FAQ
-
Having both a bookkeeper and an accountant benefits your business in different ways. A bookkeeper takes care of the daily financial details like recording transactions, managing payroll, and organising invoices, which keeps your financial records accurate and up-to-date. This allows your accountant to focus on bigger financial tasks like analysing data, preparing taxes, and offering strategic advice. By having a bookkeeper regularly maintain your records, your accountant can work more effectively, especially during critical times like tax season.

Starting with my bookkeeping services is simple and straightforward. First, I'll schedule an initial consultation to understand your business's unique needs and goals. During this meeting, I'll discuss your current bookkeeping setup, any challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve by outsourcing your bookkeeping. After assessing your requirements, I'll customise a plan tailored specifically for your business. Once I have everything in place, I'll guide you through the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition. From there, you can focus on growing your business and spending more time with your family, while I take care of your books.

I run a small independent bookkeeping business, so i understand that every client's needs are unique. That's why I offer tailored pricing based on the specific requirements of your business. To provide you with accurate pricing, I'd first conduct a thorough assessment of your bookkeeping needs during an initial consultation. This allows me to understand the scope of work involved and customise a plan that fits your budget and goals. My pricing is transparent and designed to offer you value while ensuring your financial management needs are met effectively. Contact me today to schedule your consultation and receive a personalised quote for my services.

To begin, I'll need access to your financial records, such as bank statements, previous tax returns, and any other relevant financial documents to ensure that I am being totally compliant. I will guide you through the process of gathering and sharing these securely as well as onboarding you securely on to the system.

I typically provide monthly financial reports and have review meetings either monthly or quarterly, depending on your preference and business needs. I am also available for additional consultations as needed. Just get in touch and we can find a time to suit us both to catch up over a coffee!
