Determining your bookkeeping service needs
The level of work and quality standards required for bookkeeping can vary greatly between small and large businesses.
So, it is important to first carefully examine the existing bookkeeping system, determine the changes that may be needed, and come up with a plan for implementing changes and delivering what you need as quickly as possible and with minimum disruption to your accounting.
Support and bookkeeper oversight services
It may be that you have good basic procedures in place and you need us to provide support and oversight to ensure any queries and more complex or unusual items are dealt with correctly. This is a more ‘light touch’ approach and works well if your transactions are simple, and/or you and your team have some accounting experience.
Our bookkeepers can help ensure that VAT and other taxes are accounted for correctly at the point of entry, which is a common area where errors can arise. In addition, in order to have figures in your software that give a true representation of the business as you go, accounting entries such as depreciation of assets, work in progress, stock adjustments, and allowances for tax need to be made.
Our bookkeeper involvement allows this to happen and ensures you have accurate results all of the time and not be caught out by big surprises when you get to year end and everything changes!
Outsourced bookkeeping service
Alternatively, you may not have the experience or time to do bookkeeping in-house, and prefer us to do it for you. This is a popular option for some key reasons:
- It saves time and resources for you, so that you can focus on your business.
- It ensures the accuracy and quality of data and performance measures/reports you have access to so you can make decisions based on the right information.
- It ensures tax submissions such as VAT, CIS, PAYE, etc, are correct.
- You’ll have peace of mind that your financial accounts are in order with our bookkeeper services
We’ll make bookkeeping easy for your business
We would work with you to identify the best way to make bookkeeping as easy as possible from your business’s point of view. A typical service arrangement for a small business might be:
- Sales invoices are raised by you (although we can offer this service).
- All bank reconciliations and cost recording are done by us, keeping everything balanced and reconciled regularly.
- You send us invoices/receipts for costs via Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar email, or we set up an ‘accounts@’ email address for your business, to which we have access and collect information ourselves.
- We look after VAT returns, payroll, CIS returns, pension filings, and any similar compliance obligations, always keeping you in the loop about what is due to be paid and when.
- We can also provide monthly or quarterly management accounts to ensure you know how the business is doing and easily identify key figures or trends.
Tailored accounting systems
This is just an example of our bookkeeping services, and there are numerous approaches and systems we can implement to deliver the solution you need. Many small businesses will have their own particular accounting requirements, so we always tailor a specific system for you to ensure you get exactly what you need from our bookkeepers.
Add-ons and integrations = efficient bookkeeping
We often use add-on accounting software to ensure the bookkeeping system we build is as efficient as possible, and technology plays a central role in this. Products with Xero integrations such as Receipt Bank, GoCardless, Paypal, Revolut, Auto-Entry, Transferwise, Shopify, Woocommerce, and many more allow us to link systems for efficient data transfer and consistency, saving time and maximising financial accuracy.
