HRBS are small business specialists.
We provide a high quality, pro-active service at a reasonable fixed fee to clients all over the UK. Our philosophy is simple ... we support new and developing businesses. We help our clients to use suitable accounting systems and controls so that they know how their business is performing and have the information available to minimise their tax and National Insurance bills.Competitive, fixed fees.
Our fees are very competitive and are published here on our website, unlike most firms of accountants who keep their fees under wraps.Consistent, personal, pro-active service.
All accounting and taxation work is done by a qualified and highly experienced accountant, and not delegated to unqualified staff nor outsourced as is increasingly the case with many accounting practices. You are guaranteed a consistent, personal service from an accountant who takes an interest in you and your business. "Choosing HRBS was a really good business decision. My previous accountants used junior and inexperienced staff and my contact at the firm often changed which meant that no one had a handle on my business or even seemed interested!"
"I deal with Keith directly. He has quickly identified ways of improving my profitability whilst at the same time reducing my admin load ... very important for a one-man business like mine."
Quickbooks and Microsoft Accounting
We are Authorised Professional Advisors for Quickbooks and Microsoft Office Accounting, providing training and support for their desktop software packages. Microsoft Office Accounting Express is free and through our partnership with Microsoft, you can download a special HRBS customised version of Microsoft Office Accounting Express here.We offer online accounting software.
Our partnerships with Winweb and Liberty Accounts enable us to provide the right online accounting software for your business. Online accounting is platform independent so you can use it with PC, MAC or Linux and do your book keeping or check your accounts on the move from a laptop or internet cafe ... wherever you are in the world. We provide support and guidance to make it extremely easy and cost effective for you to keep your books up to date online. Our Liberty Accounts users submit VAT and PAYE returns from within the software. Simples! The more you take control of your accounting systems, the better informed you are about your business enabling you to plan for your future.Lower fees ... better service.
Some of our clients have reduced their fees by over 30%, have more pro-active support and above all, understand more about their business than they did with their previous accountants. If you currently use a city or town centre firm, consider how often you have face to face meetings, whether you really need your accountant to be local and, above all, whether you want to pay higher fees to subsidise their high profile offices. Online and remote accounting and email could be good for you, your pocket ... and the environment.We help you to understand your business.
Our aim is to help you to run your business more efficiently and profitably. My approach to business is hands-on and we will help you understand how to run your business and take control of its (and your) future ... and, as an added bonus, save tax and National Insurance whilst you do so. "
The first year as a company director was a learning curve which Keith made much easier with clear advice, this made the transisition from part time affiliate to full time company director much easier. Since the company formation, I have sought advice of all kinds of other issues (from a company car to medical insurance), from which I have received sound financial advice."
We provide a full range of accounting and tax services.
Our services have been designed to support our clients, taking the burden of day to day administration away from them, so that they can focus more of their time and skills on developing their business. We can take care of book keeping, payroll, VAT returns, liaise with HMRC throughout the year, prepare management accounts, calculate dividend entitlement and provide all dividend documentation as well as preparing the year end accounts, tax returns, computations and PAYE returns etc.
