“We are a small family company and find Helen’s help invaluable. She keeps us up to date with new regulations, and any problems with our accounts system she is happy to either talk it through with us, or will happily pop over to sort it if necessary. I would not be exaggerating when I say we would be extremely sorry to lose her, which I hope is something we never have to do. We trust Helen completely, and have complete faith in her and her company.”

FAQs
We could write a lot about why bookkeeping is important for businesses, but in simple terms it’s important to ensure that all your accounts data is recorded correctly to ensure that it can be filed, submitted, reviewed and collated for accounting compliance purposes. This will ensure that you do not get into trouble with financial authorities and that you can have easier access to credit should you need it.
Bookkeeping is the first step in accounting, and involves recording your business’ financial data accurately. Accounting, meanwhile, is presenting and interpreting the data collected during the bookkeeping process. This means that both work hand-in-hand. McIntyre Stuart is able to offer either or both of these services to suit your business’ needs.
While we recommend consulting an accountant to see whether completely outsourcing your business accounting is right for you, there are some notable benefits to consider.
