Accounting & Compliance
In today’s fast-moving commercial environment, having control over your finances is essential for sustainable growth. Our expert accounting services give businesses clear financial visibility, robust compliance support, and forward-thinking financial guidance.
Through tailored accounting solutions, we help you strengthen financial performance, reduce risk, and plan confidently for the future — putting your business in a stronger position to succeed.
✓ Accounting is the structured management of your business’s financial information — from recording transactions to interpreting performance and meeting legal obligations. Professional accounting services transform raw financial data into clear, reliable insights, helping you understand how your business is performing, where it stands financially, and whether it remains compliant with current laws and regulations.
Rather than just keeping records, effective accounting gives you visibility, control, and confidence to move your business forward.
Business accounting covers several specialist areas, each supporting a different aspect of decision-making and compliance:
✓ Financial Accounting
Focuses on preparing formal financial statements based on your business transactions, giving a clear picture of profitability and financial health.
✓ Planning & Administrative Accounting
Supports budgeting, forecasting, and goal setting — helping you map out how your business will achieve its objectives.
✓ Tax Accounting
Ensures your tax obligations are calculated correctly, deadlines are met, and tax exposure is managed efficiently with full transparency.
✓ Cost Accounting
Examines the true cost of producing goods or delivering services, allowing you to price accurately and improve margins.
✓ Management Accounting
Produces internal reports that help directors and stakeholders make informed strategic decisions quickly.
No two businesses are the same. That’s why our team provides accounting support tailored to your exact needs — whether simple or complex.
You are only legally required to appoint an external accountant for audit purposes if your company meets two or more of the following thresholds:
✓ Annual turnover above £10.2 million
✓ Assets exceeding £5.1 million
✓ More than 50 employees
However, every business — regardless of size — must maintain accurate financial records. For most business owners, managing accounts alongside day-to-day operations quickly becomes time-consuming and risky.
If your business is growing, hiring staff, increasing turnover, or planning ahead, professional accounting support becomes not just helpful — but essential.
Choosing an accounting firm often comes down to finding the right balance.
Smaller firms typically offer close, personal relationships and direct access to advice. Larger firms, on the other hand, bring broader expertise, deeper resources, and experience across many industries.
At Rothstone Accountants, you get the best of both worlds. We combine hands-on, relationship-driven support with the technical knowledge and systems usually associated with larger practices — giving you dependable advice without losing the personal touch.
Working with experienced accountants provides far more than compliance. Key advantages include:
✓ Clear, reliable financial reporting
✓ Better control and visibility over cash flow
✓ Reduced risk of penalties and regulatory issues
✓ More tax-efficient business structures
✓ Leaner operations with improved cost control
✓ Actionable insights for smarter decision-making
