Day to day record keeping is the key to timely financial information, and ensuring that it is kept up to date can be difficult especially during holiday periods or maternity leave. We offer a service which will help you over that hurdle by staffing any shortfall caused by temporary increase in work or illness. We have experience in manual systems, sage line 50 and quickbooks. A free of charge preliminary meeting will ensure that the record keeping is maintained seamlessly.

We are also able to file your documents on line, which will for 2005/6 give you £250 rebate from the government. With costs as low as £10 per month can you afford not to.

Management Accounts

With the financial year end accounts being prepared up to 9 months after the end of the period, it can be too late to rectify problems within the business. By preparing management accounts on a quarterly basis, trends and potential problems can be identified at an early stage and resolutions found. We can prepare accounts in a pre agreed format that gives you the information you want to manage the business. The format may well be different to that at the year end, with greater detail being provided on for example sales, or staff productivity.
