Without efficient bookkeeping systems and reliable management accounts, even the most dynamic business will fail to perform at optimum profitability.
Few small or medium businesses can afford in-house accounting departments. Often it falls to one person to fit in with their other responsibilities. Claremont provides this service cost effectively whilst offering a range of additional services to help give you a clear and accurate picture of your company’s financial health.
Using our bookkeeping and management accounting services will not only lift the administrative burden from your shoulders but also significantly reduce your costs and free up valuable management time that can be spent more productively in other areas of the business
Our fully insured services are designed and tailored around YOUR needs and budget working with the business Directors to provide them with the information they require to make the right decisions for their business – for us, it’s about much more than just bookkeeping.
We work to your deadline – not ours.

Payroll Services
Paying employees is among the most vital tasks any business must perform, yet payroll processing is increasingly difficult and onerous and getting it wrong is all too easy, especially with the changes regarding Real Time Information (RTI) requiring that PAYE information is sent to HMRC on or before the date each employee is paid and the Auto-Enrolment requirements of the workplace pension reforms.
We are focused on client delivery. We aim to fit our service around your existing systems.
We use reliable and powerful HMRC approved software to ensure that your payroll is compliant with HMRC legislation and also ensure we can meet your requirements such as Real Time Information and Auto-Enrolment for pensions.
Our payroll service includes:
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll processing
RTI submissions
CIS (Contractors) Service – preparing and submitting monthly CIS returns
Completion of year-end P60’s and statutory returns
BACS payments
Sealed or e-mailed payslips
Ensuring the correct deductions are processed for staff on maternity leave, student loans and sick pay
Keeping and storing of PAYE records to meet statutory regulations
A seamless operation ensures HMRC always has the information it needs and that employees are paid correctly and on time – every time.
​
How it works:
Each pay period, you send us the data required to calculate the wages and salaries
You report the hours worked by your employees plus any changes to the payroll such as deductions, pay increases, new staff etc.
We do the rest. We calculate net wages and salaries, taxes, NI and pension contributions as well as any other types of deductions you specify
We aim to process your payroll within 2 days of receiving the data
Reports will be sent in electronic and/or hard copy format together with sealed payslips
Payroll can be processed to meet your individual needs, including processing on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis
​
Workplace Pension
The workplace pension reforms have been phased in. These legislative changes will have a significant impact and make it a legal requirement for all employers, of all sizes, to automatically enrol their employees into a workplace pension scheme.
Whilst the effect on pensions and cash flow will probably have been considered by many employers, the operational impact of the legal obligations, particularly with regards to payroll procedures and communication processes, has almost been overlooked.
We can help you.
Whether you need a guiding hand and advice in layman’s terms, someone to set up the administrative process for you to maintain or someone to take over the entire function, we can do as much or as little as you want.
​
VAT Returns
VAT is a headache for most businesses. Timely and accurate VAT returns will help to keep HMRC at bay and minimize your chance of additional investigations and potential fines & interest.
All VAT returns are now to be submitted on-line no matter what size of business you run – there are penalties for those who still submit paper returns
There are various VAT schemes and it is best to discuss which would suit your business with your Accountant. You will also need to know when to register and if you actually need to register and this information can be found on the HMRC website where there is a comprehensive introduction to VAT. We can provide help or actually register your business on your behalf with HMRC so that you can be assured that everything is completed as necessary.
In today’s climate, customers tend to pay when they are ready – not when you need it. Their payment may arrive in a month or two or may never arrive at all. We provide a proactive credit control process so the business gets paid in a timely fashion allowing debts to be settled promptly to release cash necessary to pay suppliers and other creditors.
We can help you set up your credit control procedures and also, if required, be able to carry out this time consuming job on your behalf. Credit control is a job in itself and is very important so it is essential that you get this area right. How we can help you will depend on what you would like us to do for you but below is a summary of the things we do for other clients:
-
Invoice accurately and promptly send out by e-mail or post
-
Send out statement regularly by post or electronically
-
Provide you with a detailed list of debts which we can discuss with you if you would like a more hands on approach
-
Make telephone calls or send e-mails chasing the debt in line with your requirements
-
Assist with Court paperwork should matters get that far
-
Provide a credit application service
We do not believe in factoring your debts. The right process and a polite, persistent and friendly disposition can work wonders. We know how to do it and do it well!
