Do you wish your CA would add more than just numbers to your business?

At Hogg & Thorburn we know how to add real value to our clients' businesses.

Today's successful accountancy practice is much more than a simple number cruncher or tax advisor. Today's successful practice is a business advisor, guiding and assisting you to improve and develop your business.

At Hogg & Thorburn we understand how to add real value to our client's business. From corporate tax matters to personal tax matters, from business start-ups to IT consultancy, our sound and impartial advice will make sure that your business is running well and is prepared for the way ahead, leaving you with more time to enjoy the benefits.

With over 50 years experience advising Border's businesses, Hogg & Thorburn are excellently placed to handle your commercial affairs. Builders, doctors, architects, dentists, farmers, lawyers, shopkeepers and many others have all seen the positive results that Hogg & Thorburn can bring. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies all benefit from our advice. No matter what you do, on what scale, we can assist you in any of the areas listed below.

Our core business is preparing Annual Accounts for your business and claiming any allowances or relief available to reduce your tax liability. We deal on your behalf directly with the Inspector of Taxes and advise you on the correct possible tax payable.

Even the smallest business can benefit greatly from computerised book-keeping. Our specialists can advise you on the most suitable systems to buy and how to optimise their use. We are the local SAGE agent and operate a book-keeping bureau.

Wages and VAT returns -
Avoid the automatic penalty. We run a reliable, confidential payroll service including the completion of year end forms P35 and P14. We will also be pleased to assist in completing your VAT returns, thus taking the worry out of VAT and wages inspections.

Personal taxation and tax returns -
Our personal tax advisors will relieve you of the task most people dread. The introduction of self assessment makes this more worthwhile than ever.

These are specialised areas requiring advice and explanations, reliefs, computation and valuation. Seek our advice if you are planning to dispose of assets such as land, buildings or shares.
