Why use Summ It Up Accountancy
I set out to offer a personalised bookkeeping and accountancy service for small businesses, and with just a handful of clients, Summ-It Up was started in 2009.
No person is the same so I decided to apply that theory to businesses; what accounting needs one business has are not necessarily the same as its neighbour.
So that’s what I did, and still do to this day. For every client, we look at your individual needs, what you want to get from your accounts and bookkeeping and we build our services and fees around this. Whether fixed or flexible, we don’t have a standard tariff for most of our services, the fees are designed around your needs.
We prefer to come and see you (in our local area of Martock, Yeovil and surrounding villages) or with the use of technology, we can meet face to face online for regular updates.
In a nutshell:
Professionally qualified
Offering a personalised approach
Individually tailored service to each client
Start up companies
Free initial appointment to see how we can best suit your needs
TESTIMONIALS
Just wanted to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for helping Mark with his accounts so efficiently, over the last 4 years. We wish you all the best for the future.
When I moved from employed to self employed and set up my business, I needed easy to understand guidance and turned to Summ-it Up for help – I’m so pleased I did! Everything was explained and the ongoing support and assistance is brilliant, everything is tailored to what I personally and my company needs. The accounts are a lot less daunting knowing I can turn to Summ- it Up! An extremely professional service! 5*!

I have worked in various large companies and whilst working full time, I studied towards the AAT qualification which I gained in 2008 and became a full member later that year. In 2009 I founded Summ-It Up, focusing on visiting clients on-site to produce that hassle-free service we all want.
As well as working in an accountancy firm, my background has covered a variety of industries including dealing with Sales Invoices for a large car transportation company, purchases for an alcohol wholesaler and then progressing to managing the project team, coordinating the reporting on all the returns and ullage, and supervising the implementation of a new software system.

What can you claim when working from home?
A lot of us work from home, but when it comes to what costs you can claim it can be a bit confusing as to what you can claim and what you cant.
So there are a few ways to works this out. The first and the most simple being to use the HMRC Simplified Expenses for the hours worked per month. Currently these are:
Hours Per Month - Flat Rate per month
25 to 50 Hours - £10
51 to 100 Hours - £18
101 and more - £26
So if you work 35 hours a week for 10 months and 60 hours a week for 2 months, you would claim £136 for Use of Home (10 months at £10 =£100 + 2 months at £18 = £36)
You can find more information on Simplified Expenses for Working from Home at www.gov.uk/simpler-income-tax-simplified-expenses/working-from-home
But is this the best way or would you be better off by working out your actual costs?
To base your claims on actual costs you need to find a 'reasonable method' or dividing up your costs - one way is the number of rooms, if you use a whole room(s) for your business. For example if you have 5 rooms in your home and use 1 as your office and for nothing else then you can claim 20% of your costs, or 1/5 (So on an electricity bill of £500 you would claim £100.
What costs can you claim a proportion when basing on actual costs?
Including but not limited to:
Heating
Electricity & Gas
Council Tax
Mortgage Interest or Rent
Internet and Telephone Use
You can find more information out at www.gov.uk/expenses-if-youre-self-employed
As always, if in doubt, ask your advisor
Happy Monday 🙂
