You didn't start your business because you wanted more admin.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Having up to date figures helps you feel less stressed so you can make good business decisions. We will work closely with you so that we will feel like part of your team.  Our clients say it helps to hand the paperwork over to us, so that they get their evenings back.  With cloud based software (Quickbooks, Clearbooks, Xero) you can keep an eye on the figures with your own log in if you want to.

Help With Sales Invoices

If you need help with sending out invoices, our team will use bookkeeping software to email your invoices to customers. 

We can send the customers the quotes and/or invoices as well as following up with regular statements to make sure the invoices get paid on time.

Business Mentoring

As a business owner you can feel isolated so we are here to to listen to your plans and ideas. Our encouraging mentoring and advisory service keeps your goals in mind to help you achieve the growth you want.

We can talk once a week or once a month to help you stay on track and highlight any blind spots which need to be addressed.  

VAT Returns

We use cloud based software to file VAT returns each quarter for a variety of clients.  We regularly use Quickbooks and Xero to keep the books up to date and file the VAT returns online. Once the return is filed we will confirm the liability and due date.  Some clients like to know what their next VAT payment is looking like, so we give them an updated estimate each month to help them plan.

Marketing and Social Media

If you have the ideas but not the time to get a Facebook page running, an Instagram account opened or a letter drafted to potential customers, we are here to help. We can proofread adverts/posts before they are shared so that the mistakes are minimised. BW Bookkeeping can talk to you about business listings and how to make sure they work to get your business noticed.

VAT Registration

Every business with income of £85,000 needs to start monitoring their sales as they get close to the VAT registration threshold.  BW Bookkeeping can help you, talk through what you need to do and help with applying for a VAT registration when the time is right.  This will give you confidence that you are getting things right.  For more information from HMRC : https://www.gov.uk/how-vat-works

Administration Support

If there are spreadsheets that would help your business run more smoothly, we are happy to help develop them for you.  If you need a form to send to customers or suppliers, we can set that up.  Our clients often need help with back office skills as most of our clients don't want to spend their day sat at a desk or laptop. When you get forms from suppliers needing all your details, it can save you time to get us to fill them in.  Whatever your admin needs are, we can chat about how best to support you.

More about BW Bookkeeping

Jen worked for 3 accountancy practices and always loved working with clients to keep their books up to date. When her third child came along in 2014, she decided to set up a business to work closely with people who wanted more support than an accountant could give them. BW Bookkeeping grew from there and we now work with small businesses using Quickbooks, Xero and Clearbooks. We hope to help lots of businesses to grow, by supporting them each month or each week depending on their needs.
