You’re running a successful business. You love what you do, and you’re great at it. But those piles of paper just keep getting in your way. There’s the relentless flow of bills, sales invoices that need sending, customers to be chased, suppliers to be paid, and employee expenses and credit card receipts that need analysing. It’s all a drag on your time and energy. You’re an entrepreneur, not an accountant. But not giving it your attention would mean a serious cash flow problem. And every time you take a break you probably worry about what you’ll come back to. So what do you do? Take on a part-time book-keeper? They’ll only work limited hours – so they won’t always be around when you need them, or always be able to give you informed advice. Employ someone permanent? Then you’re stuck with a fixed cost, a nine to five attitude and the inevitable absences – not to mention the risk of fraud. Engage a chartered accountant? They’re rarely interested in the day-to-day business. They deal with the “been and gone” - like statutory accounts and tax - not the here and now.What you need is people who can liberate you from the paperwork. People you can trust to look after it as carefully as you would. People who can give you the right advice to help you drive your business forward.
