About Us

Providing bookkeeping services tailored to meet your needs

Hello, my name is Sue Allen and I'm a bookkeeper based in Bedfordshire

We provide bookkeeping services tailored to meet your needs, dealing with all the day-to-day finance paperwork, leaving you with more time to focus on your business. We will provide regular reports so that you will know where your business is at any point in time which will allow you to make the right business decisions using facts rather than intuition. With regular bank reconciliations you will also be able to keep on top of cash flow and control any potential shortfalls before they happen. This means you will have a better grasp of your business numbers on a day to day basis which will give you the platform for growth.

We can:

  • Provide monthly management reports
  • Provide cashflows & forecasts
  • Submit quarterly VAT returns
  • Assist with credit control
  • Provide payroll services

If you use a firm of accountants we will liaise with them as needed and prepare everything for final completion of the year-end accounts. This will save you money on your accountancy fees due to less work being needed by them.

Depending on your needs we are happy to work from your offices on your current system or take your paperwork back to our office. We can either integrate with your current system or start from fresh.

Bookeeping Services Bookkeeping Services

We will deal with all your day to day finances which may include creating client invoices, checking and entering supplier bills, making payments and entering cash receipts. We will keep your accounts in order and prepare them for your year end.

The system we use is the very popular Xero but we are also able to accommodate Sage or Quickbooks.

VAT Returns VAT Returns

If you are VAT registered it is a legal requirement to complete and submit VAT returns accurately and on time. We will calculate your VAT and submit the quarterly returns online and on time.

From preparing your accounts monthly we can estimate your VAT so you know how much money to keep aside for your quarterly payment.

Management Accounts Management Accounts

If you require Management Reports, we can provide them monthly or quarterly to suit your business requirements.

Management Reports are tailored to a client's needs and can include:

  • a profit and loss statement showing the current and year to date figures
  • a balance sheet
  • aged debtor and creditor ledger lists
  • bank reconciliation statements for all bank accounts
  • a cashflow forecast
  • other reports as required

Management Reports provide a clear view of your business. You can see areas where you may have over or under spent, look at profit to date, and see how much profit you will be taxed on.

Forecasts based on past information and anticipated for the future will also help strategic planning.

Payroll Payroll

We run a full payroll bureau service for clients of all sizes. Depending on your needs, payroll can be either weekly or monthly for full time, casual and part time staff and directors.

Like all our services we tailor what we do to meet your needs.

We will deal with all of your payroll calculations including:

  • attachments of earnings
  • student loans
  • SSP, SMP, SPP, SAP
  • loan repayments
  • overtime & bonuses
  • reimbursement of expenses

Payslips will be provided and either sent directly to the employer or employee via post or email.

The Payroll Service is run using HMRC approved software which is automatically updated in line with changes in legislation.

Credit Control Services Credit Control Services

If debts aren’t followed up regularly, your customers will find excuses to delay payment for as long as possible. Good credit control practices will avoid all of this and create a positive cash flow which in turn enables you to pay your creditors on time and puts you in good standing for possible future negotiations.
