As a small business we understand the need for optimising your time. We know that you want to focus on your business and not worrying about keeping your accountant happy. Here at beans & counters our business is the book-keeping so let us do what we specialise in so you can do what you specialise in.

Keeping your finances under control will reduce the likelihood of penalties for late payments, minimise overdraft interest and thereby maximise profits. Since most of our business can be conducted by post this minimises the time you need to devote to these tasks. These are the services we provide:

•  Preparing and inputting sales invoices in to an accounting    system then posting to clients.

•  Sending monthly reminder statements to any clients with    outstanding debts. (Research has shown that this can
   increase your collection of debts by 70 %.) This includes 2    follow-up letters to help recover bad debts.

•  Preparing and inputting purchase invoices in to an
   accounting system. We then send the cheque to you for    signature with remittance advice, envelope and postage.

•  Checking and reimbursing expenses claims.

•  Reconcile bank accounts.

•  Provide on a monthly/quarterly basis profit and loss
   account, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
