For business owners these are the certainties of life. Whether you are a sole trader earning extra cash at the weekends, or you have a company with 7 employees, death, bookkeeping and taxes can not be avoided forever.
Its not all bad news, as planning and getting the right support can mean that bookkeeping isn’t scary and the tax bills are under control.
Bookkeeping is only scary when :
- you leave it to pile up,
- you do it when you are knackered from working all week
- or you ask your partner to do it and friction starts to build.
Having a bookkeeper means that your books are up to date once a week or once a month, and there is no dread building in the back of your mind when you think about it.
Taxes are only scary if your books are not up to date and you don’t know how much the payment will be. If you have an idea of what will need to be paid you can start to squirel the money away in advance. We always recommend our clients have a deposit account with their next VAT or personal tax savings in so that the money is there when they need it.
Getting the right help means that the books and the taxes are under control and the fear factor has been removed. If you want help to deal with your books, get in touch and see how we can help you.
And death, well we should not worry about the things we can not control.
