Bookkeeping & MI
At Leanbase Financials, we take bookkeeping considerably more seriously than most other accountants and we do our utmost to ensure all of our clients strive for excellent bookkeeping. We do not like to compromise on this.....for your own good!
This is because we understand that bookkeeping is the foundation of financial administration and, if it is not up to date or is in a mess, a raft of problems can occur. These problems include penalties from HMRC and Companies House, disputes with customers and suppliers, poor decision making and even total business failure.
Also, having a good bookkeeping system in place makes it easier for us to support you.
The level of bookkeeping you need will depend on your size, legal requirements and ambitions. You can go for a simple `compliance only` set up if you just want to do enough to fulfil with your legal responsibilities (e.g. complete tax returns and statutory accounts).
Alternatively, you can go for a set up that delivers management information (MI) for decision making like a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet (or balance sheet data like creditors and debtors), KPIs, budgets, etc.
To ensure you get your bookkeeping right we have two services from which you can choose.
Freedom To Focus scheme (Outsource solution)
The Freedom To Focus scheme is our outsourced bookkeeping service designed for enterprises who do not have the inhouse capacity (or desire) to do the bookkeeping /accounting and want to save on the costs of employing somebody to do it. Under this scheme we take care of your bookkeeping and accounting duties giving you the freedom to focus on the things you do best like generating sales and providing excellent customer service. As a cloud accounting set up, the majority of the bookkeeping will be done remotely using the bank feeds although you may need to snap, scan and/or e-mail us certain financial documents to on a regular basis (e.g. monthly or quarterly). At the end of every month/quarter we will carry out any optional extras (e.g. VAT, Payroll, Gift Aid, etc.) and produce your management accounts. If you have opted for our BPT Mentoring Programme we will set up all the programme requirements and ensure the appropriate performance data and reports are ready for each management/progress meeting. At the Year End we will complete the accounting cycle by using the data on the system to produce your statutory accounts and tax returns (if applicable).
Catch Up Clean Up
This service is specifically aimed at those businesses/ organisations whose current accounting records are in a mess and/or extremely behind. No matter how bad you think things are we guarantee to sort out any mess. Where this involves a change over from one accounting system to another we will handle the data transfer (opening balances, etc) and carry out parallel running where applicable. When we have finished you will have up to date profit/loss and balance sheet statements with all underlying transactions recorded on an accounting system. You can then start afresh using whatever bookkeeping service you think is appropriate (e.g. an outsourced solution or a part time bookkeeper). We urge any organisation which needs this type of help to contact us immediately for a speedy and affordable solution as the longer it is left unattended the harder (and more expensive) it is to fix.
