You will find your business much easier to sell if it is well organised and it is clear what the buyer is acquiring. For that, it needs to be able to be run without you. We have tried and tested ways of getting you to that point. Whether you sell or not, it makes life easier and gives you more focus. And gives you more choice. Ideally, we like to start about three years prior to a sale.

Because most bookkeepers are not trained and supervised, the number of errors in your VAT return is likely to be higher and you are at greater risk of incurring penalties. It will be too late to rely on your accountant at year-end to fix your errors. This is because HMRC are expecting quarterly VAT reporting to be accurate and the 4 quarters to match the annual accounts. Continuous checking of the books is therefore essential to avoid penalties and a huge waste of time.

We can help you streamline your methods to make everything faster, cheaper and more accurate. Alternatively, you may wish to leave it all to us. When Hixsons do your bookkeeping, we check it as we go, eliminating the need for lots of questions at year end so making annual accounts much cheaper. Because our team are trained and supervised, the books are done faster and more accurately so you can make better decisions.
