For many people
the accountant's services begin and end
with the annual tax return. The accountant
vanishes with your books for three or four
months to produce the year-end figures for
the taxman, sends you a disproportionate
bill, then hibernates until next year.
At Wagner Associates we believe we should
be available whenever you need us, not just
once a year. With the ever-changing legislation
and financial requirements placed on business
today it is vital that your accountant supports
your business with a full range of services,
designed to guide you through the financial
pitfalls.

Accounts Preparation:
Whether you complete your accounts manually
or on specialised accounts packages, Wagner Associates are happy to help and support you in maintaining
accurate records. Remember this is a legal
requirement with harsh penalties for non-compliance.
If you would like to upgrade your systems
to SAGE or other computer packages, Wagner Associates can advise on the best package for you and
provide assistance with installation, set-up
and maintenance. We can also offer training
on computerised accounts packages for you
and your staff.

VAT:
VAT registration can be a time consuming,
confusing and expensive exercise. However
for most businesses it is a fact of life.
If you have a turnover in excess of £58,000
in the last twelve months or in the next
thirty days, VAT registration almost certainly
applies to you. There may also be reasons
why VAT registration could benefit your
business even if your turnover does not
meet the threshold for compulsory registration.
Wagner Associates will advise you on your statutory obligations
and assist you in maintaining the necessary
records.

Management Accounts:
Having produced detailed accounts for the
Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise,
wouldn't it be nice if you could actually
get some benefit from all the work you have
done. The good news is you can benefit!
Wagner Associates can show you how to obtain detailed
Management Accounts from the figures produced,
valuable information about where your business
is financially; how it compares to last
year and how best to increase the profitability
over the year to come.

Payroll Bureau:
Nothing is more guaranteed to upset your
employees than getting their pay wrong.
Combine this with legislation for Sick Pay,
Maternity Pay, Stakeholder Pensions, Student
Loan repayments, Minimum Wage and changes
to Benefit in Kind rules and you could be
spending more time running your payroll
than running your business. Why not sit
back, relax and let Wagner Associates take the strain.
Our Payroll Bureau means we have expert
staff that will deal with all the regulations
& calculations for you. Giving you happy
staff and more time for you to run your
business.

Audit:
The audit is one of the most misunderstood
areas of accounting. Who needs one? What
does it do? What is the benefit? These are
all frequently asked questions. The short
answer is that any limited company with
an annual turnover in excess of £5,600,000
has a legal requirement to have an annual
audit carried out. The longer answer depends
on your circumstances but audit could, for
example, be of benefit for companies trying
to raise capital or trying to accurately
establish their trading position. If you
need help, just ask. Wagner Associates will provide simple,
straightforward advice. Wagner Associates have developed
close relationships with a number of local
auditors.

Business Start-Ups,
funding and cashflow solutions:
Thirty percent of business start-ups fail
in the first twelve months. Many others
struggle along, uncertain of what help they
need or where to obtain it. Wagner Associates has vast
experience in helping businesses over the
initial stages. Assisting in drawing up
business plans; advising on funding; setting
up systems and procedures and generally
guiding you through the pitfalls that can
destroy a fledgling business. Let us help
you to be one of the seventy percent still
trading next year, not the thirty percent
bemoaning their luck.

Personal and Corporate
Tax Planning and Mitigation:
Having worked hard all year to make a profit
you now find the Inland Revenue ready to
take their share. What do you do? a) Let
them take what they want. b) Calculate what
you must pay. c) Plan your affairs so that
you retain as much as possible. If you answered
a) or b) then we commend your altruistic
nature. If you answered c) then you need
to talk to Wagner Associates. We don't just calculate
your tax bill (the Revenue can do that for
free). We look at ways to plan your finances,
offering practical solutions that allow
you to keep more of the money you worked
so hard to earn.

Estate and Capital
Tax Planning:
Through wise investment or pure good fortune
you and / or your family have built up a
tidy nest egg. Giving 40% of your nest egg
to the Exchequer probably wasn't part of
your original plan. But unless you act now
that could well be the case. Don't panic,
Wagner Associates can help. The key to mitigating any
potential liability is to take professional
advice prior to the event, the earlier the
better. (E.g. Inheritance Tax has a seven
year rule.)

Solicitor and Architect
Services:
Wagner Associates has developed close relationships with
a number of local solicitors and architects.
This is because Wagner Associates has built a reputation

is a reputation that fellow professionals
respect and rely upon; knowing we have the
clients best interests in mind. In turn,
when they need accounting services themselves,
it is Wagner Associates they turn to first. Knowing we
have the expertise in-house to handle all
the requirements of the legal and architectural
profession.
