1. Time to focus on your business needs

2. What you don’t really know or understand
Not many business start-ups have
backgrounds in finance or a working knowledge of purchase ledger, sales ledger
or VAT. It’s better for a qualified bookkeeper to handle these areas of the business…I can do that for you.
Mistakes will be less likely and errors
could cost you more. If you miss a bill or forget to pay something it can impact your business credit score.
3. Your work-life balance
4. A different perspective on your business
You believe you have a good idea and are happy with the state of your start-up but it always helps to have another set of eyes.
A bookkeeper can put financial systems in
place, run reports to show how you are doing each month, where the funds are
going and how your efforts are paying off (or might need improving
upon)…. I can give you that "big picture" through real-time data.
5. Escape the things you find tedious

It makes sense to hand these
tasks over to someone who does them well because they enjoy it…. and that’s me.
6. Make sure everything is paid on time

This may impact your reputation and credit rating so put a
bookkeeper in charge and relax knowing that everything is being handled....I can help with this.
7. VAT returns on time
The last thing you want is to get caught
out forgetting a VAT return, especially with ‘Making Tax Digital’ now ‘live’
I can handle support you to get set-up and handle the quarterly returns going forwards.
8. Your cash-flow
As you are very busy, you may not notice
payments outstanding from your clients. Cash will stop ‘flowing’ into your bank
account and may hinder any future business you need to do.
Sending reminders and checking bank accounts
regularly can take up your valuable time…. I can support you with this and make
sure the cash keeps flowing in.
9. Deal with any queries or conflicts of interest
If your start-up is a partnership, it is
important that everyone is on an equal footing and knows about the finances.

10. Cost v Value
You may think it will be cheaper to do
everything yourself but a qualified bookkeeper actually saves you more.
Reduce the risk of human error, out-of-date knowledge, missed payments, delayed
income and VAT deadlines missed…. by asking me to help.
