Partnerships
Partnership accounting made simple
Establishing your business as a legal partnership entity with one or more business partners can be an exciting way to either set up your business or move it to the next stage of its cycle. The advantages of developing your business as a partnership include sharing the responsibilities, decision-making and rewards of running your own enterprise.
You are most likely to want to set up as a legal partnership should you be running a professional services business such as in the medical, legal or financial sector as this helps one entity combine its skills and resources when dealing with a broad client range. Whilst in some respects, partnerships and sole traders are similar, there are some specific and unique requirements needed to comply legally for a partnership and that’s where Gascoynes can support you.
With our five offices stretching across East Anglia — with Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, and Stowmarket in Suffolk plus Diss and Wymondham in Norfolk — our experienced chartered accountants are on hand to guide you through every step of setting up and running your partnership.
From registration to compliance – we have you covered
Straight away, you will benefit from our expertise in HMRC registration and incorporating your business at Companies House, receive advice on how best to manage your financial infrastructure with the help of digital accountancy software such as QuickBooks, and ensure you stay up to date and compliant including taxation submissions, end of period accounts, tax returns and payroll if you have multiple partners in the business. We can also help you better understand how profits are shared and taxed, expenses policies, and VAT rules.
Plus as your partnership grows either in revenue or headcount, we can also guide you through everything you need to know on employee payroll, employer obligations and how best to structure your accounts to support sustainable growth. We like to make working with us simple as possible by removing administration and paperwork so you and your partners can focus on what you do best – building a successful business together.
And when you need us for whatever level of support, you can choose to meet us face-to-face at one of our five local offices or via virtual meeting or phone call.
