Welcome to Pettycash Bookkeeping
I'm Sarah and I have run Pettycash Bookkeeping here in the Scottish Highlands since 2019. I love history and the outdoors so its a great place to be.
It's tough running your own business and still finding time for yourself and your family. My little boy certainly keeps me on my toes! So lets free up some time for you to enjoy what really matters to you, whether that's family movie night or getting in a run before work.
So what does a Bookkeeper actually do for you?
-
I organise your receipts and upload them to your books to ensure every expense is included, even on days you forgot your business card.
-
I categorise your expenses to make sure your books are a true reflection of your business cash flow
-
I record your invoices and mark them as paid so you can see who owes you what.
-
I run reports to keep you updated with where you and your business are at.
-
I use various online software packages to suit your needs ensuring you're ready for Making Tax Digital
-
Everything I do is online so no need to run to the Post Office every month with statements and receipts
-
At the end of each month I reconcile your transactions against your bank statement to make sure nothing is missed or duplicated
-
I prepare and submit your Self-Assessment and VAT Returns
-
I work with your Accountant to make sure your Year End Accounts are on time and accurate
So if you're ready to get your books in order, or just want a hand getting your Self-Assessments taken care of, please get in touch.
Quickbooks
Quickbooks is one of the most popular platforms with over 4.5 million users worldwide. It is great for medium to large businesses or those with lots of clients to keep track of.
It's a good all round bookkeeping package that allows you to easily keep track of invoices and sales receipts.
Quickbooks also helps you manage your tax and VAT liabilities. You can store completed returns for future refence and keep track of any payments or refunds.
FreeAgent gives you a simple and straightforward way of reading your books so its easy for you to watch your business grow.
It's perfect for small businesses and sole traders who just want to keep track or their accounts without the need for some of the more advanced options that come with more in depth packages.
Xero is the system I use for my busier clients.
It's great for more in depth books because you can track inventory, pay bills and even send invoices all from one site.
Best of all it's all online so there's no need to print copies or post anything! You can do everything you need to right from your laptop.
I am a Xero Certified Advisor so, whether you're already using Xero or would like to sign up, I can help you really get the most out of it's features.
My Background
As well as gaining my qualifications in Bookkeeping, I'm a FreeAgent Partner, a Xero Certified Advisor and a Quickbooks Pro Adviser. That means I know how to make the most of your chosen software.
To make sure your private business stays private my Anti Money Laundering protocols are supervised by HMRC and I'm registered with the Information Commissioners Office, so you know that you're information is in safe hands.
