients to make the situation clearer and can help with all the relevant HMRC paperwork.

By getting to know her clients and their business, Hilary can devise the most tax-efficient ways of extracting money from the business, ensuring all relevant expenses are being claimed to off-set tax liability.

If you have employees or are a company director just needing payroll for yourself, Hilary can ensure you’re fully compliant with HMRC’s RTI (Real Time Information) requirements.

Hilary can prepare accounts for both sole traders and small limited companies. After putting together draft accounts, she will sit down with clients to discuss the financial status of the company, anything else that may have happened that’s relevant to the accounts, where the company is going in the current year and tax implications. She then processes any adjustments before arriving at a final tax figure.

Hilary works with business owners to create the easiest way of maintaining business records for compliance with HMRC minimum record-keeping requirements.

Hilary can prepare and submit your VAT returns for you, assist with VAT registration if needed and work out the best VAT scheme for you.

Limited companies have to submit both full company accounts, a Corporation Tax return digitally to HMRC and an abbreviated form of accounts to Companies House. Hilary monitors all deadlines and filing dates to avoid fines and penalties – working with you on the necessary information.

As an accredited trainer for Sage Cloud Accounting software, Hilary can train you to use as much or as little of the software as you wish.
