Remote bookkeeping – taking control of your finances while you focus on running your business!
Why do you need a bookkeeper?

Do you already have a subscription to any software? You just need to grant access, it is that easy! If you just need a little bit of help with your books or a full financial package, contact MB Bookkeeping today!
What is Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is an essential part of your business! It records all financial transactions and provides you with up to date accounts, so you always know how your business is performing while also meeting deadlines for VAT, CIS and tax returns etc.
- Sales – are you keeping records of all your sales, do you know who owes you money?
- Purchases – are you sure you are not
over spending on materials for jobs? Are your suppliers paid up to date? Are you claiming back the correct amount of VAT? - Bank Reconciliations – is everything in your bank correct? If these accounts need
reconciling at Year End, expect a bill from your accountant for doing this. - Are you
surprised at the amount of Corporation Tax you have to pay and do not have the funds to pay it? With the correct bookkeepingrecords you can ensure you don’t get a shocking bill and make sure you budget for your taxes. - Need to purchase some
much needed equipment, or transport? Up to date monthly accounts can help you get the finance, also provide you with the budget you have for this.
Unfortunately, if a business fails to keep adequate records, they can be fined by HMRC along with an additional tax bill if the records resulted in an incorrect tax return being filed. You can also end up with a hefty accountants bill at your Year End if they have to do all the groundwork on your books or sort out errors made from poor bookkeeping.

Services
Accounts Preparation
Need your Year End Accounts prepared for your accountant? This process can begin from bringing in a bag of invoices and bank statements or granting access to a fully reconciled cloud hosted computerised book-keeping data set, or anywhere in between.
Accountants can charge a high premium for sorting your accounts from a bag full of receipts or fixing errors.
Financial Reporting
I can provide you with monthly or quarterly Management Reports which will give you a
VAT Returns
If your turnover is £85,000 or more per year, you must be VAT registered. You must submit a VAT Return to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) every 3 months, even if you have no VAT to pay or reclaim.
The VAT Return records the VAT element of your sales and purchases and determines how much tax you owe to HMRC. I will produce all necessary VAT reports and double check all entries to make sure your return is correct.
Payroll
I can run and submit your Payroll for you and ensure you are paying the correct amount of PAYE and pension contributions.
Reconciliations
Reconciling an account often means proving or documenting that an account balance is correct. This ensures that you are not overstating your income or expenses by duplicating entries and that what has claimed to have come in and gone out of the company finances is correct.
Self Assessment
If the thought of filling in your own tax return fills you with dread, you’re not alone.
Many people find it complicated and time-consuming so it’s no wonder that almost 1 million people a year are fined for failing to return it to
