Our Process

If you do not like or have the time to use bookkeeping software then we can certainly help! Sometimes our total cost for year end filing work can be less than the amount some people pay for just the bookkeeping software and before any year end fees are added.

We prepare your accounts from a simple download of your bank transactions in excel or csv format.  These are easy to obtain from your online banking access.

We take those transactions and the description normally gives us enough information to categorise it as income or a certain type of expense using our own inhouse system.

Once your bank has been categorised we summarise the numbers, make adjustments and prepare the accounts and tax return for your company or sole trader business.

You send us a download of the transactions and maybe answer a few questions.  You will keep all of your invoices incase you get an HMRC review, we do not need to see those invoices provided all of the bank transactions are wholly and exclusively for the business.

Unless there are an excessive number of transactions we will prepare the accounts like this for the fees shown on the website fee schedule.

We decide if the numbers of transactions is reasonable when we first get in contact. If you have had accounts prepared for previous periods we will also need to understand those.

If you are using bookkeeping either on a system like Xero or Quickbooks, or on your own system developed over time we can take those numbers to prepare the year end accounts and tax return.  If you file your own VAT that is not an issue.

We can normally be given access to your bookkeeping software which will allow us to download reports and check numbers.  We can then make any adjustments before preparing the accounts.

If you prepare your numbers using your own developed system we would just ask you to send those details in a file.  We can review them and make any additional adjustments.
