Bookkeeper or accountant or both?

We find that there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about the terms bookkeeping and accountants or the perceived role and cost of each. Commonly this includes :-

╝ A belief that by having an internal bookkeeper there is no need to have an accountant
╝ That accountants don’t do bookkeeping
╝ That accountants will be much more expensive for bookkeeping than a bookkeeper.
╝ That bookkeeping is different from preparing accounts

The reality is that technology has removed a lot of traditional differences in terms of using a bookkeeper and accountant and radically reduced bookkeeping costs. Many accountants are happy to do the basic recording of day to day transactions.

Accountants such as ourselves offer fixed fee packages using the excellent software now available which in many cases can save money from separating out the tasks of bookkeeping from accounting and using different suppliers.

Small business bookkeeping obligations

Failure to keep records can result in a fine of up to £3000 and disqualification as a Company Director so it is important to understand your obligations.

According to the Companies Act all companies must keep “true and fair” financial and accounting records for at least 6 years and in some cases longer such as if a transaction covers more than one year’s accounting period or if you have bought something that is expected to last longer than 6 years like equipment or machinery.

Receipts and invoices detailing all money sent and received by the company must be kept as well as details of all assets owned and any debts the company owes or is owed.

Details of stock owned at the end of the financial year and the stocktakings used to work this out must always be available and details of all goods bought and sold throughout the year and, unless you are running a retail business, you will also have to keep a log of who you bought and sold to and from.

Confusion about what bookkeepers do

There is nothing inherently complex in understanding bookkeeping. It is essentially the efficient and comprehensive keeping of records and recording day to day financial information. In terms of tasks, bookkeepers will typically :-

╝ Be responsible for billing of goods or services.
╝ Recording monies received.
╝ Recording invoices received from suppliers and paying suppliers.
╝ Employee payroll.
╝ VAT records and possibly VAT submissions.
╝ Record information utilising double entry accounting principles,

This means you get the benefit of a professional in your own premise, without going through the hassle of a recruitment agency or hiring someone full time. Instead, you can focus on what’s most important to you – the success of your business.

☼ Choose the Bookkeeping Service that’s right for you:

◘ On-site - a qualified bookkeeper will work at your office exclusively

◘ Both On and Off-site (a mixture of the above tailored to you)

1. Need an On-site Bookkeeper?

We can provide your business with one of our own bookkeepers – in London or anywhere in the UK. This bookkeeper will work regularly on-site, or as a one-off to handle your bookkeeping requirements. All you need to do is provide the workspace and paperwork storage, software and other resources. This is can be an ideal solution for the slightly larger company or organisation.

2. Off-site Bookkeeping - made simple

You outsource the bookkeeping. We do it all for you.

╝ Contact us about your bookkeeping requirement for more information on our fees.

Most businesses are required to produce a set of accounts at least once per year. These accounts will form the basis for the tax return which tells HMRC how much tax is owed.

Aside from action within your set of accounts. Accounts can tell you how well your business is doing and mounts being a requirement, as a business you can benefit greatly from carefully considering the informality highlight areas that need to be addressed. For example, if you sell products or offer a service and your accounts show that your margins are too slim you may decide to increase your prices or negotiate harder with your suppliers to increase profit and keep your business healthy. This is just one example from among hundreds or possibly thousands of why a good set of accounts can help both you and your business. There is a vast amount of information contained within a set of accounts that can be utilized to improve your business.

Accounts can be produced as frequently as you need them. So, if you require frequent up to date information about the performance of your business then monthly management accounts will possibly be best suited for you. However, if your business is very small and you have a rough idea of how well you are doing then you may only want the statutory annual accounts.

Why not give us a call so that we can help you decide how frequently your business requires accounts to be produced?

It is nearly always better for a professional to produce your business’ accounts because an accurate and comprehensive set of accounts will be of much more use to both you and your business, and will ensure that you are paying the correct amount of tax to HMRC.

We hear about, and indeed experience first-hand, horror stories whereby business owners have completed their own accounts to save money only to find that in the end it has cost them much more. This comes usually in the way of penalties and interest charged by HMRC for underpaying tax, or by not claiming for all of the expenses and allowances the business was entitled to claim and overpaying tax.

Producing accounts can be very complex and it can be easy to make mistakes, this is why it is nearly always better to hand it over to a professional and get on with the more pressing task of running your business!

╝What’s involved with compiling your accounts?

Your accounts are a report based upon the bookkeeping of your business, whether you have completed the bookkeeping yourself or we have completed the bookkeeping on your behalf. Before we start work on your accounts, we will thoroughly check the bookkeeping to ensure that there are no mistakes or omissions.

From your bookkeeping records we then produce a set of ‘working papers’ which will be used to make all the necessary calculations required to turn the bookkeeping figures into a full set of accounts.

Your accounts will then be passed over to another Senior Accountant for them to double check all work, and produce a series of recommendations for you if any have been found. These recommendations can be things like whether or not it is beneficial for your business to be VAT registered, a recommended change to the structure of your business or even things like whether or not a pension review would be beneficial.

Your accounts will be produced using our standardised professional template and will be presented to you in either paper format or as a PDF for you to review them. You will then be given the opportunity ask us any questions you may have about the figures given and anything else you are unsure of. Once you are happy with the accounts, and any amendments have been made, the tax return is produced and submitted to HMRC. It’s as simple as that!

╝ How much does all this cost?

All of our competitively priced accountancy packages include a full set of accounts along with many extra services and benefits to help your businesses.

Need an On-Site Accountant?

If you require an accountant at your place of work, it’s easy – you simply provide the workspace and paperwork, software and all other resources, and we provide you with a qualified, experienced and professional Accountant. This solution is ideal for the slightly larger business that wants to keep their accounting services in-house.

Off-site Accounting Services

Want to outsource your accounting services? We use specialist software and resources to build, maintain and report on your Finances, making sure you meet all your deadlines. We manage all your accounting, produce your Accounts and pass them back to you, for discussion. You can even send us your records via a cloud based facility such as Dropbox, E-mail or post.

On & Off-site Accounting Services

Require a blend of accounting services? This more bespoke arrangement suits businesses who need to see an Accountant regularly on-site – often for reporting – but where the day-to-day accounting doesn’t necessarily need to be completed on-site.
