Innovative

DSM have long been innovative leaders in bringing cloud, software and internet services to our client’s accounts offices and bookkeeping systems. Many years ago we created a live real-time link to accounts office software, well before the software companies ventured . We always work proactively with software and IT companies to get the best from your accounts and bookkeeping software package.

As you would expect from an innovative accountancy practice we are now at the forefront of the HMRC Tax Digital revolutionary changes about to impact all businesses and individuals in the next 18 months. We are proactively making this HMRC forced change a positive rather than a negative transition for clients and when appropriate bring the efficiency and excitement of a paperless digital office to our clients. The digital tax revolution is happening, so don’t get left behind and suffer costly and disruptive late changes.

Accountants

We have a team of dynamic, qualified and expert accountants working across a wide range of industries and specialisms.  We bring a diverse range of ideas to your business aims and strategy.  We help our clients to reach their goals by understanding what they want to achieve in business.  We also work closely with banks, investors and other professionals to help our clients accomplish those goals.  We are recognised training providers for chartered accountants in both the leading ACA and  ACCA qualifications, and we invest in our people so that you get the best also.  Money can’t buy passion and we are passionate about what we do!  We offer compliance services but also offer so much more with bespoke accountancy procedures to enhance and help to develop your business to work for you.

Tax Specialists

DSM are big savers when it comes to taxation. For example : recently in January 2016 we took a desperate call from a business facing income tax bills of £481,000 as just advised on the last minute by their reputable big firm accountant and left with a only few days to find the money for payment on 31stJanuary, or else large HMRC fines would add to their misery. We took up the gauntlet and with our tax & business expertise we managed by 31st January to reduce their tax bills to just £5,000. Yes an incredible legitimate actual tax saving of £476,000 for this business and you will not be surprised to hear we very quickly became their new accountant and more good news still is we are continuing to make substantial tax savings for this client through some excellent tax planning.

Not to be complacent, we also underpin our own tax specialist services with Abbey Tax, the UKs leading provider of Tax, PAYE and VAT investigation insurance and tax knowledge.

We will advise you on specialist legitimate tax saving areas, such as R&D Tax Relief (Research & Development) which is still available to small businesses but is on the way out for larger businesses. Please don’t miss out!
