We are a small business ourselves so we know first hand the issues that you face day to day. Like you, we know there never seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything you need to do. On top of that, tax and payroll rules keep changing and you have to re-learn skills you thought you’d mastered, the latest being HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) forcing most VAT-registered businesses onto digital record keeping and VAT submissions. Thankfully technology and systems provide many of the answers to these problems and in recent years the number of systems aimed specifically at small businesses has increased exponentially. Our favourite is the online accounting system Xero, which was one of the first to be ready for MTD, although we're happy to work with other systems such as Sage and FreeAgent. It's not just about being compliant though, efficiency gains from systems like Xero can make a real difference to you and your business - since adopting Xero ourselves we have saved many hours every month, time we can now spend advising clients! As Xero accountants we are committed to bringing you, our clients, the best in bookkeeping and accounting technology, allowing you to concentrate on your business in the knowledge that you have a team behind you making sure the numbers are taken care of.
