what we offer
Our Services
All businesses have issues and face difficult times.
We do not take an upfront payment. If we believe in what you are trying to achieve, we will take our fee when you have been successful in achieving your goals. That way, we have a stake in what you are doing.
About Us
APL was formed in 2005 by two qualified and experienced Chartered Accountants.
We have decades of experience in general practice and specialist accounting work, gained in medium and large practices.
Our aim is to provide a range of accountancy services, but to do it differently.
We set ourselves some goals:
Client service levels
You call the shots, not us, both in terms of the scope of work and the timescale. We will tailor the extent of the work according to your requirements. We try wherever possible to work to your deadlines, not what is convenient to us. The partners work together with you, so that there is always someone who can help.
Contactability
You should be able to contact us whenever you want to. You will be able to contact us wherever we are via mobile phone.
Cost-effectiveness
We want you to use our services – we want you to get in touch. We would rather you speak to us to resolve any issues you have, no matter how small, than worry about them.
Practicality and commerciality
It’s easy to give advice from a purely accounting or taxation perspective, but this advice will often be at odds with commercial realities.
Our hands on approach
You will meet the person you will be dealing with. When you meet one of the partners, they will be your day to day contact, available on the phone or to meet you in person whenever you need
Core accounting services
We believe in making you as self sufficient as possible when it comes to core accounting services. In doing this, your fees are reduced, and you can maintain control over your business.
However, if you would prefer to outsource all of your accounting needs, we can of course carry out bookkeeping work for you.
We don’t just prepare your accounts. We will analyse and discuss with you the results shown, considering both accounting and commercial issues. Where possible, we will sort out the most beneficial accounting treatment and disclosure. We will always offer our help in handling commercial issues arising from the accounts.
Business Start Ups
Starting a new business venture can be hard. We know because we have done it.
We can guide you through all of the above and more.
We know that cash can be tight at the start so we do not take an upfront payment and we offer new businesses the facility to pay our fees by regular standing order.
If you are considering starting up on your own, please get in touch at the earliest opportunity, even if you are thinking of starting out on a very small scale initially, as it is always easier and less costly to provide the correct advice from the start than to undo mistakes.
Core accounting services
We offer the full range of core accountancy services:
- Bookkeeping
- Management accounts
- Annual statutory accounts
- Corporate and personal tax returns
- Tax mitigation
We believe in making you as self sufficient as possible when it comes to core accounting services. In doing this, your fees are reduced, and you can maintain control over your business.
