Our services

Our comprehensive accounting services include almost everything any business owner could need to support their financial operations, from payroll and tax administration to audits and evaluations.

Here are the primary services you can benefit from when you entrust gbac and our accountants in Harrogate with improving your financial management.

Bookkeeping in Harrogate

Should your business need help with bookkeeping, from invoice processing to filing VAT returns, why not turn to our accounting and VAT services? With the latest software, such as Xero SAGE or Quickbooks, we can manage your business accounts and keep everything up to date.

If you would like to upgrade your in-house bookkeeping, we can assist your business in implementing cloud accounting software for your own use. Or, if you would rather outsource your payroll to a professional service, we can take on PAYE management on your behalf.

As a partner of the ARMA (Association of Residential Managing Agents), we are also able to manage service charge accounts for commercial and residential property developments.

Tax consultants in Harrogate

Managing tax affairs efficiently is key for any business owner or self-employed individual to avoid the risks of unexpected large tax bills and HMRC penalties for non-compliance. Of course, staying on top of tax liabilities and filing and paying on time can quickly become complicated.

Fortunately, our tax consultancy services are available for those who may struggle to maintain their tax documents, file returns, and pay balances owed before quarterly or annual deadlines. Our accountants in Doncaster can manage these processes and advise you on tax allowances.

Corporate finance in Harrogate

Our independent company might be small, but our knowledge is mighty. At gbac, we have the expertise and confidence to advise companies of all sizes on corporate finance matters, from sales and acquisitions to raising capital and succession planning.

Additionally, if you need to calculate the total value of a business or part of a business – such as shares or reward systems – our chartered accountants are also qualified to carry out both internal and external business valuations in Harrogate.

Financial resourcing in Harrogate

The future of any growing business depends on maintaining a flow of financial data, analysing it, and acting on these findings to improve results. If your business is small, or you don’t have a sufficient finance department, you could rely on our virtual finance department instead.

Our financial resourcing services allow businesses to liaise with our bookkeepers and financial controllers remotely using cloud accounting software, so all that’s needed to stay up to date is a secure internet connection.

If you’re starting up a new company, or making changes to the structure of an existing company, you may also benefit from our company secretarial services to support you through these processes.

Auditing in Harrogate

Should you require an audit and assurance service in Harrogate, we are certified by the BSI (British Standards Institution) to carry out QMS (Quality Management System) internal audits for risk analysis. We also provide external statutory audits, performing independent examinations and supplying assurance reports.

Being registered with the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), we’re also qualified to conduct audits in the educational sector. From conversions to cash flow management, academies and multi-academy trusts can benefit from our services, too.

Probate in Harrogate

Losing a loved one is a very difficult experience, and all the administrative tasks that come with managing the deceased’s estate can be an extra burden. In these cases, it can be helpful to use our probate services to handle the paperwork on your behalf while you process your bereavement.

Should you need a professional to manage estate evaluation, probate applications, or inheritance tax liabilities, the team at our sister company – GBAC Estates and Probate Services – are trained to handle these affairs with a high level of sensitivity.
