Growing your business means tackling different challenges and solving new
problems. Planning ahead to deal with these issues involves asking yourself
some tough questions about your own business model, including how you
concentrate on building the value of the business along the way – not being
held back by poor systems to cope with red tape and administration.
As you develop and thrive, you'll also need to balance the available
rewards with the potential risks to your business and its reputation. And,
as the environment in which employers operate becomes ever more complex,
growing businesses face an expanding range of compliance, business and
accounting issues.
By working with our clients, we have identified key areas of concern for
growing businesses, some of which are:
- Retaining and motivating staff
- Red tape and company regulation
- The tax burden
Whatever your growth ambitions are, and however quickly you want to
realise them, you'll need a reliable source of information and advice on the
issues that affect your business.
As one of the UK's leading firms of accountants and business advisors,
PKF specialises in advising the management of developing private and public
businesses. We pride ourselves on creating and sustaining supportive
relationships where objective and timely advice enables our clients to
thrive and develop.
Our clients benefit from an integrated approach based on understanding
the key issues facing small and medium sized businesses. This enables us to
meet their needs at each stage of development and allows them to focus on
building the value of their business.
The principal services we provide include assurance & advisory;
consultancy; corporate finance; corporate recovery & insolvency; forensic
and taxation. We also offer financial services through our FSA authorised
company, PKF Financial Planning Limited.
We have particular expertise in the following sectors:
- Charities
- Growing businesses
- Hotels
- Medical practices
- Professional partnerships
- Public sector
- Technology
We also produce the extremely popular PKF P11D software which is used by
over 1,700 organisations ranging from those with just a few employees to
high street names producing thousands of forms. The software is designed,
written, maintained and supported within PKF, and therefore benefits from
the wide range of specialist skills available.
Although many companies first purchase the software simply to complete
forms at the year end, the majority soon change to utilising the flexible
input procedures throughout the year. This enables expense and benefit
payments to be processed while they are to hand, and removes the need to
search out information from many different sources at the year end.
Helping both the employer and employee are a main consideration. For
example, the PKF P11D software was the first (and remains one of the few) to
incorporate special employee advice forms which detail how benefit values
are calculated for items such as company cars. This simple but effective
solution can drastically reduce the queries received by an employer when
P11Ds are issued.
With a full manual and tax guide, online help, and telephone support all
included in the price, the PKF P11D software continues to provide incredible
value for money. Users can also be secure in the knowledge that PKF have
more than 1,500 partners and staff operating from a network of 25 offices
around the country. So wherever you do business, we offer local expertise
backed up by the resources of a national firm.
The UK firm is a member of PKF International, a network of independent
firms of accountants and business advisors with 430 offices in over 100
countries.
