Frequently Asked Questions and answers

What is online bookkeeping?

Online bookkeeping is a modern way of managing your financial administration via digital software. It allows you to access your financial data at any time and from any location. This includes tracking income and expenses, automatically processing purchase and sales invoices, and preparing tax returns. Additionally, online bookkeeping software enables easy report generation, such as profit and loss accounts and balance sheets, helping you make important financial decisions.

With real-time insight into your administration, you can respond quickly to changes and manage risks more effectively. Online bookkeeping not only saves time but is also an effective way to reduce errors and ensure your administration remains compliant with applicable regulations.

Why should I outsource my bookkeeping?

Outsourcing your bookkeeping offers significant benefits, especially if you want to save time and resources. A key reason to consider this is that it ensures accuracy and reliability in your financial administration. When you outsource your bookkeeping, it is managed by experts who are up to date with the latest regulations. This minimises the risk of errors and prevents potential fines or other complications.

Additionally, an external partner can ensure timely and correct tax returns, reducing the stress of deadlines. The greatest advantage is that you can focus on your core business activities while we provide a solid financial foundation. Our experts also offer strategic advice to keep your organisation financially healthy and to make the most of opportunities.

Can I fully outsource my bookkeeping, or do I need to be involved?

Outsourcing your bookkeeping can be fully tailored to your preferences and needs. You can choose to delegate the entire administration, including invoice processing, tax returns, and annual reports, to us. This is ideal if you want to spend minimal time on administrative tasks. However, it is also possible to manage certain parts of the process yourself, such as approving payments or submitting data. This hybrid model offers you the flexibility to remain involved in specific aspects while we take care of the rest.

Our flexible approach means we adapt the collaboration entirely to your business needs. Whether you prefer a hands-off approach or wish to stay involved, we ensure your administration is managed efficiently and accurately, allowing you to focus on growth.
