After all not many people outside the business get the opportunity to understand it as well as we do. At Forrester Boyd we believe that a modern day accountancy firm must also be able to advise on the business issues and challenges facing our clients. We also believe that this can only come from developing a deep and genuine understanding of their business, products and customers, which is why our approach to business planning always starts with you.

In addition, if you are the Director of a limited company, you have the added responsibility of ensuring that your business' annual accounts are filed at Companies House. While some larger businesses are fortunate enough to have an in-house accounting function, the majority of companies, particularly owner-managed SMEs, sole traders, partnerships and self-employed freelancers and contractors, turn to an accountant, like Forrester Boyd, to complete their annual accounts.

An audit can be completed as a box-ticking exercise to meet required obligations, but the true value of an audit is in analysing the information to gather a much deeper understanding of the business and to look beyond the figures. An audit can provide reliable and extremely valuable information for your business and can be the keystone to your organisation's growth and the achievement of your future objectives.
