Accounting and bookkeeping with a can-do Attitude
Freeing you Up
to do what you love
It’s not what can you do for me, but …
What can I do for you?
If you want to do some or all of your own bookkeeping and just need someone to show you the basics – I can set up remote training sessions on an ‘as you need it’ basis. >>more
Selling online? Shopify/Paypal/Amazon/Etsy/more – these can sometimes be complex for bookkeeping, particularly if you are VAT registered and/or have high sales volume. >>more
Sales, purchases, reconciliations, banks and credit cards – I go the extra mile to make your life easier
and if you are reselling or manufacturing products for sale, costs and inventory are likely to be important to you. Accurate up to date bookkeeping means you always know where you are. >>more
Plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, builders, electricians, gardeners
– regular up to date bookkeeping keeping you on top of your paperwork. >>more
Quarterly VAT checks pre-submission, or full VAT accounting as part of bookkeeping. Cash or accrual, flat rate scheme or a limited cost trader, I can help ensure your VAT is correct – and that includes making sure you don’t pay more than you need to!
Putting your accounts together and calculating your taxable profit, completing and filing your self assessment. You provide the paperwork, I present your completed ready to file self-assessment. I can file it for you too if you wish.
Basic payroll service for owner managed businesses (OMB) with director payroll, and a few employees on a basic salary. Auto-enrolment pension uploads included.
A learning curve too far?
Looking after your accounts possibly and probably isn’t your cup of tea! It’s just something that comes with doing what you’re best at – which is your business.
So finding someone who knows what they’re doing and someone you can rely on is, no doubt, what leads you here, and I’d like to say I can help. I enjoy helping business owners by doing what I’m good at, leaving them to do what they’re good at, and so being successful together – creating a win/win situation.
I am flexible and approachable, and interested in how I can help.
With hands-on experience of the challenges and practicalities of the business world beyond the books, I am able to offer additional insight and provide thorough and tailored wrap around bookkeeping services.
Your day to day bookkeeping
I’ll keep on top of your accounts on a regular basis so you don’t have to think about it, I’ll keep you in touch of course and let you know if there’s anything which needs your attention, otherwise I will keep it running smoothly in the background for you.
…a stress-free process from the moment you hand over your paperwork
VAT preparation & filing, VAT checking
Ensuring you correctly record your input and output VAT is super important as it means you pay the right amount of tax. To pay too little is to defraud HMRC and carries severe penalties, and to pay too much means, well, less money in your pocket.
…all that will be in hand and your VAT filing deadlines will be met
Accounts for sole traders
Preparing your year end accounts and calculating your business profits determines what tax you will have to pay in your self-assessment, which is usually prepared shortly after your accounts. Either way, both have to be completed, filed and tax paid by 31 January of the following year.
…rest assured I can have done what’s needed all in good time
Payroll and auto-enrolment
Running a payroll carries additional duties and legal responsibilities for employers, and along with auto-enrolment there are several regular compliance tasks that need to be carried out monthly or quarterly, and annually. Whether you have a director payroll only, or are have a one or more regularly paid staff needing pensions and payslips – I can help set this up and keep this rolling for you with RTI submissions to HMRC, payslips for your staff and pension contribution submissions, and informing you of your PAYE payments due to HMRC.
Cloud software set up & training
If the phrase ‘Cloud Accounting’ sounds a bit too corporate for you – don’t be misled, most of the cloud accounting software around is specifically designed for you and your business – whether you are a new business, sole trader, partnership or limited company. Let me guide you through the process.
I work with Xero – the beautiful online accounting software – that lets you input, access and keep and eye on your financial information wherever you are, 24/7.
Trustworthy bookkeeping
I enjoy helping owner managed businesses – sole traders, partnerships and limited companies – free up their time and have a stress free paperwork process.
Head in the clouds - the way of the future
