Bookkeeping is a crucial element for businesses in Cookstown. Whilst many people think bookkeeping consists of just filing invoices and receipts, there is so much more depth to the role. As businesses in Cookstown and Northern Ireland continue to grow and expand, we thought it was important to highlight the importance of bookkeepers and let businesses know exactly what we do to help their growth.
2020 caught the whole world off guard and as we all tried to survive the unknown and steady the ship, the true importance of bookkeeping came to light. When applying for COVID grants or trying to navigate the governments furlough scheme, bookkeepers (and accountants) were on hand to help every step of the way, from advice on maintaining their cash flow when everything halted, to understanding the ever changing guidance and regulations. A good bookkeeper will have your up to date figures available at the touch of a button. This was imperative when figures were needed to apply for SEISS, Bounce Back loans etc.
Helps with Budgeting
A bookkeeper can help businesses in Cookstown with budgeting for the future. With up to date figures available a cash flow forecast can easily be prepared. This will assist with tax planning following on from the changes in the budget recently.
As the UK moves towards the Making Tax Digital initiative in 2024, we are on hand to make this switch as seamless as possible for all businesses in Cookstown, providing guidance to all who need it as we transition into this new era for business owners and landlords.
Growing your business
Every business owner’s dream is to grow their business to its full potential and this is no easy task. With the help of a qualified bookkeeper, businesses can use accurate data to give themselves future goals to grow. The bookkeeper will take care of the day to day financials whilst giving you, the business owner the freedom to do what you do best.
Business Advice
Bookkeepers have a lot of experience when it comes to working with a range of businesses. Because of this, they make excellent business advisors, there is no problem they haven’t seen before.
A good bookkeeper becomes an indispensable part of your business, we like to call ourselves ‘your business partner’.
