Traditionally accountants help with your figures in a historical and reactive way. They would review what happened last month, quarter or year. At LeaskAS we're not in business to be a traditional accountant. Our number one priority is YOU, YOUR BUSINESS and helping you to maximize growth and profit by helping you take control of your business.

What kind of accounting services do you provide?
A comprehensive service. From bookkeeping through to strategic planning. I specialise in Cloudbased accounting, this means that you are in control of your accounts and we share the information in real time. Via these webbed ledgers I can ensure that you are recording your data correctly and that it is in the format you need for either legal submissions or analytical planning.
Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
As a business owner or manager you are more concerned to ensure that you are making the key decisions that drive your business growth or maintain the market share that you value. By delegating the number work and hiring a great accountant such as myself I will not only ensure that your historic records keep you legal, that the tax you are paying is efficiently calculated, that all the forecasting provides your business with a competitive edge but also that access to finance is secured when needed.
What do you love most about your job?
My job allows me to work with many fabulous teams. These people are driven by the desire to make their business the best in its own niche. I thoroughly enjoy bouncing ideas off these teams as to how to provide the best service that they deserve. As an outsider to the management team and their staff I am in the privileged position of being able to spot things when the team I'm working with can't see the wood for the trees. It is very rewarding to pass on my knowledge and see these companies thrive having applied my suggestions.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having worked for many years in large corporates I decided to set up my own business initially to get more of a work/life balance. However, working with smaller companies has allowed me to bring a smarter way of working that is taken for granted in the corporate world. By highlighting these shortcuts, processes or procedures, time and effort can be reduced by many SME and so make them more effective and efficient, This ensures that THEIR goals are identified and reached much quicker.
Why should our clients choose you?
A client has said of me "I have recently engaged Leask Accountancy Solutions and my only regret is not doing this a long time ago. Julia has a highly professional and ethical attitude to her work and my business. She demonstrates a clear understanding of how businesses work which is more than just adding up figures or making the bank account balance.
Julia uses the information from the figures to inform her suggestions in relation to growing a business, very refreshing.
In the short time we have worked together Julia has made suggestions which go beyond accounting, supported me personally in understanding the accounts and responded confidently to any requests, queries or concerns I may have had about my business and my accounts. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leask Accountancy Solutions as a highly competent professional service. "

Cashflow Analysis
Your cashflow is vital to the survival of your business. Most profitable businesses fail due to cashflow problems.
1) Make sure you know how and when cash is coming into your business. Do all of your customers pay on time, what happens if they pay late?
2) Know when cash is going out of your business and what for. Identify any cash commitments and forecast when you will pay them, for example, are you able to pay your next VAT and Corporation tax bills
3) Understand where your businesses cash is tied up. This could be highlight the fact that the money tied up in stock could be better used to pay suppliers.
4) Understand if all of your assets work effectively for your business? Could your empty office or desk be rented out to earn some nontrade income? Do you need to own all of your business’ vehicles and office equipment or could you lease these at a lower monthly cost? Virtual Assistants (VAs) are cheaper than employing staff and you can switch the associated cost on and off as needed.
