Some of our most often-asked questions are explained in more detail here.
WHY DO I NEED A BOOKKEEPER FOR MY BUSINESS?
- It is all business owners’ and company directors’ legal responsibility to ensure that they keep accurate books and records.
- If you need any assistance whether it be short-term support or an ongoing longer-term relationship, please get in touch…… we’ll be glad to help!
- We value all our clients, and we pride ourselves that we take a real interest in each and every business that we work with.
CAN YOUR SERVICE SAVE MY BUSINESS MONEY?
As well as providing a professional bookkeeping and accountancy service, it is possible we could save your business money. By outsourcing your bookkeeping and accounting function, this will allow you more time to focus on the day to day running of your business.
By engaging with us, you can save on employer’s National Insurance and employers pension contributions compared with employing people on your own payroll.
HOW MUCH WILL MY BOOKKEEPING COST ME PER MONTH?
At ACW accounts, we charge a set fixed monthly fee for our services. We do not charge an hourly rate unless some initial set-up work is required, for example, migrating data from one software package to another.
Every customer’s needs are different so please call us or book online for a free no obligation discussion so that we can understand how we might best be able to help and support your business.
HOW MUCH WILL XERO COST ME PER MONTH?
We have found that for most users, the standard package is sufficient at £30 + VAT per month.
There are other optional extras such as payroll, expense claims and CIS return submissions, where an additional charge will apply.
WHAT OTHER ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE DO YOU USE?
We believe that the Xero software is a very user-friendly accounting package, which is why we recommend it.
We also have a wealth of experience using Sage and QuickBooks so if you are already using one of these (or any other accounting software) and wish to continue, this wouldn’t be a problem.
DO YOU PROVIDE TRAINING ON ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE?
This is something we provide – we find this is best done face-to-face. This is because we can find out or use existing knowledge of the business to ensure that any training is targeted so that the business can achieve the maximum benefit from any training sessions.
HOW CAN WE BE SURE YOUR SERVICE IS AS GOOD AS YOU SAY?
We would encourage you to look at the testimonials on our website. For further peace of mind, we have Professional Indemnity insurance in place.
