About 525 Accountancy Services

Bookkeeping and year-end accounts for Glasgow businesses

525 Accountancy Services is an accountancy practice serving businesses and individuals in the Glasgow area. It describes itself as a firm that offers bookkeeping, accounts and tax work, along with payroll, health checks, company secretarial work and support for start-ups. The firm says it works with new ventures, established businesses and people who manage their own finances.

Bookkeeping that holds up to scrutiny

The bookkeeping service is built around keeping records in order and setting up systems that can stand up to a review by HM Revenue and Customs. The firm says accurate accounts matter both for monitoring a business and for meeting statutory requirements, and it offers to take the preparation of accounts off a business's hands so that its owners can focus on running it.

Annual accounts and filing

The firm prepares annual financial statements and makes sure that a business meets its Companies House filing deadlines and its HMRC tax filing deadlines. It also handles statutory forms, the administration of PAYE and National Insurance, and staff cost summaries. The firm also prepares annual budgets, financial projections and performance forecasts, which it says are often needed by funders, and it presents key performance indicator reporting as part of the same service.

How engagements start

Each engagement starts with a meeting to understand the company and its needs. The firm then proposes a plan tailored to the business. It says it offers flexible support, so that a client can use help when needed rather than committing to a fixed package. The practice says it puts personal service alongside technical knowledge.

Advice and support

Beyond the routine work, the firm offers proactive advice on tax and compliance and practical support for payroll. It says its aim is to give clients the confidence to make better decisions and to achieve their goals, and it describes its clients as people who choose the firm because of the combination of technical expertise and a personal approach.
