Accounting & Tax Report

We deliver accounting and taxation solutions for companies, partnerships and sole traders, spanning a wide variety of industries, including the not-for-profit sector. Our team produces annual accounts promptly, usually within two to three weeks, ensuring full compliance with regulatory bodies. We also handle management accounting, VAT returns and payroll, giving clients dependable financial oversight.

Cloud Accounting Report

We support businesses with cloud accounting solutions designed to streamline financial record keeping. Our approach makes it easier to generate essential reports for regulatory requirements, including VAT submissions. Year-end accounts can be prepared more efficiently and at reduced cost for accountants. We also help ensure businesses maintain clear and compliant records in line with legal obligations.

Company Secretarial Report

We provide Company Secretarial services supporting the efficient administration of limited companies. We advise on statutory obligations under the Companies Act and directors duties. Our support covers company formation, share structures, year-end selection, dividends, and compliance. We also maintain statutory records and handle Companies House filings and other required documentation.

Payroll Management Report

We provide a managed payroll service that simplifies payroll administration for businesses. Increasing legislative complexity, including tax credits, NIC adjustments and student loan deductions, creates compliance challenges. Outsourcing reduces training, software costs and administrative burden while improving accuracy and efficiency. We use automated systems to deliver timely payroll data, payslips and HMRC submissions.

Launching a new venture can be daunting, so we guide clients through a simple, structured 1-2-3 process. Our start-up service has already assisted hundreds of businesses in building the right foundations for growth. We focus on clear planning, essential registrations and the systems required to operate effectively. Every stage is designed to make the process manageable and well organised.

Tax Planning Report

We help clients manage business and personal tax matters through structured planning and ongoing support. Understanding your goals and how your business functions enables us to deliver efficient advice that protects wealth. With tax rules frequently changing and remaining complex, professional input is essential. We support compliance, succession, HMRC enquiries, capital gains tax, trust planning and fee protection cover.

Growth Planning Report

Our Growth Planning service is designed to support sustainable business development. We deliver detailed forecasting, business planning and financial analysis for informed decision-making. Monthly management accounts and variance reviews are prepared to monitor performance. Cash flow and working capital are assessed to ensure financial stability. We also evaluate investment choices, profit opportunities and potential restructuring needs.

I was recommended David and his team when i retired from corporate life and started a family business in 2012. David and the team helped set up the business and have been with us every step of the way. Jacob looks after all our day to day needs and explains everything i dont understand as running a business constantly changes with new rules also the payroll team have always been there for us as have the VAT team. I could not imagine business life without them.

Cannot praise the team at '10' highly enough. They have been simply outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, they answer queries and tax issues very quickly and effectively. At last a firm who truly understands business and somewhere you feel like a valued client and get great advice. They consistently excel at customer service. Cannot recommend highly enough.
