What kind of accounting services do you provide?
Anything up to year end accounts for onward submission to your accountant - this can be the basics (bookkeeping; credit control and sales invoicing) all the way through to management accounts; cashflow forecasting and business analysis. For a more in depth look at what we offer see our Services info below.
Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Why would you not if you can? Knowing your figures will drive you to further success.
What do you love most about your job?
Building relationships with our clients, understanding their business and then watching it flourish when they take the decisions based on sound information.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We wanted to be masters of our own destiny - running a business is hard work but the rewards it can bring are worth it (not just financially!)
Why should our clients choose you?
We are not a big firm - we want to get to know our clients and work with them for the duration. Most of our clients have been with us for many years - they trust us to make sure we will do our best for them.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes - we prefer to! Online accounting packages are set up so that this can be a reality - both customer and bookkeeper can access the information wherever they are and this provides the ability to have up to date information when it's needed. Most suppliers will now produce invoices electronically which means these can be uploaded into the software (no more hunting around for paper copies!). Even dealing with HMRC is predominantly electronic!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Working remotely allows us to be in contact with our customers by phone or videocall - there is no need to meet (outside lockdown) unless as a customer you prefer to.
