Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping tailored to suit the needs of your business

Whether you are just starting up or a more established business we have the experience and expertise to help you

If required, we will be pleased to review your business’s accounting systems and will make recommendations to help you improve your accounts processes. This might include tips on how to get more from your current software, or recommendations for new software. Software is developing at quite a pace and there are a lot of options to choose from. There are many different software providers, and there may be benefits to your business in choosing a traditional desktop based system, or a cloud based software. Both these have pros and cons in terms of flexibility and ease of access, speed of processing and the availability of management reports. With HMRC’s forthcoming requirement for quarterly tax submissions (‘Making Tax Digital’) it will be important to ensure that the software you choose is able to do these submissions for you.

Whatever your requirements we will be pleased to offer our advice

You may be looking for a system that works alongside handwritten records, something that integrates with other industry specific software, a cutting edge process that captures images of your expenses and posts them to your accounts system automatically, or anything in between.  Whatever your requirements we will be pleased to offer our advice. We are Sage specialists and also deal with Xero, Quickbooks, Kashflow, Opera, and others.

We can review your accounting systems

We will be happy to help you review or set up effective filing systems and highlight any areas in existing systems that we feel could be made more user friendly or efficient.

However, if you would prefer that Pennine Accounting deal with all these issues for you then we will be very pleased to provide a fully comprehensive out-sourced accounts service. You won’t necessarily need any accounts software; you can save the expense, as we will process all the work for you. We can provide you with accounts information however and whenever required, leaving you to focus your time where it is needed.  Alternatively, if preferred we can provide tailored support for your ‘in-house’ accounts staff on an ongoing basis. We can work on your premises if preferred.

Newer businesses can benefit from a free consultation to help you get your accounts systems up and running

If you are a newer less established business and would like to ensure your accounts are organised from an early stage, then we are very happy to help you get things up and running. We provide a free consultation for newer businesses, and will help you to keep your initial costs as low as we can.

Our bookkeeping is professional, high quality, and efficient

Keeping your accounting systems and accounts work up-to-date will help you make good business decisions. Our bookkeeping is professional, high quality, and efficient and many of our clients tell us we’re ‘part of the team’ and that’s how we want our clients to feel as it evidences our commitment and the value we deliver to our clients’ businesses. Good bookkeeping should enable your business to keep the year end accounting costs down, so if you’re concerned about the cost of final accounts then please consider the benefits that a professional bookkeeper can bring.

HMRC is aiming to have businesses keep digital records in future, starting with VAT registered businesses over the VAT threshold from 2019. If your business may fall into this category then you could be compelled to submit your accounts quarterly in future. Having accurate accounts will be important so you should review your business and accounting systems to ensure you are ready. As a bookkeeping client of Pennine Accounting we will ensure you are well prepared in advance.
