OUR ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Accountancy Support That Works for You

Every business has different financial responsibilities. A sole trader preparing their annual tax return will need a different level of support from a limited company managing payroll, VAT and year-end accounts.

We take the time to understand your circumstances before recommending the accountancy services that are right for you.

From keeping financial records organised to managing HMRC submissions, our team helps you stay on top of your responsibilities while giving you more time to focus on your business.

Year-End Accounts

Accurate year-end accounts are an important part of managing a limited company. We prepare annual accounts, support your Companies House and HMRC reporting requirements, and help you understand what your financial results mean for your business.

Tax Returns

Whether you are self-employed, a company director, a landlord or an individual with additional income, we can help prepare and submit your tax return. Our team will review the relevant information, explain your tax position and help you meet the appropriate deadlines.

VAT Returns

From VAT registration to preparing and submitting returns, we help businesses manage their VAT responsibilities. Our team can also support digital record keeping and Making Tax Digital requirements for VAT-registered businesses.

Payroll

Managing employee payments, deductions and HMRC reporting takes time and care. Our payroll services support businesses with regular pay runs, payslips, PAYE reporting and workplace pension administration.

CIS Accounting

Working under the Construction Industry Scheme brings additional responsibilities for contractors and subcontractors. Our CIS accountants can help with deductions, monthly returns, record keeping and tax obligations, giving you greater confidence that your CIS affairs are being managed correctly.

Bookkeeping

Good financial records make it easier to understand your business and prepare for tax deadlines. Our bookkeeping services help you keep track of income, expenses and transactions, with organised records that support your wider accounting responsibilities.

Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is changing how qualifying sole traders and landlords maintain records and report information to HMRC. We can help you understand the requirements, choose suitable software and manage your digital records and submissions.

Capital Gains Tax

Selling a property, disposing of an investment or transferring certain assets can create Capital Gains Tax responsibilities. We can help you understand the potential tax implications, review available reliefs and meet your reporting obligations.

SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Accounting Services for Small Businesses

Running a small business involves much more than delivering your products or services. You also need to keep accurate financial records, understand your tax obligations, manage expenses and make decisions about the future.

At Findlay Todd, we help small business owners across the North East and beyond stay organised and maintain a clearer picture of their finances.

Whether you are starting a business, working as a sole trader or managing an established limited company, we can provide a combination of accounting services suited to your requirements.

For some businesses, that might mean help with an annual tax return. For others, it could involve ongoing bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts.

We will discuss how your business operates, explain the services available and agree on the support you need.

CIS Tax for Subcontractors
SPECIALIST ACCOUNTING SUPPORT

CIS Accountants for Contractors and Subcontractors

Construction businesses face accounting responsibilities that can be different from those of other industries. The Construction Industry Scheme introduces additional requirements for deductions, payment records and HMRC reporting.

At Findlay Todd, we provide CIS accounting services for contractors and subcontractors who need practical help managing these responsibilities.

For contractors, we can assist with subcontractor verification, CIS deductions, monthly returns and record keeping.

For subcontractors, we can help with recording deductions suffered, preparing tax returns and keeping track of business income and expenses.

We also support construction businesses with bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts, helping bring their accounting requirements together.

If you work in construction and are unsure whether your records or CIS returns are being handled correctly, speak to our team.

Findlay Todd have looked after my business for a number of years now and I have always found them to provide a first class service. With prompt responses to queries and clear timelines given for work to be undertaken, their level of service exceeds that which you would expect from a busy accountants ( and I have had plenty of dealings with other accountants over the years). I am more than happy to recommend their services to people who want a real world approach to accounting.

I came across Findlay Todd through a Google search. I contacted them with a query regarding eligilibity for Seafarer's Earnings Deduction (SED). Daniel replied promptly and provided the help I was looking for in a way that made me feel reassured that I was communicating with someone who knows well their trade. Having contacted other accountants, Findlay Todd's replies to my emails have felt like a breath of fresh air. I will definitely consider using their personal tax return services in the future!
