Staff always want to be paid exactly the right amount of money, and on time. But payroll is surprisingly complex and the rules change quickly. The last few years have seen the process transformed through innovations such as RTI and auto enrolment, and it is difficult for a business owner to keep on top of the latest legislation. When you consider all the tax changes, sick pay, maternity pay and other unexpected issues that may crop up on a weekly or monthly basis, it makes sense to let experts handle it for you.

This is where we come in. Our payroll services are fast, efficient and cost-effective. We have a wealth of experience in running payroll for all circumstances, from paying a single employee once a month to paying over a hundred staff on a weekly basis.

We can provide the following payroll services:

•  Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly payslips to all staff by email attachment.
•  A full auto enrolment service, including pension upload to your provider.
• Full Payment Submission (FPS) to HMRC.
• Calculation of your monthly or quarterly PAYE/NIC liability to HMRC.
• Monitoring of staff holidays and sickness.
• Accurate deduction or payment of sickness and maternity benefits in line with Government legislation and company contracts.
• Student loan payments.
• Completion of payroll year-end routines and reporting.
• Summary reports for bookkeeping.

Your business will inevitably find itself in a position where customers will either forget to pay you for their services or find they don’t have the money to do so. Many business owners find it difficult to ask their debtors for payment, particularly if they have to remind them more than once. There’s often a worry about negatively affecting existing relationships with customers – no one wants to hassle – but on the other hand, you need the money. You provided the service. You deserve to be paid.

This is where we come in. We offer credit control services for all types of business. Using our knowledge and experience, we follow up outstanding invoices and secure their payment to give you more time to look after your business.

Our methods include:

• Using email, letters or telephone calls to contact debtors and ensure payment of outstanding invoices.
• Building good relationships with potential debtors to enable quick and easy debt collection. This enables us to advise on payment plans that will allow all parties to continue trading.
• Ensuring we work closely with our clients to provide advice on whether a debt is unlikely to be settled or if further action is required.
• Keeping records of all communication with customers, so there is a clear audit trail in the unfortunate event of payment problems that require legal proceedings.
• Working with collection agencies to ensure there are no problems with tackling a debt issue.

Our monthly fees are competitive, and clients will often add our credit control services to our monthly bookkeeping service. Our fees include all meetings, phone calls and emails, so when you talk to us, you will never feel like you’re on the clock.

It’s so important to keep a close eye on how your business is going. Are you making the progress you want? Is your profitability where it should be? Unfortunately, the reports that allow you to understand this can be both complex and onerous to produce. So why not let us handle them for you?

We can provide accurate, up-to-date weekly, monthly or quarterly management reports. These are supplemented with face-to-face meetings to explain the progress of your business in detail, and we offer impartial advice on how to maximise your profits going forward, based on the information contained within the reporting.

Our fees for management reporting are competitive and can be included within an overall monthly charge for your general bookkeeping. They include all meetings, phone calls and emails, so when you talk to us, you will never feel like you’re on the clock.

Starting a business can seem overwhelming, what with the dizzying range of statutory requirements and administration, not to mention having to keep track of and understand all the deadlines. We’ve been through the process ourselves and know what it’s like. Maybe you’re considering switching from being a sole trader to a Limited Company and aren’t sure whether it would be the best thing for your business.

Whatever your circumstances, we can help you through the process of incorporation. From the earliest advice on what status would be most appropriate for you, to completing the relevant forms accurately and liaising with Companies House, we make the process as quick and painless as possible. We even offer aftercare once incorporation has been completed.

“My business partner and I walked in to Linden Accountants after just starting up our own business – we didn’t have a clue in the world about how to even begin managing our book-keeping/accounts/HMRC etc etc. But this was no issue because to our luck, David is an incredibly patient, helpful, honest and humorously charismatic accountant! He has given us so much of his time and taught us an incredible amount (and continues to do so!). He has gone beyond his call of duty and helped us with our financial forecasting, understanding shares, understanding the tax system and loads more! The whole team are lovely and we always feel at home when we visit the office! With fond regards, and highest recommendations, Tess ”

“Here at Bristol Community Ferryboats we love Linden Accountants. They are a lovely team who are totally professional, I trust them totally. They are always friendly and approachable and on hand to give advice or answer queries. Nothing is too much bother. I feel that our finances are in very safe hands and they are part of the Ferry Family!”

“The team at Linden Accountants have been an important part of my work since I first started as a sole trader many years ago – helping me with invoices, expenses and everything in between. When me and my business partner took the plunge into starting a Limited Company, David at Linden Accountants provided a huge amount of support and advice to help us to understand the many complexities of tax, shares and other accounting best practices. Now that we’ve settled into the day-to-day running of a business, the ongoing support they provide with VAT, pension obligations and payroll is immeasurably valuable.

It’s safe to say their guidance and accounting proficiency has had a massive impact on our business practices, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to sole traders and businesses alike!”
