Do I need a company secretary?

All companies have company secretarial responsibilities. It is no longer necessary for private limited companies to appoint a company secretary.

The directors of a company can undertake the recording, reporting and filing duties or the company secretary. Alternatively, they can assign them to another staff member or commission an external party to compete the duties for them.

What could happen if my company fails to meet its company secretarial obligations?

Non-compliance with the company secretarial filing requirements could lead to the company being struck from the register of companies. Restoration to the register can be a costly procedure.

Our company secretarial service takes care of your filing requirements and deadlines so you don’t have to, giving you peace of mind.

Our businesses, like many others are fast-moving and the need to react to changing tax, VAT and legislative landscapes makes the whole process even more challenging. What we like about WMT is they have the breadth of knowledge and experience to cover our needs, but are also willing and able to be very responsive and innovative in their suggestions to us. It’s important to us to work with a firm for whom the service is clearly an important part of the delivery and we have that with WMT.

David Cox: Buildriver Limited

WMT have supported Firstco in many ways over the years; from our day-to-day finance needs, through to some of our biggest opportunities and toughest challenges. We were glad to have them working with us through our succession planning and MBO. Getting the balance right is a real challenge in those situations and WMT have always made a point of understanding the individuals involved and their motivations and concerns. Their ability to see the issues from different perspectives helped to keep the project moving and complete the transaction successfully.

Mike Gray: Firstco

The WMT team really lived up to their promises. We’d been with our previous auditors for several years and although change can be challenging, the professionalism and assuredness of the firm’s partners gave me the confidence that the transition would be smooth – and it was! The on-site audit team were equally professional, entirely pragmatic and extremely personable – in short they just ‘got it’. They worked well with our outsourced accounts function and kept me up to date with how the audit was going. That way, any potential concerns were addressed whilst the team were still on site. The successful audit is only half the story though. In the short period of our partnership to date we have received well informed and appropriate advice on a range of issues from corporate restructuring to VAT. We are entirely happy with our decision to appoint WMT as our auditors and advisers.

Clive Hetherington: Vacherin

I have worked with WMT for a number of years now and throughout that time my business has developed and grown substantially. The team at WMT have always been on hand to give advice and answers queries when needed, but above all WMT offer a great level of service and a friendly professionalism that is invaluable.

Deryane Tadd: The Dressing Room

I can’t fault the team at WMT, they have been dealing with Talley’s accounting needs from audit to tax planning and consultancy for many years now and do a fantastic job. They offer sound advice and are always available when needed.
