Why Choose Grow Accounting for Your Bookkeeping?
What’s Included in Our Bookkeeping Service?
1. Bank Reconciliations
This is the process of matching your business’s bank transactions with what’s recorded in your bookkeeping software. Think of it as checking that your business’s wallet and your business’s memory are on the same page. It helps spot errors, missed entries, or even sneaky subscriptions you forgot about.
Why it matters: It keeps your financial records squeaky clean and accurate, and helps avoid surprises when tax time rolls around.
2. Recording Income and Expenses
Every pound that comes in or goes out of your business needs to be tracked — from big client payments to that fiver you spent on printer ink. We make sure all those transactions are properly categorised and logged.
Why it matters: You can’t manage what you don’t measure! Accurate records mean you’ll know how profitable your business really is — and you’ll be ready if HMRC ever comes knocking.
3. VAT Returns (Making Tax Digital compliant)
If you’re VAT-registered, you have to send regular returns to HMRC. We prepare these reports for you and submit them using software that ticks all the “Making Tax Digital” boxes — meaning it’s fully compliant with HMRC’s digital rules.
Why it matters: VAT rules can be fiddly and confusing (understatement of the century). We help you stay on the right side of the taxman, and potentially even spot VAT you can reclaim.
4. Xero Setup and Training (if needed)
If you’re not already using Xero — a cloud-based bookkeeping platform we love — we’ll help you get it set up properly. We’ll also show you the ropes so you feel confident using it yourself (or at least know where to click when you want to feel like a boss).
Why it matters: Done right, Xero can save you time, give you instant insight into your finances, and make your accountant love you a little bit more.
5. Monthly Reports and Insights
Each month, you’ll get reports that show how your business is performing — profit, cash flow, expenses, and more. But we don’t stop at the numbers; we give you insight too. That means pointing out trends, red flags, or opportunities to grow.
Why it matters: Numbers are great, but knowing what to do with them is better. These reports help you make smart decisions — not just guesswork.
6. Liaising with Your Accountant or HMRC When Needed
Sometimes your accountant or HMRC will need something — a report, a clarification, or to answer a question. We’ll handle those chats for you (or with you), so you don’t have to speak fluent Tax-ese.
Why it matters: Saves you time, stress, and the need to decipher government-speak. We’re your go-between so you can stay focused on running your business.
