About Us -

Why choose Compass?

Personal Approach

All clients have the benefit of being allocated a manager who will provide a single point of contact. Your client manager will take full responsibility to ensure all matters arising are dealt with in a proper and timely manner. We believe we are able to offer a personal service second to none.

Commitment

We believe successful businesses need advisors who are committed to their clients and will provide pro-active advice. Your advisors also need to be able to anticipate, to react quickly and decisively and to provide positive advice when needed. We are committed to providing the necessary continued support to help and assist with our clients’ success.

Adding Value for you

It is our policy to provide a service which adds value to our clients as opposed to merely completing necessary and sometimes unwanted accounts, forms and returns. With this in mind, we review all the work we undertake with a view to identifying any opportunities that may increase the company’s or the individual’s return on capital or create an opportunity to make savings.

Pro-active Advice and Other Issues

During the process of our work, we gain insight and an understanding of your business and your financial affairs. Where relevant, we will highlight areas that we believe you should consider more closely which may be of help to you or will add value.

This could typically include:

• Improvements that can be made to your accounting systems.
• Improving the management information extracted from your records.
• Identifying tax planning opportunities for you and your business.
• Identifying ways to increase your profit and retain your wealth.
• Helping to mitigate your overall tax liability.
• Complying with Government Regulations and other legislation.
• Making the best use of IT for you and your business.

Resources and Technical Ability to Carry Out the Work

We are confident that the quality of personnel who will be involved in any of the work we carry out for you will compare favourably with any of our competitors. Our staff are experienced and extremely able people and we do not believe that there are any technical matters on which you will require advice that we will not have encountered before.

All our team members undergo a rigorous training programme to ensure our professional standards are maintained at the highest level and are continuously updated with changes in commercial and tax laws.

Assurance

The work that we undertake for you should increase your confidence in the information on which you rely to provide you with a sound basis for making better decisions.

Credibility

Our reports also assist the users and readers of your accounts in assessing your credibility. This can be particularly helpful when dealing with:

• Banks and other financial institutions.
• Building Societies for your periodic mortgage applications.
• Suppliers.
• HM Revenue and Customs.

Fraud

Fraud continues to be an ever-present part of every day business life. Whilst our work cannot guarantee to detect all fraud, it is an important tool in helping its prevention. Our involvement will act as a deterrent and identify areas of weakness that may lead to fraud.

Reputation

We provide a professional and quality service and have an excellent reputation. That reputation extends to users of our clients’ accounts, which enables them to place reliance upon the figures produced. This can be extremely helpful when it comes to raising finance, as well as dealing with HM Revenue and Customs.
