You can just do your own books right? it’s easy
We’ve all seen the adverts for the latest and greatest cloud-based accounting software. Just sync up your bank feeds and away you go… right?
Well, maybe. But although that may comply with the statutory requirement to keep financial records, it won’t tell you a great deal about your business.
Having an experienced bookkeeper on hand will open up your accounts, to help you review in detail what’s been going well, and tackle those things that haven’t. Keep control of expenditure. Identify any trends that could cost you money before they cost you money. And help you plan your cashflow requirements for the coming weeks, months, or even years.
Unlike some, we don’t believe there’s any one “right” system for everyone. We review your requirements and recommend the right system for you. A lot of our clients use Quickbooks Online or Xero, but we also have people using Freeagent, Quickbooks Pro, Sage, Zoho, and even a couple using industry-specific systems such as ERPAG or IQMS.
We make sure that we learn everything about the systems you use so that we can provide the best support possible.
So you just do everything for me?
Not necessarily. We develop an entire solution that’s right for you, and your level of involvement can vary too. We can provide any level of service from simple month-end reconciliation & reporting right up to a fully outsourced accounts department. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s tailored outsourcing to suit you and your business.
Need part-time support?
As your business grows you may find yourself needing initially part-time support for your bookkeeping function. But if you employ someone who works Monday to Wednesday, what happens with that accounts query that arrives on Thursday morning - they have to wait till Monday?
TCS’ outsourced accounts department is available to you, your suppliers and your customers all day every day, seven days a week, and often costs less than employing someone part-time. You can effectively achieve a full-time accounts team for less than part-time prices.
And as you grow, if you decide to bring the function back in-house, TCS can help recruit and train your new accounts team, ensuring the handover is so smooth your external partners will never notice.
