Why do I need a Bookkeeper?

Most people don’t go into business to do accounts and bookkeeping (Well I did but then that’s what I love doing.)  You probably started your business doing something you love doing.  So when did all that paperwork creep up on you?

• Are you behind on sending out invoices or getting paid?
• Are your bills and receipts sitting in a pile in the corner or under the bed, or in the footwell of your van?
• Do you know what your profit is or what you’re spending?
• Are you so busy categorising transactions that you can’t focus on your sales or on growing your business?
• Do you dread the call from your accountant at the year end?
• Do you do your bookkeeping at weekends when you could be playing football with the kids or having a lazy day with the family?
• Do you spend more than a few hours a month on bookkeeping tasks?
• Do you know if you need to register for VAT, what VAT schemes are available and how to choose the right one?
• Do you know how to go about hiring your first employee, how to register for PAYE and whether you need to pay into a pension for them?

Maybe you need to hire a bookkeeper!

A well-trained bookkeeper will do everything from Data entry and bank reconciliation to making sure you pay your bills and chasing your customers to make sure you get paid.
