Vitally important that small businesses keep up-to-date records and take good care of bookkeeping. So, we are going to offer some tips and advice on how best to do this and avoid future problems.
- Use the same Accountancy Practice to do all your accountancy, payroll and bookkeeping
There are valid reasons for this. Firstly, your accountant should have an exceptionally good knowledge of your business. Your Accountant can take full responsibility for managing all your bookkeeping and accounting and deliver a fully inclusive solution at a very affordable price. By taking charge of everything your accountant can ensure that you are worry free from all the admin and bookkeeping headaches. Keeping everything in one place makes perfect sense and will be cost effective.

- Keep a separate bank account for your business
This keeps your personal and business transactions separate. Simplifies bookkeeping and ensures that there is no need for reconciling personal vs business spending. This will save time and money and your books will always give a true and fair indication for cash flow and management reporting. Make sure that you always pay all business bills from your business account and all personal bills from your personal account.
