Some clients are in a mess with their cashflow when they lean on us - we help with chasing customers for money, assisting with finance applications and plan future cashflow with them. These improvements can have a dramatic effect on how well the business runs day to day.

Clients are sometimes so busy that they have moved on to the next project without realising their customers are slow to pay them, causing cashflow problems for their business.  If we know that cashflow is the priority, we can really focus on getting the money in and looking at who needs to be paid first.

Other clients want to push their business to grow but don't know how to get those results.  We can work through tried and tested steps to help move you closer to the goals you want.

We help turn their goal into practical steps by discussing what can be done, which order is best for them, what type of budget they have to deal with the strategies they need.

We help some clients with their social media so that they can concentrate on the day to day work.  We have one or two clients who needed us to email contacts to try and establish new trade relationships so that their customer base increased.

Another way we can help is just by being on the other end of the phone as some small businesses are run as 'one man bands' and having an honest opinion can be really helpful.  Talking through ideas, worries, plans can help our clients to make sense of their thoughts which helps keep them on track.

We all need to be held accountable sometimes - we can promise to do this, that and the other but if we never have to report in and say 'yes that's done'...will we ever do it?  That is where a regular monthly or weekly call with BW Bookkeeping can help.  One client told us it feels like he is being set homework, but he still takes those necessary steps to growth.
