Bookkeeping - is it just about number crunching?
The majority of business owners that employ a bookkeeper intially consider the support as simply completing accurate records to enable the business to meet its legal obligations of filing accounts and paying any tax due. But is a professional bookkeeper more value to your business?
Of course this is the primary role of a bookkeeper, but what is literally at the bookkeepers finger tips that can make a difference to your business?
• Their knowledge of what makes up a good financial system
• A systemised approach to your work that can integrate easily into your day to day working
• Their experience of other businesses and how they operate or analyse financial information
• The know how to get the most from your financial software package
• The passion for numbers and getting it right first time
• The relationship with local accountants, knowing what they want from you and when
• An understanding of your business financials to support your decision making
• A knowledge of your business, more than just the financials, as a trusted partner
• Your happiness, as you are no longer doing it!!!
At A1 Financials, our bookkeeping and management accounts business, we are practice members of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and shortlisted as Bookkeeping Practice of the Year in 2009 and 2011, because we offer more than just the crunching. Local accountants also tell us our fees are also very reasonable.

What are the top 5 numbers in your business?
Is it your turnover target or your margin percentage? Is it the number of leads you want each month or thenumber of new customers? Is it the maximum number of times the phone should ring before answered? or is it the maximum number of hours to which you will reply to an enquiry?
These numbers will be very personal to you and if achieved will help drive the success of your business.
So are you measuring these 5 numbers on a monthly basis in your management information? Are they on every meeting agenda looking at ways to improve them or simply focus on them?
If not then why not, as you have identified them as your top 5 numbers.
A1 Director, Mike Foster, speaks on this very subject. To read more, please see our web site
