Bookkeeping

Automate your expenses

We make bookkeeping a breeze

Ultimately, business expenses will always cost you more than what’s stated on the receipt.

After all, it’s not just the coffee or petrol you’re having to pay for. The time you spend compiling your papers, updating your books and carrying out the bank reconciliation later down the line is costing you valuable resource too.

If you’re wasting time and money doing your bookkeeping in house - even if it’s just an hour or two a week - surely it would be better to spend that time elsewhere? You could be fee-earning. Networking. Building your business.

Let us take care of your bookkeeping, and you’ll win back those wasted hours straight away.

Easier expenses with Dext Prepare

To carry out your bookkeeping, we need a regular feed of your expenditure - but in the spirit of saving you time, we provide the easiest possible way for you to record your expenses.

We’ll set you up with Dext Prepare, a fabulous mobile app that allows you to simply take a snap of a receipt with your smartphone, then automatically extracts the key data such as the VAT value, supplier and date.

It means you don’t have to hang onto receipts for weeks on end, and you don’t have to manually input the data into Xero either. Dext Prepare pushes the information from your receipts straight into your accounts, ready for us to come along and do the bookkeeping and bank rec in the most efficient way possible.

We can do it quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily to suit you, ensuring your books are beautifully up to date whenever you log in.

Easier annual returns

Keeping your books neat and tidy throughout the year makes life easier when it comes to your statutory end-of-year accounts and corporation tax return. 

We can also provide these accounts for you and complete the return on your behalf - typically saving you more money on your tax bill than you'll pay for the service. 

Professional bookkeeping also sets the baseline for the production of  effective and insightful management accounts - a series of quarterly or monthly statements which look behind the numbers to see how your business is really performing against its goals.
