Orchard Rise Accounting

Who calls the shots?

You, or your money?

As a bookkeeper, I like to feel I have the power in the expenses vs cash flow relationship, but I understand how it’s easier said than done.

As a business owner, sometimes there are costs that simply have to be covered.

And then you get those months.

But I’ve turned things around for clients. When they see:
- That cost they can stop incurring
- That way to save
- That way to earn more
- That way to focus on more profitable activities

Because for you it can be emotional

Money.

But for me, it’s just numbers.

And that means I have the power to get you back in control.

10 steps for a smooth month end.

As the month draws to a close, you’ll want to bring your accounts up to date. Here’s a simple checklist to ensure your monthly accounts closing is efficient and accurate:

1. Go through all bank and credit card statements.
2. Ensure all transactions are recorded and categorised correctly.
3. Send out any pending invoices.
4. Follow up on overdue payments to keep your cash flow healthy.
5. Record all expenses, no matter how small.
6. Review expenses to identify any unnecessary spending.
7. Run payroll and post your payroll journal.
8. Review your financial statements.
9. Save for tax.
10. Set goals for next month.

Do you do these every month?
I know 10 is meaningless without 1-9 and I’d love to help you take control of your accounts starting today.

Here’s how I can make you more money this month.

But first, a question: How much can you sell in a day focused solely on selling?

How long does your bookkeeping take each month?

If you work with me and spend the time on selling instead of bookkeeping, you’ll be £££ up each month.

Sound like a plan?

I’m on board with that too.

Are you making these three mistakes?
Don’t worry, I’ve got the solutions.

As a bookkeeper, I’ve seen it all but these three minor but impactful mistakes come up all the time.

- [ ] Bank reconciliations
I frequently meet business owners who don’t compare their bank balance in their software to the bank statements. Seems minor, but transactions can be ‘lost’ without this simple check.
- [ ] Purchases on personal bank accounts
Did you buy the sellotape or the coffee on your personal card again? From missing out in VAT that can be reclaimed to truly understanding your expenses, using your personal card is a no-no.
- [ ] Not chasing aged debt
People owe you money, and I get it, chasing it up is hard, but did you know the average business has £20,000 outstanding to them. Can you afford to not have that £20,000?

I help my clients keep accurate financial records so they can really understand their businesses and make more money. Do you want my eyes in your business?

Roses are red,

I do bookkeeping

Is doing the bookkeeping yourself taking up too much of your time? Could you use that time more wisely to run your business?

Let me take the bookkeeping off of your hands, so you can spend more time generating profit.

I can make you money. Here’s how.

As a bookkeeper, you probably think of me as somebody who saves you a job you hate, makes sure you get things right and keeps you organised….. but costs you money.

I get it.

You’re a business owner.

You need to make money.

It’s why you run your business.

But imagine if having a bookkeeper rather than being a cost, was an investment that made you more money?

Here are 5 ways I help.

- [ ] Managing cash flow so you don’t pay anybody a moment sooner than you have to and more money sits in your bank account for more time.
- [ ] Forecasting for the future so you can make the right decisions at the right time when it comes to your funds.
- [ ] Showing you where costs are rising so you can renegotiate with suppliers to raise your prices.
- [ ] Highlighting what does and doesn’t make money in your business so you can focus on the projects with the highest margins.
- [ ] Freeing up your time so you can do the things you’re best at - making money!

Investing in a professional bookkeeper isn’t an expense; it’s an investment in the future of your business.

Your bookkeeping isn’t just about crunching numbers. By keeping detailed financial records, you can identify which areas of your business are performing well and deserve more investment.

Without that information, how can you know how you will grow?

You’re not as successful as you want to be because of this.

You can’t make decisions.

Why?

Because you don’t have the information you need at hand.

As a business owner, you’re constantly making decisions, it’s critical for the success of your business. Having accurate financial records at your disposal is essential to make the right choices.

But if your bookkeeping isn’t up to scratch, you won’t have the information you need. You won’t know if your expenses are rising every month, you won’t notice that your cash balances are dwindling.

If you want to make better decisions without second guessing yourself, we’d love to chat about your bookkeeping.
