Year-end accounts for NI businesses

Accounts should not be a year-end surprise. We close your books regularly, give you live management figures, and make year-end a formality not a fire drill.

Everything you need, nothing you do not

Frequently asked about business accounts

Which accounting software do you recommend?

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. For most SMEs we recommend Xero for its bank feeds, invoicing, and reporting. We will advise based on your business needs and on what is needed for Making Tax Digital.

What is the difference between management accounts and statutory accounts?

Statutory accounts are the annual filing required by Companies House. Management accounts are internal reports, usually monthly or quarterly, that help you understand performance and make decisions. Both are important.

Can you take over from our current bookkeeper?

Yes. We handle the transition, verify the opening balances, and ensure nothing is lost in the handover. We work with your previous bookkeeper to make the switch clean.

How often will I hear from you?

At minimum, quarterly when we deliver your management report. Most clients speak to us monthly. We are available by phone and email throughout.
