How bookkeepers support business owners

How bookkeepers support business owners

Bookkeepers play a crucial role in supporting business owners by managing the financial aspects of your businesses. We also go beyond just your numbers by offering you additional support and advice about your business.


Here’s how we can help you.


Reassurance


Having a bookkeeper in the background for your business means you have someone who can make sure you’re compliant with HMRC and any relative legislation. You can be sure that deadlines will be met and there will be no nasty fines or surprises.


You can run new ideas past your bookkeeper to find out if they are a good fit for your business. I like to tell my clients they can use me as a sounding board. Not all business owners have a team behind them or anyone  they can run ideas past. As your bookkeeper we will have a deep insight into your business processes and finances to ensure your next business move is the right one.


Stress free finances

Leaving your accounts to us means that you can stop stressing out about what needs to be done when it comes to your bookkeeping. We can guide you step by step. With the use of cloud accounting, integration with other software and automation we can make your bookkeeping process streamlined and efficient. This will give you time back to invest into areas of your business which need you most. 


Better understanding of your numbers


We maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records, including income, expenses, invoices, receipts, VAT and other financial transactions. This ensures that you have a clear understanding of your financial position.


We can generate financial reports each month, such as balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. These reports provide you with a comprehensive overview of your financial health and performance, enabling you to make informed strategic decisions. These insights can help identify areas of growth, cost reduction, and profitability improvement.


Realistic goal setting


Goal setting is important for your business. It’s vital that you have a plan of action and that your goals are written down. Bookkeepers like us can ensure that the goals you set are relative, realistic, challenging yet achievable. 


By analysing your financial data we can work together to ensure we put the right steps in place for you to achieve those goals. We can break them down into chunks so that it keeps you motivated and moving in the right direction. 


From time to time we can review your progress to ensure you’re on track and make the appropriate changes to ensure you still smash those goals. 


Support


We will look after your business as we would our own. We will help you to budget and plan your finances better and ensure your cash flow is nice and healthy. No expense will be missed with the use of our apps and processes and we will make sure you’re claiming for everything you possibly can to reduce your tax bill. 



At LJM Bookkeeping we support business owners with their growth and help to put measures in place if your business is struggling. 


No matter what your current financial situation, we can support you and your business.

value and pricing

As a bookkeeping practice, we understand how critical it is to get your pricing structure right. At LJM Bookkeeping, we’ve moved away from the traditional hourly rate model, and while this shift can feel daunting, it brings immense benefits for both our clients and us.

As a business owner, I've come to realise that growth is not just about the services we provide or the hours we put in; it's also about the connections we make. That's why, as the owner of LJM Bookkeeping, I prioritise attending events like Accountex
