What we do

  1. 01
    Accounting

    Most accountants tell you what happened last year. Whitakers can tell you what happened last week — or project forward into next year. We build a personal, in-depth understanding of your business so we can recommend the right accounting solutions, not just the standard ones.

    • Management accounting and bookkeeping
    • Cashflow and profit forecasts
    • PAYE administration and compliance
    • VAT compliance and advisory
    • Reports prepared on your behalf, or we can teach you to prepare them yourself

    • Personal tax and self assessment returns
    • Corporate tax compliance and advisory
    • Inheritance Tax planning and advice
    • Capital Gains Tax compliance and advisory

    Keeping your company compliant with the Companies Act is an ongoing obligation. We handle the administrative burden so you can focus on running the business.

    • Preparation and filing of statutory returns
    • Company formations
    • Maintenance of statutory books, minutes and resolutions
    • Company searches
