Accounting Services in Essex, the Home Counties and London

Our principal, Keith Spencer FCA, has been a Chartered Accountant since 1984 and has over 20 years experience working with and for owner managed Limited Companies, sole traders, self employed contractors and other small to medium sized enterprises (SME’s). Really anything from £30k to £10 million per annum turnover. £irst call accounting therefore has a good understanding of the way these businesses operate, and the pressures on them;

	too much form filling / red tape,
	lack of in - house expert knowledge,
	shortage of resources, including cash,
	and inability to keep up to date with changes in Government laws and regulations

That’s why £irst call accounting is here, providing Accounting Services in Essex. You get on with running and developing your business and we provide the financial data and information that lets you know you are on course, and are making informed decisions.

So many entrepreneurs find themselves working “in the business” rather than “on the business”. Give yourself a break, let £irst call accounting be your financial controller, accounts team, and business planner.

If you have an office administrator who is organised, we can work with them either in your office or ours to deliver you accurate and timely numbers, including Management Accounts, forecasts, budgets and other reports. If you don’t have that person, no matter, we have other solutions.

What headache tasks does your business have, that give you less time for doing more important things? Think about;

	Financial Accounts production for submission to Companies House & the tax office
	Management accounts
	Bookkeeping that doesn’t generate any useful numbers because of out of date, expensive and too complicated software. (Why spend money on accounting software and support when you could use ours instead?)
	VAT returns
	Payroll, including all the year – end forms (P35, P11d’s, P60’s)
	Company Secretarial work (more forms)
	Annual Budgets that allow you to monitor performance against a plan.
	Performance Forecasts
	Cash management, forecasting and Credit control
	Business turnaround
	Tax planning (when did you last do that?)

Did you go into business to do these things?

So don’t do them now!

Even for the things that are less of a headache, and require your input, it’s good to have someone to give a second opinion and question or test your assumptions. Business planning, capital expenditure appraisal and investment analysis are things that come to mind.

Our solution to all the above is simple.
