INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES - we 'love' care homes! IMS provides a full range of management services to aid the professional development of care homes - from monthly book-keeping and management accounting, to tax and succession strategies, and capital allowance recoveries. We are .......... MORE THAN JUST ACCOUNTANTS .......... We offer the day to day services that are the nuts and bolts of your business, namely payrolls, book-keeping/accounting, and the recording of your fees..... but then what do you do with all this data? That's where IMS comes into its own, for we presently deal with 40/50 care homes, mainly in Devon, and we know what the industry norm is, and what others are doing. The Sage system allows instant comparisons with last year - fee levels, labour costs, and the range of repairs and renewals. Our in-depth knowledge of the care home sector, allows us to have our own views on what should or should not be happening rather than simply following the rules and standards. In short we help and advise in your business as if it were our own - "what would I do if I was running the care home; what would I be thinking of doing; what would I aspire to; where do my family come in?" A speciality of IMS is in Capital Allowance Reviews, particularly in the acquisition costs, for this is frequently omitted by "standard" accountants who either don't understand the strategy, or can't be bothered with it.... ..... it really is something special, and effectively gives you a total tax break of 2 or 3 years from acquisition. Yippee .......!!!
With more day to day matters,
there are certain technicalities that can favour care homes - notably
council taxes, utilities and VAT.
