Every business needs to keep accurate records of their financial transactions by law. Incorrect records or late submissions to HMRC can lead to substantial fines.
Hiring a bookkeeper like Pebbles Bookkeeping & HR to get your books into order regularly will not only give you peace of mind that you are meeting your obligations to HMRC it could also reduce your accountancy costs.
Hiring an in-house bookkeeper can be expensive for the company. The costs of recruitment, salary, paying for sick absence, annual leave and other associated costs are all a drain on the business resources. In addition, employees require office space, IT equipment, training and other expenses. Outsourcing is cost-effective, as you pay for the services you require at the time when they are needed.
Your bookkeeper must have the knowledge and experience of your particular industry to be able to produce outstanding results. Outsourcing finance to a reputable provider ensures many years of experience in various sectors, with the required level of skill and expertise.
The operations and development of a business are necessary and demanding roles in a company and require full-time attention. The bookkeeping may only require attention for a few hours a week, but neglecting to fulfil those duties could have a high cost. Outsourcing will alleviate the time constraints, leaving you free to concentrate on other aspects of the business.
A bookkeeper records financial transactions, reconciles accounts, manages invoices, tracks expenses, and prepares financial reports.
Bookkeeping should be done regularly—weekly or monthly—to ensure accurate and up-to-date financial records.
Yes, bookkeepers organise financial records and ensure compliance, making tax preparation easier and more efficient.
Outsourcing saves time, reduces errors, ensures compliance, and provides access to professional expertise without hiring in-house staff.
“Pebbles Bookkeeping have been doing our bookkeeping for the past 2 years. Our Accountant recommended them to us and they are very professional, approachable and knowledgeble in the work they do. We send them our paperwork electronically and manually and they process it all efficiently in a timely manner.
“We have now been working alongside you with various clients. In some cases, we have introduced you to our clients and in other cases you have worked as part of our team. Every time we have brought you in you have done a great job. We now see you as an extended part of our team. You have proved to be professional, flexible and above all competent in getting the work done. We would not have any hesitation in recommending you again, and we look forward to working with you more in the future.”
Pebbles Bookkeeping took over our bookkeeping when a full-time member of staff left the business. Our accounts are relatively complex for a business our size because of the number of different suppliers and products we deal with, but Pebbles were able to get quickly up to speed. We have significantly reduced our costs spent on bookkeeping activity as a result. They have also helped us move to a new accounting system (Xero), which we are already seeing the benefit of, and we’re looking forward to working with Pebbles in the future to automate more of our back-office processes.
