MAAP specialises in providing a one-stop, and very comprehensive financial and management accounting, tax, and business consultancy service to a small number of selected clients.
If you are at that stage in your business growth cycle where you know you need the services of a competent financial director but cannot yet afford the high salary tag that comes with that role, then we offer a far less expensive option for you to consider alongside all the normal services a modern, high-tech, accountancy firm offers. This naturally includes financial reporting, VAT, payroll, corporate and personal tax services.
Owing to our extensive experience of implementing accounting software systems for clients, we have already planned and provided for a smooth transition to full compliance for those of our clients who must start reporting under the new HMRC MTD scheme in April 2026. If you remain unprepared for MTD next April, you still have time to plan what you should do, but we strongly recommend you leave it no later than September if your business or rental income affairs are complicated, and certainly no later than January 2026 at the latest in all other cases. For most people the transition to MTD will be surprisingly east, but this is certainly one exercise that you do not want to wait to until the last minute.
Our main client base is around the BCP/New Forest region, but we do extend across the central South Coast and up the M3 corridor to London for clients that value our services.
Our senior directors also offer their services as non-executive directors. An indication of the depth and breadth of the expert advisory services a client of this firm has access to.
We always welcome inquiries from perspective clients. No client is too small, and we are honest enough to tell larger SME clients whether we can competently service their needs. Call us on 01202 474545 to discus what we can do for you.
All self-employed and landlords with a relevant income of over £50,000 must start reporting under the new MTD reporting regime from April 2026. Compliance requires the use of HMRC-approved accounting software to record income and expenditure, and submit an on-line summary report every quarter. Many clients may start off resenting the imposition of MTD upon them, but they soon recognise the benefits of adopting the necessary administrative systems, and wish they started the journey earlier.
MTD unfortunately mandates you must use HMRC-approved software from vendors such as Sage, Xero, or Quickbooks to name but three. They do what they say on the box, but you can waste a lot of time and money finding out which product best fits your needs. Then there is the common mistake of not understanding the established accounting controls needed to ensure you produce accounting records the HMRC will accept. Let MAAP guide you in what you must do to produce accurate and compliant accounting records.
MAAP have been designing and implementing corporate business management and accounting systems for over 35 years. More recently we have specialised in securing and retaining ISO:9001, ISO:45001, and ISO:14001 accreditations for our clients operating in the social housing refurbishment sector. Proving competency, particularly in the built environment sector, is fast becoming a priority if firms wish to remain on their clients' approved contractors lists.
Most firms rely upon the sales pitch that it is easy to secure professional standards accreditations, and we would agree it often turns out to be the case. The frequent mistake made is underestimating how difficult it is to retain them. We can help senior management actually deliver on the policies they put in place and avoid a developing a culture of noncompliance that may lead to corporate failure. A journey that should never have been started.
