A letter to your debtors...

Dear Debtor,

How are you? I think of you often. I miss the way we used to be, I'd invoice you, you'd pay me. It was the perfect pairing. You've seemed so distant lately, aloof. I'd even go as far to say that you've checked out of our relationship.

Let's have a catch up, figure out whats going on and find a way to move forward.

Think of all the good times we spent together.

All the best

Your creditor ๐Ÿ’™

We offer bespoke credit control where needed, so you never have to be the needy ex, sending the "I want you back" letters.

๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ Even if you're not quite ready to bring a bookkeeper in to your business, either remotely, or internally, it's still important to keep your books up to date.

We offer tailored to you training on Xero, so that you can keep your books up to date, as well as understand what they mean!

We have 3๏ธโƒฃ types of training available to be customised;

1๏ธโƒฃ Online presentation style training, 1:1 via zoom/video call. We'll spend 1-1.5 hours with you on a call, going through the general processes of Xero, as well as running through any functions Xero provides that would benefit your business. We'll also show you how to run basic business reports to review your businesses performance on a periodic basis.

2๏ธโƒฃ Face to face, walk through style training, 1:1 in your office, or mine, your preference! 2 hours on site training for all of the above, with the options to pull specific examples from your business, as well as work on your system together to ensure you're confident with what you've learned.

3๏ธโƒฃ DIY bookkeeper training. This type of training is a mixture of the above, with the added benefit of 1 months support from the bespoke bookkeepers, any questions no matter how small will be received and answered, with an informative explanation, and where appropriate a how to guide.

Any of these sound like something you might need?

๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ถWhy should you book a free call with me? ๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ถ

Well if the photo hasn't said enough, let me elaborate...

๐Ÿ’Ž Iโ€™ve worked in the accounting/bookkeeping world for the last 13 years, in various industries and practices.

๐Ÿ’Ž Iโ€™m a certified Xero Partner, as well as having extensive experience with Sage (desktop and online), Quickbooks, Dext, Hub-Doc, Excel and other Microsoft applications.

๐Ÿ’Ž I like structure in my work, so I use a standard work schedule that I customise to suit the needs of the company.

๐Ÿ’Ž I have clients that like bookkeeping done at varying intervals, i.e. weekly, bi weekly, monthly. And for these I set scheduled times/days for works to be completed and updates with requests for missing information to be sent regularly to ensure the smooth running of their bookkeeping.

๐Ÿ’Ž Some of the tasks I regularly undertake for my clients which allow them to make well informed business decisions are;

General P&L + Product/Service Targeted P&L reviews
Budget Review
Casual Staff Holiday calculator

๐Ÿ’Ž I also have a shared calendar to keep all relevant parties informed of pending deadlines, both internal and external

If you have employees on Zero Hour Contracts, are you correctly calculating their holiday allowance?

You could be paying your employees for holiday they're not entitled to, or you could be running up a holiday bill that'll give you a bit of a shock at the end of the year!

โญ I have a client who uses zero hours contracts, one of her employees had been taking what we deemed to be an excessive amount of holiday, and prior to us discussing it, my client hadn't given holiday calculation a second thought. It transpired that the employee was actually claiming holiday before she accrued it. Which put the company at risk of spending more than necessary.

โญ we reviewed the employees hours since starting at the company, along with any holiday taken, and her contract to create a custom tracker for both the employee and my client to use to track holiday.

โญ this created more transparency between them. It also allowed the employee to be Aware of the holiday hours she'd accrued to plan her personal finances, as any holiday taken over the accrued value is not payable.

โญ My client also had a much better view on payroll figures, and those figures line up much better with the amount of time employees are actually at work!

โญ this is a much cleaner, more robust process that will take a very small amount of time monthly to keep up to date!

โญ interested? We are offering this as a stand alone service, even if you don't have your payroll through us, for the bargain price of ยฃ15 a month*

*ยฃ15 pcm for first 3 employees, subsequent employees charged at ยฃ2.50 per employee per month.
