We have the skills and capabilities to create this function as an efficient platform living within your business. The essence of the finance function is:
We are very flexible, we work with you if you need a fully outsourced finance function or whether you already have an in-house Bookkeeper, Financial Controller, Accountant or Finance Director and need only one of our services. We make it so that you have the data & information that you need to focus on improving your business and growing it without being bogged down in the finances.
The Tax Analysis function turns over every stone to find any pockets of tax saving you can access, giving you the assurance that everything has been done that can be. This almost always finds tax-saving opportunities for clients who have never been through this with us before.
This service usually takes only 30 minutes to 1 hour of your time where we ask you questions about your personal and business situation (and factors/scenarios which may happen in the future). What you’ll probably find at this stage is you’re being asked things which you’ve never been asked before! We then perform a full analysis and get back to you within 1 week on all the schemes and areas where tax savings apply to your situation, we almost always find significant benefits for companies/individuals who have never used this service before.
Many underestimate this area, however, having quality data that is accurate and up to date regarding your finances is essential to growing your business. You need to enter sales and purchase information accurate and on time, record where the cash is going, and have a full analysis of profitability. Products/Services profitability, Department Profitability, Individual Staff profitability etc. All of this can be determined from the bookkeeping function if maintained correctly.
There is technology out there for small companies providing what used to be reserved only for large companies. They bring visibility and automation to a bookkeeping platform. These tools streamline the process which means our services are priced very competitively and provide substantial value.
This service will be real-time, meaning that your reconciliations will be made every week. A nice output of this is that you can have weekly management accounts. The idea is that all the quality bookkeeping is being done in real-time which allows for the management accounts to be produced very frequently.
