Accounts, Tax and Management Information for Ferndown Companies
Supporting the Businesses That Keep Ferndown Working
Ferndown grew quickly during the twentieth century on what had been open heathland, and it is now one of east Dorset’s main centres of employment. The Ferndown and Uddens estates beside the A31 form one of the largest industrial areas in the county, home to manufacturers, distributors, trade counters and workshops.
Potter & Pollard are a short drive south in Bournemouth. We act for owner-managed companies and growing employers, taking care of compliance and giving directors the figures they need to run the business well.
More Than a Set of Accounts Once a Year
For a company with stock, staff and premises to pay for, year-end accounts only tell you what has already happened. Directors on the Ferndown estates often want to know where they stand now, and what the next six months look like.
Regular management accounts and a realistic cashflow forecast answer those questions. They show the highs and lows in your cash position before they arrive, and they are what a bank will ask to see if you are looking for funding for equipment or a larger unit.
Management Accounts
Timely, accurate reporting so that you can deal with issues as they arise rather than discovering them at year end.
Forecasts for Lenders
Cashflow forecasts with the reports and documentation that banks and other lenders require for funding applications.
Corporation Tax Planning

FAQs
Accountancy FAQs for Ferndown
Can you handle our accounts, tax and payroll together?
Yes. We offer a complete range of accountancy and tax services, and your account is assigned a dedicated manager, so one person understands how the different parts of your business fit together.
What Corporation Tax rate will my company pay?
Companies with profits of £50,000 or less pay the 19% small profits rate, and the 25% main rate applies to profits above £250,000. Between the two, marginal relief gives an effective rate somewhere in between. The tax is normally due nine months and one day after your accounting period ends.
We need finance for new equipment. Can you help with the application?
We can prepare the cashflow forecasts, reports and documentation that banks and other lenders ask for, and talk you through what the numbers say about the affordability of the borrowing.
How often can we have management accounts?
As often as is useful to you. Regular monitoring matters most during periods of growth or difficulty, and we can either do the work for you or help you extract the data from your own systems.
Will you come to our premises in Ferndown?
Yes. We are flexible about visiting clients at their workplace, and you are also welcome at our Bournemouth office, where there is ample free parking.
