Payroll Services
I can provide a full range of payroll services, from setting up a payroll scheme, calculating the weekly/monthly salaries, to preparing the annual reports for HMRC.
Management Accounts
Each business is as individual as we are, so I take the time to get to know your business and tailor a management reporting package to suit your specific needs. I pride myself on providing clear, uncomplicated, useful financial analysis helping you to make informed decisions.
Budgets & Forecasting
Knowing where you want to be is the first step to getting there. Forecasts are often required by banks/lenders prior to making an investment decision about your business. Budget setting helps you focus your cash management on specific ideals so you don’t lose sight as the year progresses. I can help you prepare meaningful figures which best reflect your aims and objectives.
Accounting Software Implementation & Training
I specialise in Xero, Sage, Sage Payroll and Quickbooks. However, I am well versed in a variety of accounting packages and experienced in evaluating your needs and suggesting the most suitable system for your business. This can range from a simple bespoke MS Excel spread-sheet (prepared by me) to full ERP packages. Where moving from one accounting package to another, I will manage the change-over and train/support staff using the new system.
