Some of these sound familiar?

• you're a small business owner in the Southend, Essex area.
• You have a never-ending 'to-do' list.
• your VAT or other tax returns are sometimes late (with interest and penalty charges).
• you can't afford (or don't need) a full-time book keeper.
• the very thought of doing your company's bookkeeping brings on a sense of panic... or you just hate it.
• you're unable to get your paperwork organized... can't find anything?
• your business has grown to the point where you can no longer 'do it all'.
• you need more time to do what you do best... run your business!!

Why Hire a Book keeper on a Contract Basis?

Our simplified method of taking your paperwork and transferring it onto Simple Accounting computerised software will alleviate 99% of the emotional and time pressures that many small business owners experience when they even 'think' about doing it themselves. You provide us with the paperwork… and we;ll put it on the computerised system for you.

We can devise and maintain a paper based system if that's what you prefer. I'll advise you on the pros and cons after assessing the nature and scale of your business needs.

How much does all this cost?

Now there's a knotty subject.

Book keeping services can include:

• Conversion from manual to a computerised system.
• Implementation of methods to streamline your flow of paperwork.
• Recording of sales invoices and vendor expenses.

  - income and expense statement.
  - general ledger.

How Will it all Work?

you may find it easier to send your "bin liner of papers" to us and have us work at our office and then return the results to you… no mess… no fuss… and all organised.

Either way… together we can formulate the solution that will work best for your business needs.
