"Friendly advice for your serious business". Sole Traders, Limited Liability Companies, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax. Payroll & VAT Management.
Business Development & Growth, Formations, and so on"

Is this you? Juggling company finances, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, cash flow, accounts or self-assessment – all while trying to run your business at the same time. At Cooke Webster & Co. we understand the everyday pressures that business owners face – that’s why we offer “friendly advice for serious business”.

We know how business clients need timely information and practical help with both immediate and longer-term strategic decision-making, so the team of specialists at Cooke Webster is always on hand to offer sensible advice.

If your business would benefit from timely strategic planning for future growth – or even, forecasting to cope with a potential downturn in trade instead – then Cooke Webster & Co. has specialists that are highly skilled and experienced in business development and taxation, and they will provide you with serious, practical, realistic and down-to-earth advice to help you make the right decisions.

Businesses that are seeking sound advice can count on Cooke Webster & Co. all the way. For example, our close connections with regional business development networks enable us to identify finance sources, grant funding and other opportunities for your business. We can help you decide the best way ahead, especially in today’s highly competitive and pressured commercial environment.

Many businesses and start-ups often commence with a limited company formation: we can recommend the best course of action for incorporation, and we can handle all formalities with Companies House. For some clients, it may be more tax-advantageous to work on a sole trader basis, so whichever is the better route, we will advise the best strategy for you. Of course, our service goes on to cover routine self-assessment tax calculations and company returns, and we will ensure that taxation computations are handled accurately and promptly to minimise your liability.

The in-house team at Cooke Webster can also handle:

• Book-keeping – our modern computerised systems can provide an accurate and up to date analysis of your financial position.
• VAT returns, computed accurately and submitted promptly from your records.
• PAYE: our Payroll department handles the wages and salaries for a number of clients in a highly cost-effective manner, freeing clients to concentrate on running their business instead.
