Getting to the Ballymena office
Around half an hour across from Ballymena, and we're in the same council area, so we're at Mid & East Antrim business events fairly regularly.
The business base in Larne
Larne's economy is shaped by its port and the ferry link to Scotland, which supports logistics, freight and haulage, alongside a manufacturing base and the usual local trades, retail and services.
Businesses here move goods between Northern Ireland and Great Britain routinely, which since the Windsor Framework means dealing with a dual VAT and customs arrangement that a GB-only accountant genuinely may not have encountered.
- Logistics & freight
- Manufacturing
- Marine & port services
- Trades

What we do for Larne businesses
Most of the work here is making sure the VAT, evidence and customs position matches what's actually crossing the water.

GB to NI trade
Handled by people who meet it every week.
- 03
Freight and logistics costing
Fuel, vehicles, driver payroll and operating licence costs, priced into jobs at margins that don't survive guesswork.

Compliance
Accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT returns and payroll, filed on time, with someone to ring when a shipment raises a question.
Questions we get asked
I move goods GB to NI regularly. What do I need?
At minimum, clarity on which movements need declarations, whether you need an EORI number, and what evidence you have to keep and for how long. The dual arrangement means the answer differs depending on where goods end up, so it's worth mapping your actual routes once rather than deciding shipment by shipment.
Is a GB accountant enough if I trade through the port?
Often not — GB firms simply don't meet the Windsor Framework day to day. The mistakes we see are treating NI as if it were GB for goods VAT, or missing that services and goods follow different rules. Either one is expensive to unwind.
Can you handle customs as well as the accounts?
We handle the VAT and accounting treatment and we'll tell you plainly where a specialist customs agent is the right answer instead. Declarations at volume are a specialist job.
