If you're currently managing your bookkeeping alone then it might be time to decide to hire a professional.

Doing your own books will just get you by, but hiring a professional can help your business to soar. At LJM Bookkeeping we closely monitor your cash flow and produce financial forecasts to ensure you meet your business objectives. We help you to set your goals and guide you in the right direction in order to achieve them.

Here’s what we can do to support your business in order to grow…

• Streamline your bookkeeping process - LJM Bookkeeping has what we call an ‘Accounting Eco System’ in place for all of our clients. This is a streamlined process for your bookkeeping which grows with your business. We use Xero and Dext as part of this Eco System. Cloud Accounting ensures that you have real time updates on your financial situation meaning you can make accurate, sensible decisions for your business based on your current cash flow.

• Monitor your outgoings - We will audit your outgoings and make sure you’re not paying for things which aren’t essential. Any subscriptions you have we will research to see if we can save you money. Every penny in your bank account counts towards your business growth. Having a healthy cash flow is a step closer to a successful business.

• Suggest funding you may be eligible to - Without the professional advice of a bookkeeper you may not be aware of the financial funding available to you, whether that be government grants or bounce back loans, we will help you to get the funding you’re entitled to. Receiving extra cash into your business opens up the doors to many opportunities for growth.

• Cash Flow Forecasting - We use Futrli in order to support our clients with this, being able to produce reports based on your current data, and having your bookkeeper translate the information for you, can hugely benefit your business growth. A cash flow forecast results in you being able to make decisions based on your future status and enables you to set your business goals which are within reach. Your bookkeeper will help you put the steps in place in order to succeed.

• Tax and expenses - without a bookkeeper you may not be ‘in the know’ when it comes to your business expenses. You may have a rough idea of what you can and can’t claim but a bookkeeper is an expert in this field. Knowing exactly what you're entitled to claim can result in saving you money, keeping your cash flow healthy. Let’s face it, we all hate handing money over to the tax man, so if it means you get to keep more than you thought, added bonus right?

Of course business growth cannot happen overnight, and your business accounts need to be closely monitored to ensure that you are staying on track to success. At LJM Bookkeeper we endeavour to offer an ‘ACE’ bookkeeping service. By this we mean Accuracy, Continuity and Efficiency. We support all of our clients in their business growth, and there’s nothing we love more than seeing businesses flourish!
