Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is at the heart of what we do. We work with business owners of all shapes and sizes, from those who bring us detailed records already reconciled and ready to do, to those who give us a bin liner of receipts to work through. We’ve yet to receive a shoebox of VAT receipts via carrier pigeon, but we remain hopeful. Whatever you want your bookkeeping experience to look like, we’re ready to provide first-class bookkeeping experience for you.

The Safe Hands Difference

We find a lot of people are worried they won’t understand the financial reports we produce for them, or what they need to do with them next. But fear not! Safe Hands operates a strict jargon-free communication policy, which means we lay everything out in plain English and help you understand everything about your business finances from day 1. We can also help you use that information to grow and improve your business, from looking at profit margins to cutting costs.

Our bookkeeping services cover all of the areas you need to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently, including:

BILLS, RECEIPTS & ‘OUT OF POCKET’ EXPENSES

Sorting, capturing and digitising all of your expenditure accurately, and making sure VAT is claimed and eligible expenses are offset against tax.

BANK RECONCILIATION

Bank reconciliation is often the most time-consuming part of doing the books – but not for you! Relax as we match up your bank accounts and balance it all up, so you can see at a glance what your true balance is and what actions you need to take.

VAT SUBMISSION

We can handle the nitty gritty of working with subcontractors. From verifying them for you to processing invoices and CIS deduction calculations, monthly payment certificates and CIS reconciliation for tax purposes. In other words, we handle the difficult bits for you!

SALES INVOICES

Ensure your customers are invoiced the right amount at the right time, every time. We can also check your bank and mark invoices as paid, to take one more annoying item off your to-do list.

CREDIT CONTROL

Keep a healthy cash flow by leaving us to contact your customers, encourage invoices to be paid before the due date and fix any issues with payments that might arise with sensitivity and care.

Don’t just take our word for it…

A faultless service

Deborah Fry

I made the transition from being a sole trader to a limited company in 2015, and was very lucky to come across Jason’s / Safe Hands’ details. Jason has since provided me with a faultless service and I would have no reservations at all in highly recommending his book keeping services.

Jason

Safe Hands Bookkeeping is Jason’s brainchild, and however much he protests, it will always be his baby. After he left his job in Barclays (which he’d held for a whopping 21 years), he decided it was high time he struck out on his own. He played around with a few business ideas, but in the end, it was bookkeeping that stuck. Add on how long he’s been in bookkeeping, and Jason has a whopping 27 years’ experience in the financial world. He built Safe Hands to be a fun place to work and be a client. No hierarchies or complicated jargon – just people helping people be the best they can, and laughing a lot along the way! But he’s not all work. Jason has three fur-children with his husband Mark – two cats called Sterling and Baxter (brother and sister), and a bulldog called Ethel, who spends most of her time in the Safe Hands Office. They also have eight nieces and nephews, and see it as their job to spoil them rotten! In that precious free time, Jason enjoys running marathons and travelling to exotic places to have adventures.
