Services

Six things, done the same way every month. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is estimated.

    Statutory accounts, prepared and filed, with a one-page summary you can read.

    Limited companies

    Bookkeeping

    Payslips, pensions and filings on a fixed calendar, run on the same day each month.

§ 03

How a month closes

An example month for an example client, closed the way we close every month.

Example · month 09

Every line reconciled. The difference is always zero.

At each month end we match the bank to the books line by line. Nothing is carried forward unexplained.

§ 05

How we start

Three steps, usually inside two weeks.

  1. 1

    A first meeting

    One hour, no fee. We read your last accounts and tell you what we would change.

  2. 2

    A fixed fee in writing

    One page: what we do, when we do it, and the monthly fee. Nothing hourly.

  3. 3

    A named pair

    One accountant prepares, a second checks. You have both direct numbers.

Bring last year's accounts. We'll read them with you.
