The Pillars of Bookkeeping Supporting Your Business

business bookkeeping services

When you work with business bookkeeping services, you are entrusting the lifeline of your business – your financial side – to another individual. That includes accounts, financial data and tax-related matters of your company.

Whether you are starting a new venture or have an established enterprise, a professional bookkeeper has skills that act as the pillars of your company’s structure. As your business grows, the requirement for a professional for financial matters grows with it. Hiring bookkeeping services in Manchester provides several essential qualities that keep your business strong.

Professionalism

Every bookkeeper is obliged to be proficient with a certain level of accounting knowledge because the role involves managing repetitive and routine financial tasks promptly.

A bookkeeper has technical skills that reinforce their professional duty to their clients whilst helping them save valuable time and capital. Before hiring a bookkeeper, be sure to enquire about their successful track record with companies of similar size and industry. The more experience they have with businesses similar in size and functionality as yours, the more reassurance you have in them.

Software Ready

Bookkeepers are not just experts on financials – they are highly proficient in using the latest accounting software. This skill set helps to enhance efficiency and provide a more functional service to you.

A bookkeeper can leverage accounting software to streamline invoicing, payments and payrolls – helping you to understand how each aspect of your business coordinates with one another both financially and operationally.

Organisation

The one reliance that every bookkeeper should be able to provide is stellar organisational skills. Bookkeepers are experts in managing their time and workload whilst meeting their client’s needs in retrieving information and accounts when required.

Bookkeepers constantly are faced with instances where multiple financial operations are required at any one time, and the ability to do so in a calm and managed mindset is a true skill. Along with organisation comes the honesty that they deliver on finances and cash transactions.

Being honest and transparent is a pivotal guideline when it comes to being a bookkeeper. To make a business thrive, a bookkeeper is crystal clear with their dealings and responsive at all times. If you work with a bookkeeper that causes you to question them on the value they bring to your business, it is not a working relationship.

High-Pressure Partner

A professional in bookkeeping services have a lot of discipline towards stress and working under pressure. For bookkeeping to be a pillar supporting your business, how they handle the company accounts has to have the utmost respect and concentration.

What our clients say…

A massive thank you to Diane at Pebbles Bookkeeping & HR. You took the huge stress away from where do I start, with employee policies etc. You have created us a great, informative employee handbook, covering all necessary policies and risk assessments in a matter of no time and from the other side of the world too. I will definitely be in touch for any future help our company needs.

Lisa Heggie, The Gunnery

I changed book-keepers around a year ago because of a disagreement.  I employed Diane of Pebbles and having been with the same firm for 10 years, I was amazed by how easy working with Diane was.  Not only did the change save me money but also saved me time.  Utilising new technologies (to me) have massively improved the amount of money I can claim back in VAT and has made the whole process speedier and well as easier.  Even when Diane is chasing me for information she does in a friendly professional manner.  I’m thrilled to be working with her and would recommend her to anyone.

Steve Tanswell, Manchester Facades

I just wanted to thank you both for the help you’ve given me thus far in setting up my new cloud-based bookkeeping system ‘Clearbooks’.

Having used Microsoft Excel for more years than I care to admit, I had more than a few reservations when considering changing the way I managed my books, yet understood that I had to make the change sooner or later.

After an intense training session with Sean, (where I probably asked 101 questions), my fears quickly dissipated and I can honestly say that although it’s likely to take me a little while to really get to grips with the new interface, I’ve no doubt that this simple system will save me so much time and hassle in future.

And less time spent doing my books, almost certainly means more time with the family and an end to rushing around like a mad woman at quarter-end!

Thanks again and I’m looking forward to working with you again soon.
