A&Z Accounting Services

Run by chartered certified accountants in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, A&Z Accounting Services keeps its focus on small enterprises. The firm says it has worked with a wide range of businesses in Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield since 2006, from limited companies to sole traders, and that every client, whatever its size, receives a personal service.

Tax returns for individuals and companies

Annual tax returns for individuals and for companies are the core of the work. The firm says its aim is to keep things simple for the client and to reduce the tax paid where that is possible within the tax regulations. Because its clients often find it hard to deal with paperwork during the working day, it arranges its work around each client's own timetable.

Accounts and management reporting

The firm prepares year-end accounts and management accounts, with monthly or quarterly reports that track a business's performance, highlight trends and point to opportunities for growth. It presents these reports as clear, timely financial insight that helps owners make informed decisions about the business.

Payroll, VAT and company formation

Payroll is run from salary calculations and payslips through to HMRC submissions and pension contributions. The firm also prepares VAT returns and sets up new companies, and it describes its payroll service as designed so that staff are paid correctly and on time.

Sage specialist support

The practice is a Sage specialist, which allows it to help clients get more from their Sage accounting software. It says this can reduce what a client spends on Sage support, and it works with the software directly rather than only through bookkeeping.

Plain English and fitting around the client

A central part of the practice's approach is explaining what it is doing and why, in plain English, for clients who are not professional accountants. It fits its service around what a client wants to keep in house, so that a client can save money on the tasks it can do itself while the firm handles the rest.

Bookkeeping cover and continuity

The firm can take over bookkeeping for a business and stand in for a client's own bookkeeper when that person is away. It presents this continuity as one reason clients stay with it, and it keeps its own staff and systems ready to deliver a consistent level of service.
