Advent Accountants Chartered management accountants supporting charities, tutors, the performing arts and health and social care organisations. But it is more than a strapline.

Blending accounting and financial management services, we will navigate your numbers and grow with you. Our mission is to help the people who help people. That’s why we work with four core specialisms: charities, tutors, the performing arts and health and social care. Our strapline is navigating numbers, growing with you. It is the golden thread that runs through our accountancy practice. We want your business or charity to have a sustainable future. As chartered management accountants, we don’t just check your accounts once a year; we plan for your growth with you. But we know choosing an accountant can feel overwhelming. Many of our clients have never worked with an accountant before. That’s one of the reasons why our name is Advent Accountants. Advent means new beginnings or arrivals. It forms the word adventure, which felt fitting to honour the journey you take with us from a start-up or solo business to a growing company. Or from a small charity to a national name. You’ll also find Advent in advancement. We’ll always listen to the services you need because it’s about advancing your business or non-profit organisation. We offer:

• Bookkeeping
• End of year accounts
• Management accounts
• Corporation tax returns
• Self-assessments
• Management advice
• Company formation services
• Insurance claims
• Tax planning
• Pricing strategies
• Fractional Finance Director services
• Charity independent examination

With branches in York and Hastings, we work with clients across the UK, both locally and nationally. Let’s plan for your future today.

Businesses need to prepare year end accounts to help the owner understand their financial performance and also to meet their legal obligations to file accounts at Companies House, with HMRC and for registered charities with Charity Commission. Your annual accounts can help you to monitor the performance of your business and identify areas performing well and those areas of concern and needing improvement.

COMPANY ACCOUNTS
If your business trades through a limited company, whether a private for profit company or a not for profit company you will need to file accounts with Companies House. You will also need to file the same accounts with HMRC in their required format within 9 months of your financial year end.

SOLE TRADERS
If you trade as a sole trader or partnership you will need to prepare accounts for HMRC as well as for your own records.

If you are a sole trader your accounts will need to be prepared as part of your self-assessment tax return and submitted in time with the tax year end filing deadline of the 31st January following the tax year ending 5th April.

HMRC
There are complex regulations governing how your accounts are presented to ensure they meet Companies House and HMRC filing and data requirements and that your tax is correctly calculated.

Late filing incurs penalties and inaccurate accounts and business records can cause incorrect tax to be paid and financial difficulties in the future.

Navigating numbers, growing with you, isn’t simply a strapline. It’s the golden thread that runs through our accountancy practice.

We want your business or charity to have a sustainable future. That means offering more than bookkeeping services because decisions should be based on your numbers.

As qualified members of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), we blend accounting and financial services.

Specialist accountants for charities and non-profits

Our mission is to help the people who help people, and no one helps people more than charities.

But accounting for charities differs from business accounting. You don’t have balance sheets and profit and loss statements. You have a statement of financial position and a statement of activities. You don’t have shares; you have funds.

All of this makes charity accounting more complex than your typical company accounting. We’re qualified accountants for charities, providing complete accounting services for small charities and large non-profit organisations.
