Bookkeeping rarely goes wrong loudly. It goes wrong quietly - an invoice never sent, a payment never chased, a receipt never filed - and the cost only shows up at year end when it is expensive to fix.

What your assistant handles

• Raising invoices on schedule and following up politely until they are paid.
• Logging and categorising expenses as they happen, not in a panic later.
• Reconciling bank and card statements so surprises surface early.
• Preparing supplier payment runs for your approval.
• Payroll support and keeping contractor records straight.
• A short monthly picture of what came in, what went out and what is outstanding.

Money never moves without you

Your assistant works with read and draft permissions by default. They prepare payments and flag what is due, but the release is always yours. We will never ask for banking passwords or card details.

Working with your accountant

The point of keeping this current is that year end stops being an event. Your assistant keeps the ledgers in the state your accountant actually wants them in, which usually means a smaller bill and far fewer questions in January.
