Why we are different

We take a genuine interest in the performance of all client businesses. This could sound like a PR exercise if it wasn't for the fact
we include, as standard and free of charge, interim Management Accounts to analyse how the business is performing during the
first year. This enables us to react quickly to any adverse trading issues you may be experiencing and advise on the best course of
action. After all, your success, is our success!

First impressions

With advances in electronic communications, the need for your Accountant to be local is a thing of the past. Apart
from our first meeting (after the free consultation), we make full use of modern multimedia Messenger and Web
Cam services. If you are not already geared up for this technology, then getting you up and running is included
within our standard service, free-of-charge. Visiting our offices for the initial meeting gives us the opportunity to
introduce the Team Members who will be responsible for looking after you throughout the year.

We can help you with:

Structure

We will look at the legal set-up and ambitions of the business and advise on the most appropriate structure such
as Sole Trader, Partnership or Limited Company. We can also, on your behalf, register you with an off- the-shelf
or completely new limited company and carry out all the relevant secretarial work.

Finance

Where capital expenditure is required we can advise on the best methods and supply you with details of financial sources. We can
also help prepare a Business Plan if one has not already been done. If you are seeking investment, it will increase your chances
of success by having a well thought out, detailed Plan.

Regulatory requirements

We can advise on all financial aspects of PAYE , NI contributions and VAT;  check your legal responsibility for
Health and Safety; look at environmental issues; advise on Employee rights; check that premises are suitable
for the business venture with local Planning departments; look at intellectual property rights such as company
name and logo; and make sure you have all the relevant licence's to carry out business.

Record keeping

In the early days, it is likely a manual bookkeeping system will be sufficient to keep track of your transactions. If we are doing your
bookkeeping, then you do not have to worry about keeping records. Send us your receipts and statements and we do the rest.
However, you do not need to understand bookkeeping to be able to complete Bookkeeping Templates supplied to you by AMI Associates. By completing and emailing them to us, it helps keep our costs down and has the added benefit of training you to
become more self sufficient, if that is the route you want to take in the future. If a business system is required, please see the
Consultancy page.

Taxation

You can make AMI Associates responsible for all aspects of business and personal taxation including PAYE, NI, VAT,
Corporation Tax (where appropriate) and personal tax assessments. If we are responsible for most of your bookkeeping and
accounts preparation, it is likely we would take responsibility for your taxation issues. However, if you are keen to become more
self sufficient, then we are always willing to offer training and advice when required.

And much more!

We could supply you with a full range of  business stationery that complies with statutory requirements. Advise, and put in place,
management structures to help business expansion. Negotiate investment on your behalf. Basically, the list is endless and a lot
of our advice is included within the basic package. If we can encourage you to use AMI Associates more as a Business
Advisor than the archetypal Accountant, and do so without having to worry about how much it will cost, then it has got to be good
news?
