We run and strengthen the accounting engine: ledgers, payroll, inventory, receivables and the close. The aim is a set of books you can take to a lender, a buyer or NRS without a scramble.
If the books are late, everything downstream is theatre — tax, audit, the board pack. We run or co-source the accounting engine: ledgers, payroll, inventory, receivables and the month-end close, on digital systems rather than a folder of spreadsheets.
The test is simple. Could you take this file to a lender, a buyer or NRS this week without a scramble? If not, that is the engagement. We work with finance teams nationwide who need the close to be boring again.
Who this is for
- Entities whose books are late, so tax, audit and the board pack are theatre
- Finance teams that need a co-sourced close rather than a folder of spreadsheets
- Owners who want a file they could take to a lender, a buyer or NRS this week
What is included
- Outsourced or co-sourced accounting — we keep the books, or sit beside your team
- Bookkeeping and general ledger — day-to-day recording, coding and a ledger that can survive audit
- Financial statements — monthly, quarterly and annual packs management can use
- Month-end close and management packs — on a calendar, reviewed before they leave
- Payroll — wage calculations, statutory deductions and payroll tax reporting
- Payables and receivables — invoice tracking, supplier payments and collections
- Bank and card reconciliations — discrepancies found and cleared
- Budgeting and forecasting — realistic budgets and performance against plan
- Chart of accounts and system set-up — QuickBooks, Zoho Books or Xero
- Year-end and tax-season support — books organised so the tax computation is a close, not a reconstruction
How the work runs
Every engagement follows the same four steps: listen, scope in writing, do the work, stand behind it. The calendar and the named partner are in the letter — not in a follow-up email that never comes.
Questions we are asked
- Do you take over the books, or sit beside the team?
- Either. Outsourced or co-sourced — the test is the same: could you take this file to a lender this week without a scramble?
- Which systems do you work on?
- QuickBooks, Zoho Books and Xero — or the ledger you already run, if it can produce a close. We will say if it cannot.
