Specialist Financial Advisors
Casterbridge Hardy remains a dynamic and forward looking practice which is firmly embedded in the local counties of Dorset and Hampshire yet continues to operate successfully on behalf of clients throughout the remainder of the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Europe, and the rest of the world.
The services we provide include Accountancy, Bookkeeping, Taxation, PAYE, Business Advice, Accounting Systems, Auditing and financial planning. The policy has remained constant since the inception of the practice - we have no time for hyperbole. Clients do not expect to be told that they will receive excellent service or "new" or "developed" products - these are rights to which they are entitled and we do not disappoint.
How Can We Help You?
Our Professional Services
At Casterbridge Hardy, we offer a personal and professional service focused on the needs of each individual client or family.
Accounts Preparation
Do you need accurate accounts provided on time?
We can prepare accounts to help in completion of self-assessment tax returns. As well as this, we can produce financial statements to file at Companies House and abridged accounts to ensure the minimum amount of your financial information is made public. Accounts are prepared to agreed timescales and deadlines. But we can do more than just report the history of what's already happened:- Identify areas where we can assist in minimising your tax liability
- Identify areas of the business that give you the most opportunity to make improvements
- Use the accounts to help you measure where you are in meeting your goals and what actions you need to take
Tax Planning
You are entitled to arrange your affairs to pay the absolute legal minimum amount of tax.
