Bookkeeping
We can help you with all your general bookkeeping requirements, either at your premises or at our office. You may require help to set-up or maintain your records through appropriate bookkeeping software, or need us to add the finishing touches to your information on bookkeeping systems in order to create your own management information. If you do not employ a bookkeeper then we can take up the role or help you recruit the right person for your business.
Our Bookkeeping Service ensures that you have all the benefits of the appropriate software, without having to train your own staff to use it, or paying for your own software. Using our software we take the information that you supply and provide you with monthly or quarterly reports to suit your specific business requirements. This complete bookkeeping service ensures that your accounts are handled with complete confidentiality.
Business Planning & Forecasts
Every business should plan ahead to ensure success, but daily business pressures often conspire to delay the strategic planning process. Financial forecasts are a crucial part of any business plan and we will ensure these are both meaningful and robust.
Business Start-Up
Most people starting up in business do so because they have a good business proposition, combined with the enterprise and commitment to see it through. However, they may not be experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business and such matters often appear daunting. Fortunately, you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business, but you will benefit from the support of a team of trained experts, such as our team at Anderson Barrowcliff. We can help—just bring us your business ideas and we will help you to make them a reality!
We will help you to:
- decide on the most suitable structure for your business—be that Sole Trader, Partnership, Limited Liability Partnership or Limited Company;
- prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts;
- assess the finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance and draw up the necessary proposals;
- establish a good working relationship with your bank;
- complete any registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise;

Management Information
Regular management information is vital to the continued success of any business. We work closely with you to get to know your business so we can make suggestions to help improve profits or to develop and grow your business. We can prepare your monthly or quarterly management accounts to ensure you always have reliable and accurate information on which to base your business decisions.
Payroll
Running a payroll can be time-consuming and complicated and divert resources from the core activities of your business. At Anderson Barrowcliff we run a first-class bureau service for over 15,000 client employees. We provide the solution for businesses who do not have in-house payroll expertise and our services include preparation of security payslips, payroll reports, dealing with PAYE, NIC, SSP, SMP, payment by BACS and completion and submission of end-of-year returns to the Inland Revenue. Alternatively, we can help with installing payroll software and training your staff to use that software.
We regularly keep our clients informed with the latest changes in payroll legislation and modifications in practice, endeavouring to help our payroll clients get up-to-speed with any changes, relieving them from the burden of the changes and avoid any unnecessary penalties for incorrect filing of payroll.
