All about
Barley Grove
At Barley Grove, we understand the motivations and challenges that face a start-up or SME enterprise. We thrive on providing our clients with a platform and full Business Management Support function so they can achieve their strategic goals.
Our services and experience will enable our clients to focus on what they are good at but also advising what drives value within their business. Regardless of the status of your business, whether you are exit planning or at the infancy stage of starting up, we understand the different priorities at each stage of that lifecycle.
Annual Accounts and Tax Returns
Preparing financial accounts for Limited Companies remains one of our main activities and their production is essential to ensure that our clients comply with legislation.
Business Management Support
We understand at Barley Grove that in a high proportion of SMEs it may not possible or necessary to employ a full time Financial Director with the experience and expertise required to help your business meet its objectives.
Management Accounts
Well managed companies do not rely on statutory accounts to run their business – the provision of timely and accurate management accounts is essential.
Business Start-up
If you are considering starting up your own business we can help. Bring us your business ideas and we’ll help you evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner. You may be confident with your business plan but it is always useful to get an independent view before taking it too far.
Bookkeeping
If your business needs some bookkeeping resource, or you simply need to free up some valuable time, our dedicated team carries out bookkeeping, either at your premises or ours.
Payroll
Running a payroll is a perfect example of a function that can absorb huge amounts of time for a small business. The introduction of Real Time Information (“RTI”) has just added to this already complex burden.
Construction Industry Scheme
CIS returns must be completed by contractors, on a monthly basis, to show sub-contractor payments. Contractors need to provide monthly payment and deduction statements to sub-contractors, to show the amount deducted.
Self Assessment
Ever more individuals find themselves having to complete Self Assessment forms in respect of their personal income. Barley Grove provide a service to ensure the correct completion of tax returns whilst maximising claims for allowances and reliefs.
Company Secretarial
The last thing you need as a busy business owner is to use up valuable time and resources making sure you are complying with the Companies Act.
Moreover, with company legislation changing at the rate it does, you need to be sure you are fully aware of how the changes affect you and your fellow directors.
