Managing Accounts

Bookkeeping

Our qualified bookkeeper can assist small businesses, charities and sole traders with their bookkeeping, payroll and self assessment tax returns needs.

We offer:

• Basic accounts and bookkeeping, manual and computerised.
• Balancing accounts (often known as double entry bookkeeping).
• Processing sales invoices, receipts and payments.
• Sales/Purchase ledgers.
• VAT Returns.
• Cash Books.
• Bank Reconciliation.
• Profit and Loss accounts and Balance sheets.
• Self Assessment Tax Returns.
• Payroll Processing - PAYE, NI, P45, Year End Returns, P60, P35 HMRC Return.

For a modest amount, you can be confident of accurate, timely financial information, never incur a penalty for late payment of VAT or taxes and recover most of the money spent on bookkeeping at year-end with reduced accountancy fees.

Cost: From £15 per hour.

Independent Examination of Accounts

Independent Examination (IE) is an alternative to a full financial audit for smaller charities - a legally acceptable form of external scrutiny of your end of year accounts.

Independent examination is suitable for charities whose income is in the range of £10,000-£250,000. If your income is below £10,000 then there is no requirement to have your accounts independently examined. However, some organisations still choose to do so to satisfy members and funders.

An IE must follow 12 stages of Charity Commission directions, so for most smaller charities an independent examination provides very effective scrutiny. Our examiner, who is a member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners (ACIE), will provide a full written report of his findings.

Cost: Price on application.
