Audit is an important requirement that is needed to review and assess the accounts and records of a business.
We understand that is it important to have clear and detailed reports from an independent team, which is where Clarke & Co come in. Our audit approach focuses on enhancing value by taking time to understand your business, assessing the efficiency, accuracy and robustness of accounting systems, identifying problem areas and providing meaningful recommendations.
In addition to normal corporate audits, we also undertake more specialised audit type assignments, e.g. solicitors, estate agents, charities, and service charge accounts.
We provide audit in order to ensure that they are accurate and in keeping with legislation but, importantly, providing a clear picture of a businesses financial situation on the accounts date. This can provide valuable insight, along with reassurance to prospective clients who may want to work with you.
Our tax services make sure that your tax liability is calculated taking into account all allowed exemptions and deductions. We simplify the process by using accountancy software to accurately complete tax returns and calculate any tax liability that may occur, along with any payments that need to be made.
Corporation tax reliefs and rates change annually, so we ensure that we can provide all the right guidance and advice when looking at exemptions, allowances and deductions that may be available.
We will thoroughly review and prepare corporation tax returns in great detail in order to ensure you are complaint and that you don’t incur any penalties.
You may be looking at investments, a second property or another asset and our team can make sure you maximise your exemptions while simplifying the difficult area of capital gains tax.
