We are passionate about helping small business owners.

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

Who works for BW Bookkeeping?

Jen started as an Office Junior in an accountancy practice and worked her way up from there to Client Manager in the years before starting her own business in 2014.  Two of the team have been trained from scratch at BW and two had a background working in finance. We mainly work at our own homes with team members in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. We actually enjoy handling spreadsheets and paperwork so we must be a little bit mad.

Why use BW?

Our business was set up to help small business owners who have reached the point where they need help but don't have the budget for consultants.  We know figure work is not everyone's cup of tea.  Accountants are perfect for year ends and tax planning but often clients want more support day to day.  We can give each unique client the help they need, with a set monthly fee so that no one feels 'the meter is running'. Have a look at some case studies in our blog to see that we have helped other business owners succeed.
