Our Services

Preparation of year end certified accounts

The Guernsey Tax Law requires all companies to produce and submit Certified Accounts.

Please phone or pop in to the office to find out more information.

Preparation of interim management accounts

We are very aware that each of our customers has a unique set of requirements.

We will work in partnership with you and compliment the skills that you and your company already possess.

You can do as much or as little work as you want and we will do the rest.

We will discuss your full requirements before entering into any agreement so that the needs of your company are met.

We are able to perform monthly / quarterly checks to ensure that your accounting records are up to date and accurate. From these figures we will produce management reports and discuss these with you, explaining fully anything that you are unsure of.

We will discuss your figures with you as often as you feel is necessary, although if there are business issues that arise we will highlight these in a timely manner for you.

Being able to provide hands on practical business advice will help you to streamline your accounts process and the way that you use your company information.

Bookkeeping services

We are able to offer you a first class book keeping service that is tailored to your business needs.

Whether you require on-going support on a monthly or quarterly basis, or whether you need some short term help to get you back on track, we will work with you to find the best solution.

We will discuss your requirements and then define a course of action that will work for you.

You may choose to enter the sales invoices yourself, or you may want to leave it all to us.

We will process the accounting entries in partnership with you. We will enter the cash received and payments made and then reconcile the bank accounts.

We will highlight and raise any questions or queries as we go, so that the year end process has as few points as possible that require attention.

You do not have to appoint us as accountants in order to receive the benefits of our book keeping service, however in most cases it would be more cost effective should you wish us to also prepare your year end financial statements.

Business start up service

Many people incorrectly think that using a professional service provider like an accountant or a tax specialist must be complicated to set up.

In fact the process is quite simple and we will give you help along the way should you need it.

If you are interested in any of our services:

• Contact our office so we can arrange a free interview to find out what you really need.
• We will then provide you with a free no obligation quotation.
• If you decide to use our services you need to formally accept the quotation.
• We will send you a standard engagement letter and tax authority letter.

 

If you are interested in any of our accounting services and currently have an accountant, you will need to write a letter formally confirming that you will be transferring to Brehon.

If this is required we will let you know at the interview stage. We are also able to help you with the wording of the letter in order to make the handover of information as smooth as possible.

Cashflow analysis

Cash is the oxygen that enables a business to prosper and without cash, it will die. So cash in and out need careful monitoring and management.

We offer a professional service to periodically perform cash flow analysis. This can then be used to help management make key business decisions.

Cash flow forecasting will provide you with essential business information that can be used in many ways, including:

• Use the forecast to help spot problems, for instance, poor credit control.
• Avoid the problems of over trading (where an imbalance occurs between the work a business takes on and the capacity to actually do that work).
• Use your cash flow forecast as a business tool by seeing when problems are likely to occur and so enabling you to sort them out in advance.
• Helping seasonal businesses manage their unique cash flows.
• By managing cash flow effectively a business can establish a contingency plan.

 

We will work with you to find out your cash flow forecast needs and implement a strategy to suit your business.

For more information and a free initial consultation please contact Sarah Hancock.

Payroll services

Payroll is a key function within any organisation.

It is important to pay your staff promptly and pay them correctly.

We can help take some of the strain by processing your weekly or monthly payroll. We will discuss your requirements in order to find out what you really need.

It may be that you want us to take control of all the main aspects of the payroll function, or you may want us to act as a back up service to provide cover for periods of absence or holiday.

Whatever your requirements, we will work with you in order to tailor the service to your business.

Please contact the office to arrange a free initial consultation where we will be happy to talk through your payroll requirements.
