Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I do bookkeeping?

Keeping your books up to date is essential for the financial health of your business. Here’s how often you should update them:

  • Daily: for larger businesses or those with high transaction volumes
  • Weekly: for most small and medium-sized enterprises; this helps keep track of cash flow and identify any issues quickly
  • Monthly: this is the minimum frequency to ensure all transactions are recorded, and financial statements are current

Regular updates can prevent errors and give you a clear picture of your business performance.

What happens if I don’t do bookkeeping for my business?

If you neglect bookkeeping for your business, your financial records can quickly become disorganised and incomplete, making it difficult to track income and expenses accurately. This disorganisation can lead to massive cash flow problems, as you won’t have a clear picture of your available funds and obligations. Additionally, failing to maintain proper records can result in missed tax deadlines, incorrect tax filings, and potential penalties from HMRC. Why put yourself in that situation? Take our help!

Can I do my bookkeeping myself, or should I hire a professional?

While you can handle your own bookkeeping, it requires a good understanding of financial principles and meticulous attention to detail. If you're a small business owner with limited time, or if your transactions are complex, hiring a professional can save you time and prevent costly mistakes. A professional bookkeeper ensures your records are accurate, compliant with regulations, and ready for year-end accounting. This allows you to focus on growing your business instead of getting bogged down in financial admin.
