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.
Diane has been providing her services to my company for approximately 6 months now and I can honestly say that due to her assistance, my company is running a lot more smoothly than it has at any time over the previous 30 years that it has existed.
I would just like to say that I would recommend her services to any business, whatever the size, as I can only see that her services would be beneficial to any company that may choose to employ her services.
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.
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.
