​Financial statements are generally made up of Balance Sheets and Profit & Loss statements for the financial year. We review and amend them based on questions we will ask you and the information you have provided.  This also includes ensuring your records are up to date and reconciled. Once the updated Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss are prepared, we also align your accounting records to the updated figures. The final statement is supplied to you in electronic format so that you have ease of storage and can forward it on to financial institutions as required.

Legal Engagement

By engaging us to compile financial statements, you acknowledge that the reliability, accuracy and completeness of the accounting records are your responsibility; and that you have disclosed to us all material and relevant information.

It does not include one off account preparation.
