Cambridge University Law Society are very happy with the services from Braant Accountants. They responded within maximum a couple of hours to every query, most responses were within the hour. Given how close to Christmas we contacted Braant, they were very willing to take on our work and complete it before New Years! In particular, Paul was extremely organised, and Paul even rang me for an hour on Christmas Eve to discuss the account – showing the commitment Braant have to helping their clients. The firm is very friendly and professional – could not recommend them more!

Our Accounting Services Explained
Business Tax Advice
An important part of running a business is benefitting from good tax advice, planned in advance, from an accountant.
Working with your accountant throughout the year will ensure you are provided with regular reporting of your company’s performance, providing you with a good understanding of cash flow, profitability, productivity, debtors, creditors, to mention a few.
They will ensure your company has the right classification and accurate records are maintained. They will manage your company payroll and separate business and personal expenses as they will know what can be claimed against tax.
Accounts & Corporation Tax
Engaging a company accountant can be beneficial when completing tax filings as their role is to ensure your company is calculating and paying the correct amount for Corporation Tax.
Paperwork for both the company accounts and corporation tax usually cover the same period. It is important that both are completed accurately and filed on time to avoid any financial penalties.
The Company Tax Return (CT600) is completed for Corporation Tax and is submitted to H. M Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and is calculated after net profit, whilst the company’s accounts must be sent to Companies House. Both are required at the end of the financial year to show how a company has performed over the accounting period.
VAT Services
If you have a Limited Company and it’s registered for VAT with HMRC, it is essential that a VAT return is submitted at the agreed frequency, often annually or quarterly.
You can submit the VAT return yourself, but instead is prudent to use an experienced accountant who will ensure the return is completed accurately and submitted in good time.
We can advise you on all aspects of VAT and MTD. We can explain the benefits of becoming VAT registered if your annual revenue falls below the VAT threshold and consider which VAT scheme will benefit your business.
Importantly, if your company is VAT registered, with the support from your accountant you can reclaim VAT on goods and services your company has purchased, and back date the claim if necessary. Timing in registering for VAT is critical and if not planned well, can be very costly in unclaimed VAT.
Payroll
Payroll involves intricate calculations including items such as gross wages, net wages, SSP, student loans, bonuses, commissions, PAYE tax and National Insurance deductions.
Accurate payroll is important as it closely monitors staff income, NI, PAYE, benefits, pension contributions etc to ensure the company complies with employment and tax legislation.
Our Payroll team at Braant are experienced in maintaining payroll for all sizes of companies including recruitment agencies for temporary workers.
Bookkeeping
Accurate and timely bookkeeping is the foundation for any company. Engaging a good bookkeeper to maintain and update the books on a regular basis, often monthly, helps in providing regular and timely reports and assists at VAT quarter end in preparing and filing the VAT return.
It also eases the year-end process as the books have already been updated throughout the year.
The accountants at Braant are highly experienced and work with over 1,000 companies of all size and requirements. They use a wide variety of software systems so they can effectively analyse the books and management accounts to provide you with insight on your company’s performance.
Braant offers you on-site and off-site bookkeeping or a mixture of both to meet your company’s specific needs.
Benefits of letting us file your tax return
Filing tax returns is both time consuming and stressful, especially when you are trying to run a company. The more complex your tax return, the more necessary it is to have a good accountant by your side.
Engaging an accountant to file your tax return brings benefits, such as filing your tax return in good time to avoid penalties and interest.
You may be able to save or defer your tax as accountants specialise in checking, analysing and preparing business financial records. They also ensure that the business is operating within all laws and regulations and that the accounts are completed as per the HMRC guidelines.
The accountants at Braant are keen to help you file your tax returns and will want to see your company grow. They will provide sound financial advice and guidance to help you achieve your goals and be able to offer solutions that are based on their wealth of experience.
Building a relationship with a good accountant from Braant is a win-win solution.
