We have been looking after local businesses in the town, across the county and beyond for almost 125 years and with a high ratio of partners to staff are able to provide high levels of client service.

Put simply, Gibson Booth is committed to helping you grow your business and improve your bottom line. We can play a key role in this process as we help and advise with the financial and other aspects of your business. We are uniquely placed to identify un-realised potentials in your business and to suggest ways to fulfill them. We can also help to identify potential weaknesses and suggest appropriate remedial action.

Audit

Though business owners traditionally regard the annual audit and preparation of annual accounts as a cost centre - a necessary evil that adds no value to the business - we strive to transform it into a profit centre.

Mergers & acquisitions

Sometimes the best way to improve your competitive position in the marketplace is through a merger or acquisition.

Payroll and human resources

Company secretarial

The last thing you need as a busy business owner is to use up valuable time and resources making sure you are complying with the Companies Act.

Corporate finance

Whether yours is a new or a mature business, ensuring that you have the necessary finance is essential for achieving your objectives.

Corporate recovery

It is a well known fact that many business failures could have been avoided if the owners had taken the right advice at the right time.

Corporate tax planning

Corporation tax represents a substantial part of your trading costs. Moreover, the increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities.

International services

No man is an island; and these days few businesses are. Rapid globalisation, the growing importance of the EU, and the burgeoning growth of the Internet as a business medium are all conspiring to add an international dimension to UK businesses.

Strategic planning

Everyone knows that a successful business must plan ahead, but all too often the pressures of keeping the business going on a daily basis mean that strategic planning is not given the attention it needs.

VAT

Value added tax is one of the most complex and onerous tax regimes imposed on business - so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT.
