Support Services

Rayner Essex identified a number of years ago that small businesses have different requirements to those of larger limited companies, yet many practices use the same staff for both sets of clients. As a result we created a Small Business Unit with a team of staff dedicated to dealing with the smaller client, and as audit exemptions have been introduced with those clients qualifying for the exemption.

These staff are trained specifically towards accounts production in a cost efficient manner and to be aware and sympathetic of the needs and problems of the smaller clients, without compromising any of the quality.

Our aim is to provide more than just the preparation of annual accounts and consequently each client is encouraged to visit the offices to discuss the annual accounts and review possible performance enhancing measures that can be made to both the business and the accounting records.

The Unit works closely with the tax team to review any tax planning opportunities and to provide them with the necessary information for the annual preparation of the annual tax return.

Some smaller clients also take the opportunity to use the bookkeeping or management accounts services provided by a separate division of Rayner Essex known as re-commerce.
