I work with owner managed businesses who appreciate the importance of having a clear, up to date picture of their business finances, especially given the current climate. Time and resource pressures however, prevent them from being able to access this information in a timely manner. Regular collation of data and submission of VAT returns for example, become just another item added to an ever-growing list of tasks. My approach is to use cloud based accounting platforms and work alongside my clients collecting and collating data on a regular basis, enabling clear visibility of how their businesses are performing financially, coupled with the peace of mind of knowing that all the statutory submissions are taken care of. My main areas of expertise include;• cash flow and daily cash management• credit control • production of short and long-term forecasts • filing confirmation statements – annual returns• amending Shareholdings • updating Director and Head Office details. • production of monthly management accounts• reviewing and highlighting variances• working alongside the company accountants to compile statutory accounts. The best part of my role is enabling the business owners to make informed decisions based on clear financial reporting.
