Are you ready for Real Time Information?

Does your business run a payroll? If it does, then you need to get ready for the biggest change to payroll since PAYE began... and that was back in 1944!

Real Time Information starts on 6 April 2013 and it's not optional. If you run a payroll then need to get on top of this now.

We've gathered together some frequently asked questions about RTI. For your reading pleasure, here are our answers!

Small firm, BIG giving, HUGE impact

We've already said a little about how Accountancy Edge exists to make its clients' lives better, and believes that businesses have the power to change lives.

One way we do that is by linking the transactions that make our business a success and our clients' businesses successes, with acts of giving through Buy1 Give1. That way each time we hit our targets and help our clients hit their targets, we do something extra to make the world a little bit better.

Recently we made our 100th act of giving through B1G1. 

Here's what B1G1's Chairman and co-founder Paul Dunn had to say about us:

"James Hellyer runs a small (yet insanely great) accounting firm in a delightful area of the UK — North Devon.
"He calls his firm Accountancy Edge. You’ll see why when you visit his site.
"And now James is the second accounting firm in the world to sail past a staggering 100 givings — and what makes that even more interesting is that he only joined B1G1 on 26 July 2012.
"So how did he get to 100? Simple: he gives every working day. And together with his team they spread their giving over multiple projects too.
"As you'll see in a while, the acknowledgement he got from B1G1 on the day he passed 100 givings was entirely appropriate..."

Buy 1 Give 1


At Accountancy Edge we believe in an inclusive society. When we help our clients succeed, and they help us succeed, this creates a responsibility to help people who are less fortunate than ourselves.

We believe that businesses have the power to change lives. That's why we've become lifetime business partners with Buy1 Give1. Using their giving platform, we have linked the transactions that matter in our business to acts of giving all over the world.

This means that each time we help one of our clients, they help us make someone who is less fortunate enjoy a better life. It might be giving a child in Africa access to clean water, or providing a family in South America with a sustainable income, or something else altogether.

So as we succeed and our clients, the wider world becomes a little bit better too.

The best part of it is, to make this happen, all you have to do is work with us.

Here are just a few things our clients have helped us do:

Getting your business ready for Real Time Information

Real Time Information (RTI)  is the biggest change to payroll in the UK since PAYE was introduced in 1944!

It starts in April 2013, so now might be a good time to get your business ready.

But just what is RTI and what do business owners need to do?

About Us!

Welcome to Accountancy Edge!

I'm going to tell you a little bit about us: what we do, why we exist and how we're different to other accounting firms.

We're ICAEW Chartered Accountants. This means we provide high quality accountancy, taxation and business advisory services to businesses and organisations, as well as helping them meet their regulatory requirements.

Our reputation is built on providing a higher quality service.

We work with a range of sole traders, partnerships, limited companies and charities.

In today's complicated business landscape, we're determined to use our knowledge to help our clients improve their bottom line and the amount they take home.

This means our clients can focus on running their businesses. This brings them peace of mind and ultimately helps them sleep better at night.

And that's why we're in business: at Accountancy Edge, we want to make our clients' lives better.

To show that we're not just accountants, we also go that step further and try and make the wider world a bit better. Each time someone lets us help their business, they also help us make someone on the other side of the world have a better life.
