Our client’s company was forced to rapidly re-structure, which resulted in an office closure. It was unexpected, so there were absolutely no strategic plans in place to deal with the situation.
Bookkeeping & Accounting
You run your business, but the admin is running you.
The receipts you meant to sort, the bank feed you haven’t reconciled, the VAT return that always lands in your busiest week. The list goes on. There’s just always something more important, so it piles up.
It might not be hard, but it’s costing you. Your evenings. Your weekends. The quote that went out late because you were stuck doing receipts. Big decisions made without being sure what the numbers are saying. Then, every so often, a tax bill lands that you didn’t see coming.
What if you had someone in your corner, keeping you on track?
That’s where we step in. No magic. Just a bookkeeper who knows your business and stays on top of it every single month.
No more wondering whether you’ve claimed the right expenses, or remembered to recharge a client for something you bought on their behalf. No more chasing late payers yourself. We chase the money you’re owed and get it into the bank.
And when a big decision is frying your brain, you’ve got someone to talk it through with.
• Can you afford to take someone on?
• Is that new contract worth it once the costs are in?
• Is it time to put your prices up?
• Should you register for VAT now, or wait until you hit the threshold?
Imagine the weight off your shoulders when you open your accounts software and know exactly where you stand.
Have you ever wished you had your own finance person on the team, without adding to the payroll?
Hand it over and stop thinking about it.
Most people see bookkeeping as a chore they do for HMRC. Fair enough. But kept up to date, it starts working for you too.
• Unpaid invoices get spotted and chased within weeks.
• Receipts get dealt with while you still remember what they were for.
• You’ll know what tax is coming, so you can put the money aside.
• When the bank asks for figures, they’re ready.
At year end, your accounts and tax returns are built on books that are already tidy. No shoebox, and no last-minute hunt for missing invoices.
Happy with your accountant? We’ll work alongside them and hand over a clean set of books. Or, if you’d rather have everything in one place, we’ll do your year-end accounts and tax returns too.
You choose how much you hand over. Some clients give us the lot. Others keep part of the bookkeeping to save costs, and we train them and check their work.

Starting out, or starting over?
If you’re new to business, we’ll set Xero up properly from day one, so a backlog never builds up in the first place. If your books have got away from you, we’ll bring them up to date and keep them there. No judgement, we’ve seen worse.
A few months from now, you open Xero and understand what you’re looking at. VAT deadlines pass without drama. And when something big comes up, you pick up the phone to someone who already knows your figures.
Let’s have a chat.
Book a quick call (I promise not to keep you longer than 30-minutes) and we’ll look at where your books are now and what would help most.
Or ring us on 0141 442 0042.
Client case study
We used our consulting experience to create an innovative business plan to manage the integration of staff and the changes in workflow. This meant newly-recruited staff had immediate knowledge of the company’s work, blueprint and future plans; they found it easier to fit in.
It proved to be a smooth, successful change for the whole team, and efficiency was greatly improved. Existing team members regained confidence in the company and felt part of a thriving business once more.
