Businesses in Newton Abbot choose Halliday Styan because we are responsive, proactive and focused on providing clear advice throughout the year rather than simply completing year-end compliance work.

Example of how we support clients in Newton Abbot:

We recently supported a Newton Abbot-based independent retail business that wanted greater confidence in its financial reporting and day-to-day bookkeeping processes. As the business continued to grow, the owners wanted more proactive support and clearer financial information to help manage the company effectively. We:

  • Reviewed and improved the bookkeeping records to ensure transactions were recorded accurately and consistently

  • Provided practical VAT advice and compliance support, helping the business apply the correct VAT treatment to specialist retail transactions and improve reporting accuracy.

  • Implemented improvements to cloud accounting processes to provide clearer and more reliable financial information

  • Worked closely with the business owners throughout the year to answer queries and provide ongoing accounting support

The result was improved visibility over the business's finances, greater confidence in the bookkeeping records, and a smoother VAT compliance process going forward. This is a typical example of how we support Newton Abbot businesses with both their compliance obligations and the practical financial advice needed to help them grow.

Clear advice, quick responses and a much more proactive approach than we had previously.

They’ve helped us properly understand our numbers and plan ahead rather than just reacting.
