Service areas

Every business owner needs a team of professionals in the background who provide continuous support and advice. That's what we are here to do.

Through years of commitment to our business clients we have developed a wide range of skills and services designed to improve business performance and profitability.

Accounting and audit

At McCranors we'll work with you to lessen the burden of statutory accounting requirements.

Bookkeeping

At McCranors we have a specific department dedicated to providing our clients with experts who focus solely on bookkeeping and management accounting.

Business advisory

McCranors has extensive commercial expertise which enables us to ensure that our clients have access to the advice they need, when they need it.

Business start-up support service

As you will know, what is critical to your businesses success is having the right team around you to provide correct and timely advice and support. McCranors will work with you to take away the pain of setting up a business.

Business tax planning and compliance

No business likes taxation, but we all recognise that the issue must be tackled. McCranors tax specialists are here to help you achieve the optimum tax outcome for your business.

Company secretarial

Trading through a limited company can offer significant tax benefits. But many clients find the associated company legal administration requirements complex, and sometimes impenetrable.

Corporate finance

McCranors works with businesses to help them achieve their objectives.

Corporate recovery

At McCranors our approach to corporate recovery is summed up in the phrase: prevention is better than cure.

Financial planning

McCranors Financial Services (MFS) is the Financial Services arm of McCranors Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers.

Inheritence tax and capital gains tax

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is payable by individuals. It is both a tax payable on death and on gifts during your lifetime.

IT support

McCranors has in-house IT experts who can assist your business with a range of IT services.

Management accounts

Management accounts are invaluable in helping you to make timely and meaningful management decisions about your business.

Payroll

Administering payroll is becoming increasingly burdensome for many businesses, taking more and more time and resources away from core business functions.

Pension and retirement planning

McCranors Financial Services (MFS) offers all our clients a wide range of tailored pension and retirement strategies.

Personal tax planning and compliance

With the tax regime becoming more complex, and more emphasis being put on taxpayers' individual responsibilities, everyone who is subject to taxation needs professional advice and support if they are to optimise their tax position and ensure that they meet all the compliance requirements.

Self assessment

Completing self assessment returns can be a time-consuming, worrying and often confusing business for busy individuals.

Tax mitigation

McCranors offers its clients access to a wide range of tax mitigation services. Our philosophy is that our clients should be empowered with knowledge that enables them to make their own decisions regarding the tax planning strategies that suit them.

Trusts and executorships

Trusts are capable of being a very tax-efficient way of setting aside assets for future beneficiaries and mitigating your Inheritance Tax exposure, whilst retaining control over family assets.

VAT

Value Added Tax is one of the most complex and onerous tax regimes imposed on business - so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT.
