If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Bramhall, fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised.

Stockport ranks 269 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (1,805 micro businesses in Stockport), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. In construction (1,495 micro businesses in Stockport), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
