Who the practice works with

Kestrel Accounts is set up for two kinds of business, each with its own paperwork.

Tradespeople

Time on site leaves little room for paperwork. Receipts for materials, van and tool costs, CIS deductions and invoices all need recording properly before a tax return can be prepared.

  • Bookkeeping from receipts and invoices
  • CIS returns and deduction records
  • Self assessment for sole traders

Small shops

A shop’s books move every day: till takings, supplier invoices, stock and VAT. Keeping them up to date makes VAT returns and year end figures much easier to deal with.

  • Day to day bookkeeping
  • VAT returns under Making Tax Digital
  • Management accounts
