Your year-end accounts shouldn’t feel like a mystery

Company Accounts

For a lot of business owners, year-end accounts are something they know they need, but don’t always feel especially connected to.

Come and talk to us

GTA took the time to sit down with us, listen and really get to know our business. Their professionalism, attention to detail and integrity gave us confidence, while their friendly, approachable nature made the whole experience feel easy. They took the time to understand our working environment, fitted in naturally with our team and made everyone feel at ease. It’s refreshing to work with accountants who understand the realities of running a business and make you feel comfortable having an open, honest conversation.

Your accounts shouldn’t disappear into a black hole

We’re always surprised by how many new clients tell us the same story.

Their previous accountant left everything until the deadline, they rarely knew what was happening, or their accounts were being worked on by people they had never spoken to.

That isn’t how we work.

Your accounts are handled by our team here at GTA. You know who you’re speaking to, you know who is looking after your business and you can ask questions throughout the process.

We don’t send your accounts overseas to an anonymous outsourced team, and we don’t wait until the deadline is looming before we start thinking about them.

We’ll make the numbers make sense

We’ll prepare your annual accounts, make sure everything is where it needs to be and deal with the filing requirements for you.

More importantly, we’ll talk you through the figures in plain English.

That might include:

How the business performed over the year

What changed compared with the previous year

What your profit position means

Whether there are any areas worth keeping an eye on

Anything that could affect your tax position

What the numbers are telling us about the direction of the business

You don’t need to understand every accounting term.

You do need to understand your own business.

That’s the bit we care about.

More Than a Legal Requirement

Company accounts are a legal requirement, but they are also one of the clearest opportunities we have to stop and look at what is happening in your business.

What changed this year?

Where did the profit go?

What is working?

What is costing you more than it should?

What are you planning next?

That is the conversation we want to have.

We look at the business behind the numbers

A set of accounts only tells part of the story.

We want to understand how the business works, what has changed over the year and what you are trying to achieve next.

That context matters.

A drop in profit might be a concern, or it might be because you invested heavily in equipment, took on new staff or spent money preparing for growth.

So rather than simply handing over a set of accounts, we’ll have a proper conversation about what they are showing us.

The figures mean more when you understand what sits behind them.

Your accounts are finished. What next?

Once everything is complete, we won’t just send the accounts over and disappear.

We’ll make sure you understand the important bits, answer your questions and talk through anything that may affect the year ahead.

Sometimes there will be nothing dramatic to change.

Sometimes the numbers will highlight something worth looking at more closely.

Either way, you’ll know where you stand.
