Hertsmere ranks 474 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 92% is above the 89% average across them. In construction (1,205 micro businesses in Hertsmere), 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 (850 micro businesses in Hertsmere), 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.
