Financial Statements and Tax Returns

Compliance is a part of every business. At the end of each financial year (usually 31 March), companies and sole traders are required to have a set of financial accounts prepared and to submit their tax returns with the IRD. Sound like a headache? That’s where the team at Accounting North can take the pressure off you and handle this year end compliance for you. Your individual requirements will be discussed with you and information and constructive advice will be provided. In addition to performing these services we also endeavour to ensure that when you see your financial statements your eyes don’t glaze over!
