Derbyshire

Derbyshire & Co is a long-established firm of accountants who pride themselves on the personal touch. Established in April 1999, we have recently celebrated our 20-year anniversary. Situated in the North West, with nearby links to Junction 27 of the M6 and major main roads, our location is not an issue, as the work can be carried out by post, internet, or telephone. We have ample car parking as we are outside of the town centre.

Our qualified staff are available to deal with your day-to-day queries and to assist with all of your accountancy and taxation needs. Every business needs advice and support at some time, and we pride ourselves on plain speaking and being approachable and available when you need us. Our aim is to ensure that you do not feel overwhelmed by the countless rules and regulations that a small business encounters on a daily basis.

Our Services

At Derbyshire & Co, we offer a comprehensive range of services to help you run your business efficiently and effectively. Whether you're a new start-up or an established business, we can tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

Book Keeping

Book keeping and record keeping are an essential part of running your business, especially in light of the planned business records checks by the revenue. We can advise you on the best way to keep your books or, if you wish, we can do it for you. We tailor our services to your needs and requirements.

VAT

We can assist and advise you with the initial registration and can prepare and submit VAT returns on your behalf. With all VAT returns required to be submitted online, as your agent, we can submit the returns for you, even if you do your own book keeping. Just give us the figures, and we'll do the rest.

Payroll

Our dedicated payroll team will ensure that your payroll is on time, accurate, and in line with your requirements. We will also ensure that you comply with HMRC legislation. We now use an employer/employee portal to satisfy GDPR regulations. Payslips for employees are placed on a secure portal accessible to the employer. Employees gain access to their own payslip/P60s via logging on and using their own secure password. There is a small quarterly charge for this service depending on the number of employees. Please contact us for a quote.

Accounts

Whether you're a limited company, partnership, sole trader, or just receive rental income, you can rest assured that we have the up-to-date training and expertise to handle your affairs. We can assist you in ensuring you are trading through the business structure that best suits your needs for tax efficiency. If you decide to trade through a limited company, we can set it up for you, complete all of the statutory forms, and registrations for a flat fee.

Tax & Tax Planning

When it comes to paying tax, everyone would like to pay as little as possible. We can help you to ensure you claim for all allowable business expenditure, some obvious, some not so obvious, but all legal. We will ensure you pay the correct rate of tax and can plan in advance to ensure your business is tax-efficient.

Income tax

We can ensure your tax calculation is in line with your tax return and reduce your payments on account where appropriate. We want to make sure you pay only the tax that is due. We can ensure you maximise dividends to use up your basic rate band whilst not incurring further tax charges.

Corporation tax

We can ensure the corporation tax demand is in line with the return submitted and that all allowances have been claimed.

Capital gains tax

We can advise you on the best way to use up your annual allowance and to dispose of assets.

Inheritance Tax

Most people will never pay inheritance tax but are unaware of this. We can discuss your personal circumstances with you and assist in planning for the future to the tax to a minimum.

Tax returns

"Tax doesn't need to be taxing" says HMRC but unfortunately, it is, and very punitive. We can prepare and submit your tax return online and aim to ensure you do not suffer late submission penalties and fines.

Business Support

Big or small, sometimes you want to talk something through with someone who can offer sound business advice. There is always someone available to take your call and take the time to discuss your concerns.

Business plans

If you are starting out in business and need finance or to apply for grants, the chances are you will need a business plan. We can assist in preparing the report, cash flow forecast, and profit projections needed to compile the business plan.

Company formations

If a company is the right way for you to trade, we can assist with setting up the company, completing Company House statutory forms, completing the statutory returns, and registering the company for VAT and other necessary registers.
