Est. 1997

Stone Osmond Accountants is a 2 partner firm based in Chandlers Ford with a knowledgeable team of staff.

Accounting

Continuing staff training and development ensures they are up to date with the ever-changing legislation.

Our diverse knowledge allows us to serve a wide variety of clients in commerce and industry, as well as enabling us to give expert advice to individual clients.

We strive to provide a friendly and professional service to help your business achieve its full potential. We encourage our clients to ask questions about their accounts and business and always aim to give practical advice to help them reach their goals.

VAT

Compliance with VAT legislation can be complex and it is important that returns are completed correctly to avoid costly penalties or inspections from HMRC.

We can help you by providing advice and guidance on registration, planning and administration, compliance with MTD and submission of returns. We can help with the selection of suitable accounting software and help with training

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping can be overwhelming, with so much information to record and maintain.

We can take the stress away by providing monthly or quarterly bookkeeping services. This ensures that your records are always up to date and complete and means we can also provide you with valuable insights into how the business is doing.

With a move to online record keeping due to HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements we are able to assist you with complying with this by either completing bookkeeping on your behalf or providing support and training on how to use the software.

Tax

Many people, especially those who are filing a return for the first time, find that self-assessment is a daunting and time-consuming task. We ensure that your tax return is filed correctly and on time so that you do not incur any penalties. We will make all the tax calculations for you and advise you on your liabilities and how to plan for them.

Our experts will also advise you on ways to reduce the tax you owe. Simple steps can save you a lot of money when you have the right know-how at your finger-tips.

Our tax services include:

Self-assessment
Trusts, estates and inheritance tax
Tax planning
HMRC enquiries and investigations
Tax investigation fees and insurance

We also offer tax investigation insurance to cover you in the event of a tax enquiry from HMRC. This valuable cover ensures that our fees are met by the insurer rather than you. As HMRC enquiries can be both expensive and time consuming this is a very worthwhile service.

Management Advice

As a result of having advised a diverse client base over the years, we can offer practical advice to help you achieve your business and personal goals. We appreciate that no plan can be “set in stone” and will always seek to adapt to your personal circumstances.

Audit

An audit is an expression of the accuracy of your accounting information. External audits provide valuable information to help you run your business successfully, we are a Registered Statutory Auditor and pride ourselves on the quality of our work.

As well as reviewing your financial records, we develop a deep understanding of your business and how it operates so that we can provide a comprehensive appraisal. Through this understanding and audit insights, we are able to provide improvements and recommendations to help drive your business forward.

We are registered to carry out audit work in the UK and Ireland and regulated by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Payroll

Payroll can be a time consuming and daunting task, diverting resources from your core business activities.

We can provide a timely and flexible service tailored to your business’s needs, giving you peace of mind that you are compliant with the ever-increasing legislation.

Our payroll services include:

Setting up a new payroll system
Employee payslips
Dealing with leavers and starters
Submission of Real Time Information (RTI) PAYE returns to HMRC

We also offer a company formation service, which can be “same day” if required.
