Unity Bookkeeping

One thing I've never got tired of over the years is getting stuck into a good bookkeeping challenge!

Give me a backlog of bookkeeping, accounts that need tidying up or a pile of transactions that need sorting, and I'm quite happy getting stuck in!

Over the years, I've worked with all sorts of businesses, and no two are ever quite the same. That's one of the things that keeps the job interesting.

I started Unity Bookkeeping because I wanted to use my experience to help small business owners keep on top of their finances, without bookkeeping becoming another thing on their never-ending to-do list.

If your bookkeeping could do with a little attention, I'd be happy to help.

5 Simple Ways to Keep Your Bookkeeping Organised

A little organisation can go a long way when it comes to managing your business finances!

Here are five simple habits that can make bookkeeping easier:

🧾 1. Keep your receipts together
Whether they're digital or paper, having everything in one place makes life much easier.

⏰ 2. Set aside regular bookkeeping time
Keeping things up to date little and often can save a lot of time later.

💳 3. Keep business and personal spending separate
It makes tracking transactions clearer and helps keep your records organised.

🔎 4. Check your bank transactions regularly
Regular reconciliations help ensure everything is recorded accurately.

💻 5. Make the most of your bookkeeping software
Using the features available can help you stay organised and reduce unnecessary admin.

💡Even small changes to your routine can make a big difference over time.

Do you have a favourite way of keeping your business paperwork organised?

Already have an accountant? You might still benefit from a bookkeeper!

Accountants and bookkeepers often work alongside each other, but their roles can be quite different.

A bookkeeper helps keep your financial records accurate and up to date throughout the year. This can include recording transactions, reconciling bank accounts, managing VAT returns and keeping your bookkeeping organised.

An accountant will use those records to prepare year-end accounts, deal with tax matters and provide financial advice.

Having a bookkeeper looking after your day-to-day records means your accountant can receive organised, accurate information when it's needed.

At Unity Bookkeeping, I work with small businesses to keep their bookkeeping running smoothly and their accounts ready for their accountant at year end.

Cash Accounting vs Invoice Accounting - what's the difference?

If you're VAT registered, did you know that the way you account for VAT can make a difference to your business's cash flow?

With Cash Accounting, VAT is based on when you receive payments from customers and pay your suppliers.

With Invoice Accounting, VAT is based on tax points, usually invoice dates, regardless of whether payment has been made.

Neither method is necessarily better than the other. It depends on how your business operates, how quickly your customers pay and when you pay your suppliers.

Take a look at the images for a simple explanation, practical examples and a few things to consider.

At Unity Bookkeeping, I help small businesses keep their bookkeeping organised, their VAT records accurate and their accounts up to date.

If you're looking for friendly, reliable bookkeeping support, I'd love to hear from you.

Please note: The examples illustrate the usual VAT treatment. Eligibility requirements and exceptions apply to the Cash Accounting Scheme.

📝 Is bookkeeping always at the bottom of your to-do list?

Running a business keeps you busy, and it's easy for the paperwork to pile up.

Here are three signs your bookkeeping might need some attention:

✅ You're always putting it off until tomorrow.

✅ Your records aren't up to date, so you're not sure where your business stands financially.

✅ VAT deadlines or year end are approaching, and there's a mountain of paperwork to get through!

Keeping on top of your bookkeeping doesn't have to be stressful. A little organisation throughout the year can make a real difference.

If bookkeeping is taking up time you'd rather spend running your business, Unity Bookkeeping is here to help. 🫶

It's Friday!!!
Another busy week done at Unity Bookkeeping.

There have definitely been plenty of spreadsheets, numbers and cups of coffee involved! 🤣

But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I really do enjoy what I do, and I'm very grateful to the clients who trust me with their businesses.

Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🥰
