Wakefield ranks 352 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 construction (1,585 micro businesses in Wakefield), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In professional, scientific and technical services (1,045 micro businesses in Wakefield), 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.
