Report
It is impossible to run a successful business without financial records.
HMRC insist that all sole traders and limited companies keep financial records for at least 6 years and can produce them for inspection if required.
Tax records need to be completed on time to avoid HMRC penalties and if you have the information your tax will be calculated accurately.
It is as likely that with inadequate records you are paying too much tax, as not enough.
Good up-to-date records give you information to run your business.

Bookkeeping for Self-employed and Sole-traders
Report
Sole traders and self-employed entrepreneurs have many tasks, to-do lists are long, business life can be very busy.
Keeping your financial records is just one more task for you to perform, something else to fit into your busy schedule.
Doing your accounts is not only important because you are legally required to and you need the information for your tax return but is very helpful, often vital, to run a successful business.
Being in control of your finances is more than watching your bank balance, it is knowing what should be coming in and out, are you being paid on time, have you forgot to pay a bill, do you have all the paperwork, is everything included that can be set against your income to reduce your tax bill.

Bookkeeping for Limited Companies
Report
Are you a Directors of small limited companies who finds it difficult to make the time to keep your bookkeeping up-to-date?
In theory bookkeeping for a Limited Company is simpler than for a sole-trader as there should be a clear separation between the owner and company finances.
Are you struggling to achieve this separation?
I can help you to keep your accounts separate and comply with company law on a month-by-month basis.
I will liaise with your accountant to provide end of year accounts that will minimise their time and therefore the cost to you.

I have many years experience of using Spreadsheets (including Microsoft Excel) and have the ability to design these to suit you, or to analyse your data in a way that is useful to your business.
If you have no preference I will discuss the best package for your needs.
