Book a 30-minute initial review →Ely's business base is smaller and more independent than the cities either side of it — hospitality and visitor trade in the centre, food processing and agricultural supply out towards the Fens, and a spread of small professional and trade firms.
What those businesses usually have in common is a competent year-end accountant and no monthly discipline in between. We supply the missing part: books kept current on Xero, VAT reviewed before every return, and management accounts you can actually read.
Seasonality is the specific issue here. Visitor-driven and agricultural businesses have income that swings hard across the year, and a set of books that isn't kept monthly makes it impossible to tell a bad month from a normal trough.
Everything below is included in the monthly fee. Every issue we raise is tied to a published accounting standard (FRS 102, FRS 105) or an HMRC rule — nothing is a black box.
Every bank account, credit card and payment platform reconciled monthly, so the position you see is the position you're in — not an estimate.
Transactions coded to the right nominal with the right VAT treatment. Consistent month to month, so your comparatives actually mean something.
Every return inspected before submission — reverse charge, partial exemption, disallowed input tax. Errors caught before HMRC finds them, not after.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet with plain-English commentary, so you can see how the business is really doing without decoding a spreadsheet.
Clean, reconciled books handed to your accountant at year end — which means a faster, cheaper and far less painful year-end process.
If something doesn't look right — margin moving, a control account drifting, a director's loan building — you hear about it that month, not next March.
