Services

Owner-managed businesses, whether companies, partnerships, or LLPs, need a whole-picture approach that covers everything from day-to-day operations to planning and strategy.

Creating and growing a business is about far more than getting new clients. Which ones are profitable? How much should you charge? How do you manage your cash flow? What about scaling things up? We help clients with every aspect of business finances, including:

• tax reliefs
• cash flow
• company and partnership formation
• credit control
• dividends
• invoicing
• managing leave and entitlements
• payroll and National Insurance
• shareholder and partnership agreements
• employee share incentive schemes
• sources of finance
• stock management
• systems and processes
• tax and returns

Because we’ve run companies ourselves, we get it. Tell us where you want to get to, and we will tell you how we would help.

Traditional books are very last century. We’ll help you set up your finances in the cloud and say goodbye to boxes of paperwork in the attic.

Cloud-based bookkeeping software is the biggest revolution in business accounting since the calculator, and it will make running your company easier. With a user-friendly app for your phone and desktop, you can

• see real-time bank balances
• invoice clients
• directly scan and email receipts
• view receivables and payables
• sync point of sale & eCommerce
• integrate timesheets
• enjoy a real-time overview of your business

Our cloud-based accounting service takes the pain out of day-to-day cash flow and quarterly VAT and tax returns, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business. Feel free to drop us a line or call to find out more.

See beyond the numbers to evaluate your business and focus on the most profitable areas.

Is servicing that client profitable or not? Which type of revenue should you focus on for the fastest company growth? How much does it cost to run your business and how much should you charge? Because we understand business and don’t just crunch numbers, many directors turn to us for advice on their business development.

Whether you trade through a limited company, LLP, or CIC, making sure your business is structured tax-efficiently is one of the most valuable things a good accountant can do. We advise on corporation tax, income tax for partners and directors, dividends, capital gains, tax planning across the business lifecycle, and making the most of available reliefs.

Tell us what you’re trying to achieve and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Achieve accelerated growth by acquiring or merging with another business.

There are opportunities to improve your business performance, streamline costs and reach new markets when you merge with a complementary organisation or take over a competitor. However, this strategy carries a high failure rate as it is one of the riskiest operations a company can undertake. Planning and due diligence are essential if you want your business to come out on top. Kalculus has extensive experience supporting clients through successful mergers and acquisitions.

Tap into new sources of funding, apply for grants and loans, and plan your business growth on a sound financial footing.

We advise clients ready to take the next step on all aspects of funding, from grants and loans to raising equity finance. Our hands-on business knowledge means we often work with company directors scaling their operations or experiencing rapid expansion. Feel free to drop us a line or call us to learn more.

Plan your company’s next moves with confidence and get credit, cash flow and stock under control.

Our extensive experience helps us support clients in managing their budgets and financial strategies. We help you see beyond the numbers to avoid cash flow bottlenecks and find the right strategy at the right time to grow your business and profits.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is the biggest change to self-assessment in a generation, and if you are a sole trader or landlord, it is likely to affect you. The annual self-assessment return is replaced by quarterly digital updates to HMRC, plus an end-of-period statement and final declaration each year.

The rollout is phased, with different income levels coming into scope at different dates. Getting set up correctly takes time, so if you think you might be in scope, the earlier you act the better. Talk to us and we will make sure you are in the right shape when your deadline arrives.

Your personal tax position and your business finances are rarely separate concerns. We work with individuals on self-assessment, tax planning, and making sure their affairs are structured efficiently across income, investments, and assets.

We advise on income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, and dividend planning. Where clients are considering EIS or SEIS qualifying investments, we can review business plans and financial forecasts and give an informed accounting view, though we work alongside regulated financial advisers for investment advice itself. Whether you are a director drawing income from your own business, a high earner with complex affairs, or planning ahead for retirement or wealth transfer, we can help you understand your position and reduce your exposure within the rules.

Getting the finances right is a doddle when you take advantage of our expertise.
