Solicitors
The legal sector has unique characteristics, requiring accounting and tax services from specialist solicitor accountants. We have therefore established a pool of expertise to focus on delivering these services to this sector.
Solicitors tend to be interested in a bespoke combination of our services:
Compliance Services
- Preparation of annual accounts,
- Regulatory compliance work, including client account audits,
- Completing and submitting practice tax returns, in accordance with industry specific HMRC rules,
- Completing and submitting personal tax returns to HMRC,
- Before submitting these tax returns to HMRC, taking out tax investigation insurance to mitigate the potential extra professional fees that would arise if HMRC open a tax enquiry into one of your tax returns. Key risk areas for such an enquiry in this sector:
- WIP valuation,
- Structure and profit extraction policy,
- Provision accounting.
Outsourced Services
