MEET OUR TEAM

About Our Team

APA has recruited qualified accountants and they are employed through the associated company in Albania.

For the past 3 years the staff in Albania has assisted a few accountancy practices with payroll, bookkeeping and accounts preparation.

Our staff is also fully trained to meet the requirements of the accountancy practices that require our services. Some of them are qualified accountant certified by the IFA. We use on a daily basis all sorts of accounting softwares like Quickbooks, Xero, TaxCalc, Payroll Manager, Bright pay etc.

To ensure efficient workflow and easy access, we have teamed up with V4Cloud, an IT company who manages the VPN and all firewalls, to ensure that the process is GDPR compliant and preserve complete privacy and confidentiality of the information being processed, including the monitoring of telephone calls and time spent of the job

Payroll

Payroll is one of the areas that most practices suffer due to lack of staff. Our dedicated staff in Tirana are well trained in all aspects of payroll, including liaising with clients to obtain payroll information and processing the payroll on weekly, fortnightly, 4 weekly or monthly basis. After confirming the payroll with the client, the Real-Time Information (RTI) is submitted and the client will receive a pay-run report via email. Every month the client will receive details via email of the PAYE due and instruction on how to settle the liability via bank transfer, direct debit or card payment.

The bookkeeping process

The bookkeeping process is carried out via cloud software, such as QuickBooks online and Dext and again our staff are fully trained on these cloud software. All paperwork is scanned via Dext or saved into the system, thereafter posted into QuickBooks online. Our staff have also undertaken some training in other accountancy cloud based software and can easily adapt to any practice’s needs. The staff are highly fluent in communicating with clients whether in English, Italian, Albanian or German. They are used to dealing HM Revenue and Customs by telephone on a daily basis, whether obtaining information or advising and updating clients details. All staff in Tirana have access to our on-going training program, in particular relating to Anti-Money Laundering. The training is carried out on a weekly basis and conducted by our UK based Staff to ensure that they are fully versed in the current UK Taxation rules and regulations.
