Bookkeeping & accounting for Medium Sized Businesses – providing you with quality information and advise – helping you make better decisions

For businesses with a turnover between say £200,000 and £5million companies will typically employ a bookkeeper on a full or part time basis and may have other administration staff who are involved in areas such as credit control etc. Most companies will be using an accounting system but for many they are not getting enough out of their accounts systems and procedures are often inefficient.

If we take the example of a full time book-keeper on an annual salary of say £25,000, we are confident that for less money, we can provide a solution which covers all the same work but with a mix of staff, such that you would have one of our Partners, a Management Accounts Manager and a Bookkeeper. We are able to do this by making efficiency savings and also recognising that what most business require is not one person but a mix of staff with different skills.

Some of the key advantages are;

• Regular involvement with Partners and qualified staff, we become much closer advisors, understand you and your business better and are able to give advice without extra time or cost
• Tax advice throughout the year. Advice is proactive and we are able to advice on matters which need to be acted on quickly as well as avoiding pitfalls in PAYE/VAT problems etc.
• Figures and advice are up to date so not delayed and you are able to act quickly. Accurate figures available quickly if needed for the bank or any other third parties.
• Format and detail of Management accounts improved to give more meaningful information and better analysis
• Money is not spent at the year end on correcting errors and year end accounts produced quickly and efficiently
• Several staff involved, so more cover for sickness etc
• A more professional approach and a better presentation of your company to external parties such as your customers, suppliers and bank.
• Saving of your own internal management time – no need to recruit/train or control book-keeping staff. Often very long hours worked by the Directors and saving time allows a more balanced lifestyle and clearer decision making
