With over a decade of experience, I like to think I know what I’m doing and when to research an issue further if I come across something more unusual.
As well as providing bookkeeping services direct to businesses, I also have over ten years of experience working directly for accountants, preparing accounts from businesses’ own bookkeeping. This gives me the advantage of understanding exactly what your accountant needs to receive at the end of the year, keeping their fees to you as low as possible, and I understand their language in case of any queries.
Particularly in these times of change with GDPR, Making Tax Digital and Brexit you can rest assured that I will implement and inform you of any changes needed to keep your business compliant.
I pride myself in offering a personal service where I get to know your business well and you know your bookkeeping is being completed by a qualified and experienced bookkeeper. I endeavour to respond to all emails within 24 working hours (usually much sooner) and enjoy building a strong relationship with my clients.
Having originally used Sage desktop software, Stafford Bookkeeping is now a 100% QuickBooks Online practice. This allows me to know the software in depth and keep up with the constant updates, ensuring my processes are as efficient as possible.
Technology is now playing a big part in bookkeeping, improving the bookkeeping process for both the bookkeeper and client. I use Receipt Bank to provide clients with an easy and efficient system of submitting paperwork to me as they receive it throughout the month, eliminating the often time consuming burden of gathering all your paperwork together at the end of a month. There are hundreds of Apps which will feed into QBO. If you have a particular requirement, I will research for a suitable App to improve efficiencies.
You will never get an unexpected invoice from Stafford Bookkeeping.
Your initial quote will be a fixed fee based on the average number of monthly transactions and services required. This will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and if requirements have changed you will be notified of a new monthly fee going forward. Additional charges will only ever be made where an Additional Work Order has been signed.
