Why accurate bookkeeping matters
Every other number a business reports starts in the bookkeeping. Incomplete or late records make VAT returns, annual accounts and tax returns slower and more expensive to produce, and they limit what the figures can tell you. Sole traders must keep records of business income and expenses for Self Assessment, and limited companies must keep company and accounting records, so good bookkeeping is also a legal duty. Sources: GOV.UK, business records if you’re self-employed and running a limited company.
Reliable books connect directly to the rest of our work: VAT returns, annual accounts and corporation tax and management accounts.
