About Us Technology-driven, forward-thinking accountants Experienced accountants working alongside modern technology, providing a fresh approach to accounting. Our Story Founded in 2024, Pulse was created to meet the demands of clients who were tired of the traditional accounting approach. We noticed that many of our clients had the desire for an innovative online accounting service, so we gave them just that. August 2013, we set the business away as a member of the accounting franchise, Certax. Rebranded in May 2021 then following an separation of a partnership, April 2024 we launched independently as Pulse. We understand that papers, books and physical copies of accounts are a nightmare, even excel can become messy. We created Pulse in order to help you keep all your accounts in one place. Pulse is a modern outsourcing service. We want to be able to take the tedious tasks off your hands so you can focus on what you do best, growing your business. Our team is based at Units 8 & 9, Parsons Court, Welbury Way, Newton Aycliffe, DL5 6ZE, with plans to support businesses all over the UK. We already have over 1,500 clients but plan to expand further, to share our revolution with as many businesses as possible. Our goal is to help your business thrive, by allowing you to keep your finger on the Pulse of your accounts. Our Values Partnership: We build lasting partnerships with our clients, working closely to help them achieve financial success.

The overall experience of being a customer with Pulse has been excellent. The specific feature worthy of recognition has been the account management role. Derry O'Kelly, DirectorMEP BID Management Limited 1. Why is it essential for tradespeople to maintain accurate financial records? Maintaining precise financial records is crucial for tradespeople to monitor income, manage expenses, and ensure tax compliance. Accurate records provide a clear picture of your business's financial health, aiding in informed decision-making and strategic planning. They also simplify the process of preparing financial statements and tax returns, reducing the risk of errors and potential penalties. Moreover, well-organised records can be invaluable when seeking financing or investment, as they demonstrate professionalism and financial stability to potential lenders or investors. At Pulse Accountants, we offer accounting services tailored to the specific needs of tradespeople, ensuring your financial records are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with current regulations. ​ 2. How can tradespeople effectively manage cash flow? Effective cash flow management is vital for the sustainability of any trades-based business. To manage cash flow effectively, it's important to monitor income and expenses regularly, ensuring that outgoing payments do not exceed incoming funds. Implementing strategies such as prompt invoicing, setting clear payment terms, and following up on overdue payments can help maintain a steady cash flow. Additionally, creating a cash flow forecast allows you to anticipate periods of low cash reserves and plan accordingly. Pulse Accountants provides expert advice on cash flow management, helping tradespeople develop strategies to maintain financial stability and plan for future growth. ​ 3. What tax obligations do tradespeople need to be aware of? Tradespeople are subject to various tax obligations, including income tax, National Insurance contributions, and possibly VAT, depending on turnover. It's essential to understand which taxes apply to your business and ensure timely and accurate payments to avoid penalties. Keeping detailed records of all income and expenses is crucial for accurate tax reporting. Additionally, being aware of allowable deductions can help reduce your taxable income. Pulse Accountants offers comprehensive tax advisory services, ensuring tradespeople understand their tax obligations and take advantage of any available reliefs or deductions, thereby optimising their tax position. ​ 4. Should tradespeople operate as sole traders or limited companies? The decision to operate as a sole trader or a limited company depends on various factors, including the size of your business, financial goals, and risk tolerance. Operating as a sole trader is simpler and involves less administrative work but offers less protection against personal liability. Conversely, forming a limited company provides limited liability protection but comes with increased regulatory requirements and administrative responsibilities. Pulse Accountants can help you assess the pros and cons of each structure, considering your specific circumstances, and guide you in choosing the most suitable option for your business. ​ 5. How can tradespeople ensure compliance with VAT regulations? If your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, currently set at £85,000, you are required to register for VAT and charge it on your services. Compliance involves accurate record-keeping, timely submission of VAT returns, and payment of any VAT due. It's also important to understand which VAT scheme is most beneficial for your business, such as the Flat Rate Scheme or the Standard Rate Scheme. Pulse Accountants offers VAT services tailored to tradespeople, assisting with registration, choosing the appropriate scheme, and ensuring compliance with all VAT obligations. ​ 6. What are the benefits of using accounting software for tradespeople? Utilising accounting software can streamline financial management for tradespeople by automating tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting. It enhances accuracy, saves time, and provides real-time insights into your financial position. Additionally, many accounting software options are compatible with Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements, ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations. Pulse Accountants can advise on the most suitable accounting software for your business and assist with setup and ongoing support, ensuring you maximise the benefits of digital accounting solutions. ​ 7. How can tradespeople prepare for tax season effectively? Effective preparation for tax season involves maintaining organised financial records throughout the year, understanding your tax obligations, and being aware of filing deadlines. Setting aside funds regularly to cover tax liabilities can prevent cash flow issues when payments are due. Additionally, seeking professional advice can help identify allowable deductions and reliefs, potentially reducing your tax bill. Pulse Accountants offers tax planning and preparation services, ensuring tradespeople are well-prepared for tax season and can fulfil their obligations efficiently and accurately. ​ 8. What expenses can tradespeople claim as tax deductions? Tradespeople can claim various business expenses as tax deductions, provided they are wholly and exclusively incurred for business purposes. Common deductible expenses include tools and equipment, vehicle costs, travel expenses, professional fees, and office supplies. Understanding which expenses are allowable and maintaining detailed records is essential for accurate tax reporting. Pulse Accountants can provide guidance on allowable deductions specific to tradespeople, ensuring you claim all eligible expenses and optimise your tax position. ​ 9. How can tradespeople plan for business growth? Planning for business growth involves setting clear objectives, understanding your market, and managing finances effectively. Developing a detailed business plan, investing in marketing, and building strong customer relationships are key strategies. Additionally, ensuring your financial systems can support growth is crucial. Pulse Accountants offers business advisory services tailored to tradespeople, providing strategic insights and financial planning support to help you achieve sustainable growth. ​ 10. What are the risks of managing accounts internally as a tradesperson? Managing accounts internally can pose several risks for tradespeople, including errors due to lack of expertise, non-compliance with tax regulations, and inefficient use of time. Without professional knowledge, it's easy to overlook allowable deductions, misreport income, or miss filing deadlines, all of which can result in penalties. Additionally, time spent on accounting tasks is time taken away from core business activities, potentially impacting productivity and profitability. Engaging professional accountants for tradespeople can mitigate these risks, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and allowing you to focus on your trade. 11. How can an accountant help you avoid these risks? An accountant plays a crucial role in helping tradespeople manage their finances effectively while avoiding potential pitfalls. Firstly, a professional accountant ensures compliance with tax regulations, reducing the risk of penalties due to misreporting or late submissions. They keep up-to-date with tax law changes, ensuring you benefit from available deductions and reliefs. Secondly, an accountant improves financial accuracy. They maintain detailed and accurate records, reducing the likelihood of errors that could result in overpaying tax or being flagged for audits. Additionally, they provide valuable financial insights, helping you understand your business’s profitability and cash flow trends. Moreover, an accountant saves you time by handling bookkeeping, tax filing, and financial reporting. This allows you to focus on your trade without worrying about administrative tasks. Finally, a tradespeople accountant can advise on business structure, growth strategies, and investment decisions, ensuring you make informed financial choices. At Pulse Accountants, we specialise in supporting tradespeople with expert financial services tailored to their unique needs. 12. Why choose Pulse Accountants for your accounting?
