Your accounts department —
without the overhead.
Complete back-office bookkeeping for owner-managed businesses in Staffordshire. Payroll, VAT returns, and management information — all handled.
A complete back-office accounts service
Running a business means keeping three things moving at once: employees get paid, suppliers get paid, and customers pay you. When any one of those breaks down, everything else slows with it.
Philip Barnes & Co provide a complete back-office accounts service that takes the administration off your desk. Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, and management information — all handled by the same team that looks after your year-end accounts.
What the service covers
01
Bookkeeping
Day-to-day transaction recording, bank reconciliation, and ledger maintenance.
We keep your records current so that management information is available when you need it, not just at year-end.
Talk to us →02
Payroll
PAYE processing, payslips, RTI submissions, and auto-enrolment administration.
Your employees are paid accurately and on time, with all HMRC obligations met.
Talk to us →03
VAT returns
MTD-compliant VAT filing, reconciliation, and submission to HMRC.
We prepare and file your VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, removing the compliance burden from your team.
Talk to us →04
Management accounts
Regular management information so you can see how the business is performing.
Timely figures give you the information you need to make decisions — not a surprise at year-end.
Talk to us →Systems we support
We work with businesses at every stage of their record-keeping — from simple spreadsheets through to the latest version of Sage. If you are not sure which system is right for your business, we can advise, install, and train your staff.
VAT filing is handled under Making Tax Digital. Whether you are already using MTD-compatible software or need to move across, we will manage the transition.
Concentrate on building your business
Bookkeeping is necessary. It is rarely the best use of a business owner's time. When you hand the administration to Philip Barnes & Co, you free up time for the work that generates revenue.
The service sits alongside our year-end accounts and tax work, so the same team holds the full picture of your finances. There is no duplication, no re-keying, and no explaining the same figures twice.
Ready to hand over the administration?
We will take it from here.
