Any accountants in Devon?

Creative / author experience required

Didn't find your answer?

Hi - although I am an accountant, I tend to work with small limited companies. A friend of mine based in Devon is a self-employed author, who has been completing his own tax returns for a few years now.  He'd like to hand this task over to an accountant (preferably local) who is experienced with authors, to help him understand tax efficiencies such as the averaging adjustment, and to prepare his accounts on the accruals basis rather than the cash basis which he is currently doing, as this would increase the options for loss relief etc.

Please do let me know if you fit the bill and would like me to put my friend in touch with you!

I am not sure I'm afraid. I believe accounts just produced on the cash basis for the past few years so income / expenses derived from bank statements would be my guess. I did help my friend out a few years ago when he was first setting up and think there was plenty of paperwork, neatly organised e.g. receipts, book contracts, remittance advice notes etc.

Thank you very much. If you would drop me a PM with your full details, I will be sure to pass this on to my friend, who is keen to get something in place as soon as possible (with effect from 2020-21 onwards).
