Welcome to Books n` Accounts.

A unique style of book keeping and accounts management service.

Founded by David Holton who has over 20 years experience of successful retail and installation businesses we are unusual as David s background is not in a conventional accounts department, but in running and owning actual businesses. This enables him to take a far broader view of business than most bookkeepers. He has always maintained a very hands on approach to the accounting side of his own businesses never having successfully found anyone he would have complete faith in to handle his own books for him !

Maintaining accurate business accounts is not just a legal requirement, but could actually save you money. Presenting your accountant with a box of receipts and bank statements at your year end could be very costly in terms of expensive accountant's time (our rates for regular bookkeeping are usually much lower as we have lower overheads than most accountants). There is also the inevitability of forgetting legitimate business expenses resulting in you actually paying more tax than you are required to !

Falling behind with HMRC requirements would prove even more costly. Not only in penalties and interest charges but it is also far more likely to encourage a full and potentially lengthy HMRC investigation.

Having accurate, up to date accounts helps you make key business decisions. Possibly about expansion, extra staff, VAT registration, buying new equipment or vehicles. It could enable you to obtain improved funding or cut your financing costs.

Most important of all a good bookkeeper can relieve you from a huge source of stress, freeing you to get on with the most important thing  - Running Your Business.
