Accountants for
recruitment agencies.
For recruitment agencies that run a limited company — with temps to pay, clients to invoice and cash flow to manage. Accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and the funding picture kept clear. Online across the UK, or in person near Oswestry.
What Finstem does for a recruitment agency.
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from the bookkeeping, reviewed with you, and filed at Companies House on time.
Corporation tax
The computation and the CT600 from the same figures, with the payment date confirmed in writing.
Bookkeeping
Bank feeds reconciled through the year so the numbers are current when a decision needs them.
Tax planning
Pay, dividends and capital spending reviewed before the year end, while they can still change the bill.
Questions from recruitment agencies.
Q1We pay temps weekly but clients pay us monthly. Can you help with that gap?
That funding gap is the classic agency problem. Finstem keeps the bookkeeping current so you can see it clearly, and works with your invoice finance or factoring so the numbers reconcile properly.
Q2Do you handle payroll for our temps and contractors?
Yes. RTI payroll, the reporting and pensions are handled each month. Where workers are placed through their own companies or umbrellas, Finstem makes sure the treatment and the records are right.
Q3What about VAT on our margin?
VAT on agency supplies has its own rules depending on how you contract. Finstem checks your position when the company is taken on and on every return, rather than assuming.
Q4What does switching involve?
One email from you. Finstem requests professional clearance and your records, sets up the software and the HMRC authorisations, and confirms every filing date. Two to three weeks.
Online across the UK.
In person if you’re nearby.
Most clients never need to visit. Your records live in cloud accounting software, we talk by phone or video, and you deal with one accountant who replies within one working day. If you’re near Oswestry, meetings in person are there when you want them.
- Works anywhere in the UK — cloud software, online meetings, same-day replies
- Switching from another accountant takes one email
- You deal with the same accountant every time — not a queue
