In short, our aim is to provide our clients with a complete service, covering all aspects of their business including bookkeeping, VAT & payroll, management reporting and accounts (including cash flow & profit projections) as well as traditional accountancy and taxation services. We can be involved at any level, to suit client needs. We have vast experience in setting up both manual and computerised accounting records. All of our staff involved in this area have at least 5 years Sage experience (I, myself, have been a Sage re seller since 1992) so we know what we are doing in this field, and whether we are simply setting the system up for you, or your staff, to run, coming in once a quarter to run your bank reconciliation and VAT, or coming to you on a weekly or monthly basis to run your books and payroll for you, you can be assured of a professional and knowledgeable service, at all times.

What makes 1st Addition totally unique, is that every senior member of our staff, whether bookkeeping, accounts or payroll has successfully owned and run their own business, so we are ideally equipped to assist our clients with a ‘hands on’ approach to their operations. This is why we can say with confidence that; ‘we understand your business, not just your books’, because we’ve all been there. proactive, friendly.

At the end of the day, the quality of our services are of no benefit to clients, if they are not affordable, and we operate a set ‘menu’ of services and prices. proactive.
