Professional accounting services

At Chris Derby Ltd, we understand that running your own business can be hard enough, especially if you are a new business, it often feels like there are not enough hours in the day.
This is where we can help. We are a fully qualified and professional accountancy firm with over 40 years of industry experience.
From accounts preparation and VAT returns to payroll and much more.

Sole trader and partnership accountancy services

At Chris Derby Ltd, we understand that there is not a one size fits all, and whether you are a sole trader or a partnership, we can provide a bespoke accountancy package to suit you and your business.

Personal Tax Advice

Personal tax covers a very broad range of taxes, the good news is, we can help and advise you on them all.
We provide proactive tax planning services to help individuals avoid unexpected tax bills. By working with you throughout the tax year, we ensure that you're fully prepared for your tax liabilities and have no unpleasant surprises. If you also use our bookkeeping services, managing your tax affairs becomes even smoother. We actively look for tax-saving opportunities, taking a personalised approach to maximise available reliefs and incentives. Our expert advice includes guidance on tax-efficient business structures and the optimal timing for disposing of assets and investments, helping you save money.

Self Assessment Registration

We understand that dealing with HMRC and Customs can seem daunting and worrying, especially if you are only just starting out. Many people have opted for self-assessment which can be completed by yourself or by an appointed representative. 
Informing HMRC of your intention to complete your tax returns by self-assessment can be completed online. If you are worried at all about making a mistake or simply do not know where to start, get in touch with us. We will ensure the relevant information is completed and provided to HMRC on your behalf.

Payroll

Chris Derby Ltd offers fully managed payroll services, relieving businesses of the complex and time-consuming task of handling payroll. Payroll involves detailed calculations, such as taxes, deductions, reimbursements, and benefits, which can be prone to errors without expert knowledge. Many small businesses find it costly to maintain an in-house payroll department, leaving the responsibility to senior staff who are already stretched thin. By outsourcing payroll to us, you can ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time each month, while staying compliant with HMRC and the Pensions Regulator. This allows you to focus on running and growing your business.
