How we operate and what you get back
You send us your financial data on a regular basis, this can be either by sharing a Dropbox, scanning and emailing documents, post or a combination of all methods.
We then sort and post everything to your accounts. Part of our work will include reconciling the bank accounts and creditor and debtor ledgers to the statements. This enables the identification of any anomalies, missing paperwork and ensures that your debtors are paying you.
Another key task is reconciliation of your accounts with HMRC for PAYE and VAT. We will ensure that your HMRC accounts agree with ours and bring any discrepancies to your attention so they can be dealt with promptly.
We provide you with monthly or quarterly reports. Cash statements, aged debtor and aged creditor reports are usually monthly, the financial reports such as Profit and Loss account and Balance Sheet are usually quarterly. However we can adjust the frequency to your preference.
In addition we can meet on a regular basis to run through the figures if you like to explore the accounts in greater detail.
