Accountancy, bookkeeping and audit - Tax and VAT advice and planning - Management consultancy

We are a small firm of Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors with over two decades of experience, based in Theydon Bois, near Epping in Essex.

We work with clients across London, and are happy to come to your home, office or even local pub to meet, if that is more convenient for you.

We pride ourselves on our client relationships, so if you want to have your affairs dealt with by somebody who is interested in more than just your fees, please contact us for a free initial discussion.

Financial planning is a complex subject and should be constantly re-assessed in relation to changes in legislation and financial status.

Neill Wright and Associates will be pleased to offer guidance on any area of financial concern, and to become a proactive member of your team.

Our Services

Here at Neill Wright and Associates we pride ourselves on the breadth of our portfolio of clients. Our original specialism was the music industry, and we continue to act for record companies, music publishers, management companies, artists, producers, recording studios and many other specialist service providers in that industry. However, we also act for taxi drivers, computer consultants, specialist electrical contractors, building companies, printers, print finishers, local shops, internet companies, cleaning contractors, specialist chemical companies, graphic designers, recruitment consultants, courier companies, garages, landlords, management consultants and pensioners. We also pride ourselves on the breadth of our general business experience, and can advise on much more than just the financial aspects of your business.

Taxation

It can be very tempting to take the attitude of “I’ll deal with the accountancy later; I’ve got more important things to do.” However, forward planning is essential in today’s environment. Legislation is changing faster than ever before, and the consequences of failing to plan for the future can be very damaging.

The team at Neill Wright and Associates can provide a wide range of advice on all tax matters, including: preparation of self-sssessment tax returns; determining personal and corporation tax liabilities; preparation of tax computations; and submission to and correspondence with HMRC.

We can advise on business start-up considerations, such as:

  • whether structuring your business as a sole trader/partnership or as a limited company would be most beneficial;
  • making use of available concessions and allowances, considering the use of trusts;
  • pensions schemes;
  • capital gains and losses;
  • planning for retirement;
  • tax implications of sale of or retirement from business ownership;
  • the use of trusts and pension funds.

For limited companies we can advise on optimising the use of available tax concessions, corporate structure, etc.

Bookkeeping

Neill Wright and Associates can provide a bookkeeping service, either from our own office or yours.

We can also provide support for a client’s own in-house bookkeeping department, by instituting systems for accounting and management control and, if required, recruiting, training and supervising a client’s own bookkeeper.

Please contact us for a free intial discussion.

Accounts Preparation

Neill Wright and Associates recognise that, in view of recent legislation, the correct preparation and submission of corporate accounts is more important than ever before. Our team can assist in the preparation of annual accounts for presentation to management, shareholders, banks, the Registrar of Companies and HMRC.

If required, we can also assist in the preparation of management accounts, interim accounts, cashflow forecasts, and financial information for budgeting, pricing and stock control.

Music

Keith originally trained with Sloane & Co., a West End music practice. After qualifying, he was promoted to Manager. As well as dealing with many high profile clients such as Soul II Soul, OMD, Mark Morrison, Maxi Priest and INXS, a great deal of experience was gained in dealing with the affairs of smaller musicians, record labels, recording studios and management companies.

He left in 1993, and then spent one and a half years with Entertainment Accounting International, running their Financial Accounting department. E.A.I. are a music practice based in the West End who specialise in Tour Accounting, Tax Planning, and Royalty Accounting and Audit, with a diverse roster of clients ranging from Johnny Cash to Sheryl Crow, Placido Domingo, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tangerine Dream and Tricky.

In 1994 Keith decided to set up his own practice. A conscious decision was made not to be based in the West End; instead an office was set up in the provinces with the intention of keeping down overheads and hence fees. The practice has remained very successful, and now acts for a multitude of music industry clients, as well as for some very interesting clients who have nothing at all to do with music!

One of our particular specialisms is business affairs consultancy. We can handle all types of contractual work, from drafting a simple group agreement between members of a band to negotiating a worldwide licensing deal for a track.
