What’s the difference?

Business people first, accountants too

We have been in business first, and then we are accountants. We understand how your small business accounting works, the issues you face and how to help you make the most of what you have as well as where you want to go.

01

Dedicated Accountant

Deal with one person. Your dedicated Small Business Accountant team gets to know you and your business, meaning their advice has a bigger benefit to you.

02

Business Advice

Merranti Consulting can offer expert business advice, help solve an issue, build a business plan and support growth or recovery programmes.

03

Cloud Accounting Software

Work on Excel, QuickBooks, Xero or specialised industry software, with full set-up and training on cloud software.

04

Fixed Accounting Fees

Know exactly what your accounting fees will be for the year, with no surprise bill every time you speak to your accountant.

05

Proactive Support

We are proactive, not reactive, and work with you throughout the year rather than only speaking at the year end.

Document Collection

Free collection and return of your accounting documents and records is included in the package.

Prepare your accounts, talk you through the results and highlight important points.

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping support tailored to your needs, including VAT, CIS and cloud software.

Company Secretarial

Support with Companies House administration, registered office and confirmation statements.

Financial & Management Accounts

Small business advice

Help your business survive, thrive and grow

Invaluable — that was how our latest small business client described us. It wasn’t because we prepared a great set of accounts; it was because we helped them when their business needed it and helped them restructure at a crucial point.

Whether it is guidance on how to get the most out of QuickBooks or advice on tax issues, we make sure that we are available to assist you so that you can make informed decisions.
