Improve your cash flow by following these five simple rules.

The key is getting your invoicing right, by invoicing customers as soon as possible and using tools within the software to set reminders to move payments along.

That said, there are a few other simple rules you can apply to manage your cash flow and get your invoices paid even faster:

1. Keep your books accurate and up to date
2. Don’t be too lenient with your customers
3. Keep your accounting simple
4. Keep your business and your personal finances separate
5. Build a cash reserve

Feel free to get in touch with us for guidance on your invoicing and business cash flow.

Most business owners end up doing their bookkeeping late at night or on weekends, when they’d rather be spending time with their family and friends.

Yet they carry on because they think hiring an accountant is a luxury.
After all, why not work a little later and do the books yourself?
Getting an accountant or bookkeeper is not a lifestyle decision, it’s a business decision. Investing in professionals – or changing the way you use them – can bring considerable returns.

They’ll keep control of your tax obligations, identify savings, and help you grow your business.
You just need to use them in the right way to make sure your money is well spent.

Bookkeeping can take time for many business owners to do and get their head around.

It’s not only processing receipts, expenses, payments and invoices, but correctly allocating those transactions can save time in the long run for yearend accounts and ultimately ensure tax savings are picked up and provide more accurate, useful business reports for decision making.

A good accountant will work with you doing this and talk you through what those numbers mean. It’s a skilled job, and your Accountant will do it much more efficiently than you can using their experience and expertise.

As the saying goes ‘turnover is vanity, profit is sanity’.

Your profit margin is one of the most critical metrics to measuring the financial health of your business.

Gross profit i.e. the amount of profit you make before deductions and overheads, is worked out by subtracting what a product costs you to make or prepare from the sale price.

Net profit is more difficult to calculate because you need to take into account all the costs associated with running your business.

The relationship between sales and profit is pivotal and should form the basis of your financial forecast.

Having fewer full-time employees can cause a ripple effect on cost savings throughout an organisation, from HR and IT through to office space and utilities.

The savings in outsourcing payroll services starts with eliminating costly IT infrastructure.

Even in organisations of thousands of employees, investing in customised software solutions is increasingly being replaced by cloud-based solutions.

Payroll services providers manage, maintain and improve secure platforms with highly skilled and specialised engineers and business process managers.

Even for a large organisation, the cost of hiring and retaining specialised staff is expensive and increasingly seen as unnecessary.

What are the risks of not bookkeeping?

Reliable records mean you won’t have headaches if your accounts are ever inspected or audited

If your books are inaccurate, that could lead to bigger problems with HMRC, including the possibility of fines.

Good bookkeeping information provides a useful way of seeing how your business is performing.

Accurate records help you understand:

• how much money is coming into your business.
• how much money is going out of your business.
• which areas you’re making money in.
• which areas you’re losing money in.

Payroll can take a lot of a business owner’s time.

There are dozens of laws, rules, and rates to remember, and they frequently change.

Sometimes, unusual payroll situations arise that inexperienced businesses don’t know how to handle.

Sure, you can figure out how to adjust or solve your payroll problems, but you might waste days or weeks figuring out a solution.

Simply asking someone for help can save you a lot of hassle. Outsourcing this activity helps relieve the pressure and we can offer cost-effective solutions.

Need any help? Contact us today.

One of the main reasons that companies outsource accounting instead of keeping it in house is to save money.

Accounting services may not be cheap, but compared to the cost of employing full-time accounting staff, the cost is negligible.

An in-house finance team requires floor space, payroll, benefits and equipment.

An outsourced accountant factors these extras into their pricing, and, best of all, you only pay this cost when you need them.

SMEs quite sensibly try to minimise unnecessary overheads by doing as much work in-house as possible. However, outsourcing payroll can save your company both money and time.

Outsourced payroll eliminates the extra expense of running a department, whilst managing any time-consuming admin.
