In construction (4,310 micro businesses in Buckinghamshire), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In wholesale and retail (3,355 micro businesses in Buckinghamshire), 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.
