Cash flow

 

Cash flow reports can be produced upon  request. They will help highlight historial fluctuation and can predict future areas of concern. The old addage, cash is king, is just as true in our digital age as it was all those years ago.

Credit control

 

Getting paid on time by your customers is critical to managing your cashflow. Not having enough money in the bank could mean your unable to pay employees and suppliers. Good credit control helps to keep things running smoothly - speak to us to find out how we can help.

A comprehensive set of reports can  be given to you upon request either regulary at the end of each month, or at any time you desire, to include:

Administration & ad-hoc services

 

Sometimes life happens and before you know it you have fallen behind with your day to day bookkeeping or maybe even fallen behind with some pretty important filing. If you need some temporary help or arent ready to decide if you want to permanently outsource why dont you speak to us about a trial period. We can either jump onboard to help you in the short term until you feel things are back in control or we can stay by your side a little longer until your either ready to take the reigns back or ready to engage with us on a more permanent basis. All projects welcome; however here are some examples where we have helped customers in the past.

  • "catch up" - Getting all of those bills and expenses recorded  and entered accuratly.
  • Ensuring sales invoices have been sent and payment chased.
  • Changing from one computer software package to another.
  • Setting up a new payroll scheme and adding existing or new employees.
  • Analysing spend, "A Supplier Audit" which can highlight potential savings and help with supplier negotiation - where appropriate. 
  • Producing a budget. An annual forecast of income and expenditure.

FAQ's

Common Questions from Customers before they join us.

Do I really need a bookkeeper?

Forbes Uk said that "When an effective bookkeeping system is in place, businesses have the knowledge and information that allows them to make the best financial decisions". Bookkeeping is our profession, its literally our bread and butter. If you dont enjoy the financial aspects to your business you are more likley to make mistakes, leave things to the last minute  and become disheartened by the task in front of you. Using a bookkeeper can help with this.

I don't have much paperwork is it still worth it ?

Sometimes it goes against the grain to pay someone else to do something that you can do. However using a bookkeeper can help free up time to focus on the business in hand. This can lead to increased motivaton, productivity and joy! 

How do I know what I need?

The answer to this question will be different for every business. A good place to start is a list. Write down all of the financial and accounting things that you do for the business. Then look to see which parts you might like to "delegate". Then talk through your list with our team to ensure that everything is being covered. After this just sit back and enjoy all that extra free time!

What’s the leading software for small businesses?

Bottom Line: QuickBooks is the best online accounting application for small businesses, thanks to its depth, flexibility, and extensibility. It’s easy to use, well-designed, and built to serve a wide variety of users” - Kathy Yakal, PCMag.com, Excellent 4.5*

Message from Claire

We understand that delegating your bookkeeping can feel scary, and it takes a great leap of faith to give someone else the responsibility for something that is so vital to your business's survival. Like any big decision, it shouldn’t be taken lightly, and its very important to consider all options available to you. At CASTdirect, we have designed our packages to allow you to dip your toe or go all in and every combination in between. We have an amazing team, and we are proud of the connections and partnerships that we have formed with accountants and financial advisors up and down the country. We know that it is in our best interest for your business to do well so we are as invested as you in doing things right. We want to be able to give you the big picture and the little details because it all matters when decisions need to be made.

 

So provide us the opportunity to help by calling 02393 190 155 or send us an email to hello@castdirectbookkeepingco.uk.

 

We really look forward to meeting you very soon
