VAT Returns
We are able to prepare and submit all types of Vat returns regardless of whether you are on Standard, Cash Accounting or the Flat Rate scheme, require EC sales lists or encounter Reverse Charge sales/purchases to name but a few. Let us meet your vat filing deadlines and answer any vat queries you may have.

Payroll
The bookkeeping team can assist with all areas of payroll. We have a vast knowledge and experience where payroll is concerned and are therefore able to quickly and accurately process your payroll and answer any queries you may have. More recently our clients have turned to the bookkeeping team to take over payroll schemes now governed by RTI. We can produce electronic payslips via email or more traditional documents if preferred, so distance is not an issue for our clients. Contact us today.

Credit Control
We are happy to assist with all areas of bookkeeping and can even raise invoices and operate your credit control function. As part of a complete bookkeeping service, we are able to act as your internal accounts function to relieve the pressure that this brings. Our handling of this in addition to the services above, works well to provide you with up-to-date financial information and a reassurance that all is on track and being taken care of.
Bookkeeping is about efficiency, it's having the ability to turn a stack of client records into something meaningful. We take your records in whatever state they arrive and we deliver back to you, the client, reconciled reports and accounts so that you can take real business decisions using real data.
Too many small businesses are run on assumptions, guess work and gut instincts. With the information that we can provide the business can be run properly, efficiently and with drive. With our assistance we make the accounting process at year-end less onerous.
We primarily use…
- Sage
- Xero
- Quickbooks
- FreeAgent
But we can use specialist or bespoke systems if required and we can work remotely via web links or on-site.
WHAT WE CHARGE
We follow the same core Charlton Baker principles when it comes to pricing and fees:
- Transparency
- Fixed Fees
- Added Value
Therefore our pricing is very straightforward, we charge £35 per hour ex VAT, with our main aim being to save our clients time and money. No matter what the job, big or small, simple or complex we charge the same. For some of our larger bookkeeping clients we agree a monthly retainer where we fix our charges and therefore we absorb any time costs over this limit. This usually comes hand in hand with full accounting and tax compliance services carried out by the Charlton Baker Limited Accounts team.
For our payroll clients we offer the same pricing charge and are happy to provide a fixed fee quote for this which takes into account the processing of the regular payroll, the year end return and the processing of any joiners or leavers in the year.
