Where your accounts can all go wrong

You probably went into business to do something you're good at and, if you're lucky, also enjoy — but that probably didn't include paperwork.

One misplaced invoice or delayed ledger entry can cause problems much further down the line: not helpful, and time-consuming, if you need to make a good impression on your bank manager or the taxman.

Sole traders are particularly hit because they must concentrate on keeping the money coming in and often don't have any help to make sure their paperwork is in order. Some even end up bidding for jobs they don't want because they don't have time to chase up what they are owed.

Bigger businesses are not immune either — someone in the organisation could have taken their eye off the ball or temporary staff may not know the system.

If it's happening to you it could be time to call in a book-keeping expert to get the job done quickly and reliably without unnecessary expense.
