Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors
Naturally, as a firm of Chartered Accountants, we provide statutory and management accounts services to our retained clients, plus tax compliance services to both business and individuals (regardless of whether or not they have business interests).
However, it is the added-value trusted advisor services that we provide that reflect the purpose and driven approach of our team. We frequently work closely with other firms of retained accountants, who provide the core accountancy and compliance services, and where we are instructed in an advisory capacity only.
We provide a senior-led service, and because our team also operate as part of the FRP business (of which JDC is a part), this enables our team to provide additional advisory assistance relating to business growth, anticipated transactions, specialist share and business valuation requirements and most related specialist tax advisory and tax transactional services.
Advisory services
Business growth
We offer general business and strategic advisory services, remuneration planning, assistance with bespoke business plans, financial projections, forecasting, negotiations/discussions with lenders and other stakeholders, preparation and design of detailed management information and reporting packs, and mentoring services.
Specialist tax services
We provide specialist tax services in relation to general day-to-day queries across personal, corporate and employment taxes, to help our clients navigate complex UK tax legislation in a pragmatic and responsible manner, plus specialist tax services in relation to business succession issues.
Compliance and reporting services
At JDC, we always try to strike the right balance between the wider advisory support that we believe most business owners are looking for from an advisor, and the effective and efficient delivery of related accounts and tax compliance services that run alongside this essential support.
Valuation services
We provide business valuation services, either as standalone assignments or as part of broader advisory projects, often dovetailing with the tax advisory services we offer. Our expertise in this area is underpinned by the team’s ‘real life’ experiences as corporate finance advisors and they are often engaged as court appointed expert business valuers.
Employee incentivisation
We offer tax and valuation services, in relation to HMRC approved employee share schemes (usually EMI options) and also assist clients with more bespoke options, such as the introduction of ‘growth shares’ or planning ahead to a vendor-initiated management buyout.
