What are the benefits?

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 on a regular basis will not only give you peace of mind that you are meeting your obligations to HMRC it could also reduce your accountancy costs.

Reduced 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.

Specialised accounts experience

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.

Proven accounts 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.

Don't just take our word for it...

Nick Aldrich, Only The Brave

Only The Brave have used Pebbles Bookkeeping for a few years now and we treat them instinctively like an integral department of our business.

I have worked with Sean for over two decades in my previous businesses and when Sean and Diane went on their own it was a no brainer to get them involved with our day to day accounting.

Pebbles manage our bookkeeping, expenses, credit control and PAYE and have a keen eye for detail and help us spot important financial matters before they become issues.

Their integrity and honesty are unquestionable and as a result, Pebbles are an asset to our business and will continue to work with us for many years to come.

Anne-Marie Armstrong, Amberry Marketing

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.

Wayne Dinning, Managing Director, SD Waste Paper Limited

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.
