OF KINGSBRIDGE I
f you were to ask an accountant for the single most important piece of advice they could give anyone in business, it would have to be …’don’t try and muddle on by yourself – ask for help from the outset!’ And that is even more critical
now with the introduction of Mak- ing Tax Digital. Thankfully, if you are already a
client of family practice Parrott & Parrott, then you will have the reas- surance of knowing you are in safe hands who will have everything under control for you, as they have been doing in one guise or another since the late 1940s. The practice’s names, faces and
places may have changed through- out the intervening years (although some of their original client businesses have remained with them throughout!) but they remain a family firm in every sense of the word giving them a profound understanding of, and empathy with, the very many other small to medium sized family businesses across the area. “Their problems are often our
problems… the only difference is we know the solutions!” explained Lisa who, with parents Steve and Jackie, comprise the present Parrott connection. “Sometimes Dad, who may have worked with more than one generation of a family, has to be less of an accountant and more of a counsellor, especially when it comes to the direction in which a family business should go – often, having an unrelated but informed third party involved in these

‘Whilst of course we deal with preparing Annual Accounts and Tax Returns, at Parrott & Parrott we offer a far broader range of services designed to suit the individual requirements of our clients.’
critical discussions can avoid family tensions and help their businesses develop and grow.” Recognising that as a profession-
al service, shop front premises were unnecessary (“no-one walks past an accountants and thinks, I’ll just pop in and see what they do”), this prompted a move out of the town centre to premises that has dedicat- ed parking right outside for visitors and a bespoke working space suit- able for their needs. This includes ground floor meeting facilities for their less mobile clients which has proved hugely beneficial.
“Their problems are
often our problems… the only difference is we know the solutions!”
“Basing ourselves at South Hams Business Park, Churchstow was an excellent move in so many ways and as even more of our work becomes digitised, there really is no need for a High Street presence. Making Tax Digital may cause some businesses, who perhaps need to catch up with the times, initial financial outlay and time setting up the necessary systems but it should reap benefits and show savings in the long term”, added Lisa. To minimise that expense
and reduce the time, effort and headaches many SME owners are dreading, Parrott & Parrott can offer a complete package to ensure you are fully HMRC compliant. “My father, Steve, who is the
main accountant within the prac- tice, is also an I.T. consultant, giving us the opportunity to set our clients up with everything they need to run digitised accounts, payroll, VAT, etc – we literally supply the laptop with all the software installed and ready to go. Mum Jackie provides the relevant training on site for op- erators to ensure they are confident and competent running the system and then offers a remote telephone help service should help be needed along the way – often it is just a simple query which can be readily answered in moments.” Between the individual mem-
bers, Parrott & Parrott’s services cover every possible aspect of accountancy, working in specific areas of expertise – Jackie and Lisa for payrolls and client bookkeeping, in house and on site depending on clients’ needs. Steve in particular is supported
by another important member of the team - Senior Accounts Produc- tion Executive Sue Elliott. Sue may often be the client contact in the first stages of accounts preparation before Steve becomes involved and when seeking advice on payroll, PAYE, general bookkeeping or VAT. “However, one thing we do not do
is give investment advice – for that, we signpost to experts in their field.” Whether starting out or already established; think you know what you are doing or are in a hapless mess, you really do need Parrott & Parrott. Don’t delay – make that contact now and then relax…
