Mr G – Plumber, ST Albans

“I came to see Cavendish & co with a pile of Inland Revenue reminders and penalty notices. Paperwork never was my strong point.

I knew that they were demanding over £20,000 in unpaid tax so naturally I was concerned to say the least.

Cavendish & Co were excellent in reassuring me that it would all be taken care of. – and it was; quickly. The accounts were prepared and in the end only a fraction of the tax demanded was actually due. Cavendish & Co also managed to eliminate a large part of the penalties, so I was delighted”.

Mrs R - New Business Radlett

“I had always been in employment but last year I started my own business. At first I was daunted by my new responsibilities and frankly didn’t have a clue about what I needed to do.

However After visiting Cavendish & Co I was made to feel completely at ease. Everything was explained in easy to understand language, My self employment was registered, I was advised what books and records I needed to keep and how. Any letters from the Inland Revenue would be taken care of and I was free to call about anything that I didn’t understand in the future.

When I left their office I felt as if a weight had been lifted and I was ready to work on getting sales!”

Distribution Company A - Borehamwood

“Our existing accountant had decided to leave us and go half way across the world, so there were a few loose ends that needed dealing with quickly!

As it happened we needed 3 sets of accounts, 2 annual returns and a PAYE return to be completed. Things were already overdue. However Cavendish & Co kept the Inland Revenue and Companies House at bay and set about producing the documents quickly”.

Retail shop Borehamwood

“We had registered as self employed for our new shop, buts that’s about it. We needed an accountant to sort everything out. We were good at running our shop but had neglected our accounts.

When we came to see Cavendish & Co our first year’s trading had already gone by so we needed a set of accounts produced rather quickly. We were delighted that Cavendish & Co were able to do this for us when we left them with a large cardboard box of papers.

As it turned out there was no tax to pay in the first year.

Not only did they prepare the accounts and our tax return at a reasonable price they also
obtained a tax repayment as a result of tax overpaid in my previous employment”.

IT Business - Milton Keynes

“We were doing well, making good profits but we felt we were paying too much tax.
Cavendish suggested that we convert to a limited Company, Given our level of profits it was estimated we could save £2,500-£3,000 per year in tax.

Our sole trader business accounts were finalised and transferred to Ltd Company. There were some more responsibilities for us to be aware of but this was all explained and most of the legal requirements were taken care of by Cavendish & Co

Now we are saving a considerable amount in tax and there are more planning opportunities every year”.

Leisure/Education Company F Watford

“We had been doing quite well and had to register for VAT.

We were advised at the time to use the flat rate scheme as it was simple and with the new discount rate we actually benefited. Recently however our category was changed. All of a sudden the rate increased from 7% to11%. This would have made life very difficult for our business. Cavendish & Co investigated our options and it was recommended that we restructure our business so that a larger part was exempt. As a result of this we were able to deregister completely. We were able to keep our prices as before but keep a lot more of our income!”
