SFB’s knowledge and experience in your area means that we fully understand the issues facing you and can provide you with bespoke cost-effective accounting and business services.
SFB’s specialist services for veterinary practices include:
- Accounting and bookkeeping. As professional accountants, we provide all the accounting and bookkeeping services you would expect, using advanced cloud accounting software including SAGE, Xero and QuickBooks, so all your financial records and data are always within quick and easy reach. We also offer payroll services, which we have found is a big time saver when we take it off our clients’ desks.
- Management accounts. Outsourced accounting with us will include keeping your management accounts, quarterly or monthly, so that you always have an accurate record of all your financial transactions, inputs and outputs, so you know exactly where the business is and what its profitability is. In turn, this will hope with forecasting, and give early warnings of any issues that might need to be addressed.
- Taxation advice and compliance. Our tax professionals will ensure that your business follows all of HMRC’s compliance rules for your business tax. We will also deal with personal tax returns as part of a full range of tax services.
- Setting up a practice. Setting up a new business and becoming business owners can be a complex process, with all the things that need to be thought about and actioned. From incorporation, through to starting trading and beyond, we are here to help.
- Change of ownership. This happens quite often, as practices buy, sell and merge or, of course when owners/directors retire and the issue of business succession needs to be addressed. Once again, we have plenty of experience in this area and can advise you, professionally, all along the way. Often the need for goodwill valuations crops up, and we are experienced in the provision of these as well.
- Succession Planning. This is a specialist field of accounting that will ensure a smooth transition when the time comes to retire and hand over the reins to other directors, family members or otherwise. The sooner a succession plan is out in place, the better the outcome will be.
- Business plans, structures and financial forecasts. Financial forecasts and the structure needed to achieve them are at the centre of any business plan. Both are essential for the smooth operation and on-going profitable growth of any veterinary practice, and we offer business accounting and advisory services that will help you make the right decisions for the future.
