Book-keeping FAQs
What does a bookkeeper do?
A bookkeeper, or an accountant providing bookkeeping services, will keep and process your business’ financial records, including information on sales, purchases and, if applicable, payroll. Bookkeepers tend to focus on the day-to-day financial transactions of a business, whereas engaging the services of an accountant will look at your business’ wider financial picture, combining financial documentation with other services such as tax planning, tax returns, payroll, etc.
Is a bookkeeper the same as an accountant?
Bookkeepers and accountants often do the same work; however, usually perform the job differently. A bookkeeper will record and process financial transactions, and generally keep your business organised financially; an accountant will do the same job, but can also provide additional services such as business financial analysis and consultations, as long as they have more knowledge regarding tax issues.
Do I need an accountant for bookkeeping?
No, you do not legally need an accountant for bookkeeping; however, it can be very beneficial for your business to do so. Managing a business is difficult enough, and bookkeeping can take up a vast amount of your precious time. Engaging an accountant such as Hayvenhurts to provide your business with bookkeeping can free up your time, along with giving you the peace of mind knowing that your company is financially up-to-date and efficient, with all money matters taken care of.
Can a bookkeeper do tax returns?
Many bookkeepers are able to do tax returns and VAT returns, however, not all bookkeepers will offer these services. Hayvenhursts Chartered Accountants can provide your business with both efficient book-keeping services, and any other services your business may require, such as tax returns, payroll, PAYE, and tax planning.
