3 bookkeeping questions you should ask as a small business owner.

21/08/2026

HMRC earned £2.5 billion revenue in fines from tax payers. *

Were you a part of that statistic?

Getting your bookkeeping organised is one of the surest ways to get yourself prepared for submissions to HMRC. So many people sadly leave their bookkeeping until the last minute and end up submitting things late.

Our top tips for keeping on top of your bookkeeping:

🤓 Process your paperwork as you go along rather than letting it pile up.

🤓 Have a reliable software that connects with your bank and make sure you know how to use it properly.

🤓 Regularly reconcile your bank account

For accounts software training, bookkeeping support, payroll and debt collection help, we're here for you.

*In financial year ending 31st March 2025. According to HMRC's own report.

As a Mancunian firm, with an office in Trafford Park and our founder living in Stretford, Kellogg's UK & Ireland is very much a part of our community. It has provided employment and commerce to the area for generations and we’ll be sad to see them go.

After hearing the news we wanted to share a bit about what Kellogg’s means to us and a slice of its history and influence on the area.

Last week we went to Trafford College to speak to a group of T-Level students studying accounting. They were so polite and engaged! It was a pleasure presenting to them.

Next year one of these wonderful students will be undertaking a 9 week work placement with us. Here's to the interview process!

We love providing opportunities to those studying, whether they be a student or an adult learner. Experience is EVERYTHING in bookkeeping and reading things out of a book just doesn't cut it. We're really excited to be able to show them the intricacies of our trade.

Our Managing Director actually studied at the college many moons ago, so it was a blast from the past for Karen.
