Accounting & Tax

Payroll

Payroll administration requires continuous monitoring and attention which ties up valuable resources in your business. And you need to keep track of frequent changes in legislation, failing which, you could face hefty fines for seemingly innocent errors.

By handing over your payroll administration to us, you can free yourself from unnecessary headaches and get on with running your business. UHY & Co’s highly responsive and reliable team has the experience to provide you with a comprehensive payroll administration service, including:

  • Processing and payment of employee emoluments
  • Payslip production
  • Preparation of statement of emoluments
  • Electronic submission of payroll returns to Government departments
  • Electronic payment of statutory payroll dues to relevant Authorities

We use up-to-date software to process payroll information and can guarantee a speedy and error-free payroll service. We also make ourselves available to answer any enquiries during PAYE and other payroll-related audits conducted by Government Authorities.

Accounting

Maintaining proper accounting records and preparing accounts is a necessity for all businesses to comply with tax legislation and the Companies Act 2001. We can assist you with both.

We regard preparation of the accounts of your business not merely as a compliance exercise but as a process which provides you with meaningful insight into the performance of your business so that you can manage it better. We take time to advise you on the suitability of your accounting system in meeting your information requirements and can recommend the use of appropriate accounting software to suit the size and nature of your business.

We can also train and supervise a member of your staff to carry out the accounting functions and intervene on a regular basis, depending on your requirements, to review his work and provide you with comfort as to the reliability of your management accounts.

We stay in touch with you and your business, through our regular interventions. This proximity enables us to highlight to you important business issues and to make useful recommendations on possible improvements to your business.
