Accounting Essentials

No matter how many times you go through it, year-end tax accounting always raises the stress levels. Thankfully, as a firm of Chartered Accountants we’re well equipped to remove the stress from your shoulders, letting you get on with doing what you do best – running your business. All UK limited companies are required to file Corporation Tax returns every year. We’ll ensure they’re filed properly and on-time to ensure you meet your legal obligations and avoid any costly financial penalties for late submission. By the way, did we say we also ensure your company tax returns maximise any allowances available to minimise your total Corporation Tax bill? That’s money saved right there, available for transfer straight to the Profit account.

You’ve worked hard to attract some of the best professionals in the industry to work for your SME or start-up. The last thing you want to do is cause dissatisfaction with late or incorrect salary payments.

You’ll receive a comprehensive overview of the Profit First book with a PDF of the first five chapters covering this game-changing methodology. Okay, so you’re probably thinking, “Five chapters? What will that teach me?”. Well, a lot more than you’d think. You’ll learn why Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are killing your business, how Profit First works and the steps you need to implement it effectively. This is the first step of your Profit First journey. Welcome to an entirely new way of thinking.

Join our Profit First community and learn from Cloud Accountant.com’s accredited experts twice a week on Zoom. Share ideas with other members, discover how they’ve applied Profit First methodology with successful results and how you can do the same with your company.

Partner with one of our accredited Profit First accountants for one-to-one coaching dedicated exclusively to you and your company. Commencing once a month via Zoom, it is your opportunity to receive bespoke advice for any questions you have. Use the expertise of our qualified professionals for the benefit of your business!

 

For the first month, these will initially begin as weekly meetings to ensure we’re building solid foundations for Profit First. They will then revert to monthly meetings thereafter to develop these and elevate your business to the next level.

Access a wide-range of Profit First content, documents and templates built exclusively for Gold and Silver members.

When you embrace Profit First, your mindset will shift, making you re-evaluate every aspect of your business model as well as your personal finances. Many entrepreneurs pay little attention to what is being purchased each and every day; that is where Current Allocation Percentages (CAPS) come in. Our experts can tell you where your real revenue is being spent at this moment. It’s one of the more technical parts of the Profit First methodology but don’t worry, our accredited experts will calculate this and talk you through how they did it.

So, we’ve worked out where your real revenue is being spent right now. What we really need to think about is where you want it to go. Target Allocation Percentages (TAPS) control this once your company is running efficiently and profitably. They’re not a quick-win; they can often take months or even over a year, but you need to know what you’re aiming for. Fear not, Cloud Accountant.com’s specialists will create a roll-out plan showing expected improvements in Target Allocation Percentages over a duration of eight quarters.

Cash management is so important, therefore we’ll execute some key Profit First techniques to ensure it is moved to the best places at the best times. We’ll calculate the cash transfers required, advising the amounts to move and when.

We’ll keep track of your financial performance, monitoring the impact of our Profit First activities to update your 12-month forecast on a monthly basis.
