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 bookkeeping records 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.

Navigating VAT? Let me be your guide. If your annual turnover exceeds £85,000, VAT registration becomes a must.
