    Bookkeeping

    Keeping your books up to date is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of business management. It can also be one of the most time-consuming, taking your focus away from running your business or enjoying your free time. Having up to date and accurate records at your fingertips will help you in both day to day management and also in planning for the future.

    I offer heavily discounted rates to all new bookkeeping clients, please contact me if you’d like more information.


    Payroll

    It’s fair to say that the world of payroll can appear a little daunting, especially since the added pressure which came with the introduction of compulsory Real Time Information (RTI) reporting in 2013. Pinnacle Bookkeeping can offer the following complete package:

  • processing new starters and leavers
  • production of payslips
  • calculation of PAYE & NI payments
  • calculation of statutory payments such as maternity or sick pay
  • production of forms such as P45s and P60 end-of-year declarations
  • submission of the same to HMRC as required under RTI rules

    With the option to have payslips produced weekly, monthly or a mixture as required, one of the big advantages of working with me is that I charge a fixed fee per payslip, no hidden charges for producing documents or giving advice. Payslips can be produced in electronic or paper format; all you have to do then is simply transfer the money to your employees as stated.

    The introduction of auto-enrolment means all employers must, by law, enrol all employees into a workplace pension scheme. If you are unsure what this means for you I can work with you to make sure you have a scheme in place in plenty of time.


    Self Assessment

    Despite the popular slogan, tax can quite often be taxing. Deadlines and the possibility of fines can add pressure to an already busy life. I can show you how tax savings can be made, prepare and submit your Self Assessment for a fixed fee.

    Also, if this is your first year of trading I offer a discount - you have enough to manage without worrying about more bills! Contact me here for more information.


    VAT Returns

    If you are VAT registered, I can prepare your VAT return, calculate how much you owe and submit the same to HMRC on your behalf, meaning all you have to do is send the payment.


    Credit Control

    This is one of the most important factors of running any business – identifying who owes you money and when it becomes due. I can take on any aspect of this from identification of money owed through to chasing clients for payment.


    Bank Reconciliation

    This involves checking your paperwork against your bank statement each month, making sure all transactions are recorded correctly. This way, if any errors are found such as incorrect payments or unauthorised withdrawals, they can be dealt with swiftly.


    Year End Accounts

    I can produce year end accounts in the form of a profit and loss report and a balance sheet for sole traders. If your accounts are computerised I can also produce a basic profit and loss report at any frequency you wish throughout the year, giving you a clear idea of how your business is performing.


    Cash Flow Forecasting

    This can be vital if you want to make a decision regarding investment into your business, or purchase of an asset such as a new vehicle. I can work with you to identify cash surpluses or shortages to ensure your money is managed effectively.


    Asset Register Management

    By maintaining a simple register you will easily be able to see the current estimated worth of any assets owned by your company, allowing for depreciation, should you wish to make any changes.
