Bookkeeping is the act of keeping a record of your business’s financial transactions, providing a clear picture of where your business is at. This includes a record of all sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. With these records, bookkeeping provides the information from which accounts are prepared, enabling you to strategically decide the next data-driven move for your company.
When income and expenses are organised properly, information is easier to track, helping you to make key operating, investing, and financing decisions to ensure your business runs as smoothly as possible.
Accurate bookkeeping is also important for all businesses irrespective of size in order to comply with the legal obligations set by HMRC. If a business fails to keep adequate records, they can face a hefty fine.
If you are self-employed, you are required to send a yearly self-assessment to HMRC. Having efficiently organised accounts will help to make this process easier and take away some of the stress that can be involved.

Our management accounts service can help you make important day-to-day business decisions by providing you with key financial and statistical information from your records. There is no legal requirement to have management accounts, however businesses tend to use them to build a clear picture of their financial position and how they are performing. A monthly set of accounts will give you an accurate picture of your business’s financial status, allowing you to pinpoint problem areas and plan for future goals.
