Accountants in South West London – local and remote
Although a lot of bookkeeping work is done these days in the cloud and, in principle, can be done from anywhere, there is a huge benefit in a local relationship.
It could be:
- we can pop in to help your team with their bookkeeping and finance work
- if you outsource your bookkeeping to us, we can do it at your place or ours, most likely a bit of both
- we can meet at your office or ours to discuss your numbers, profitability, cashflow or anything else that’s important and requires a face to face meeting
- we know someone we can recommend that provides services that you’re looking for – and vice versa
So, if you’ve come this far then read on. Find out more about how we can help your business.
The importance of good bookkeeping
Good bookkeeping is at the heart of every successful business.
Bookkeeping must be correct and complete if it’s to be useful and this is a skill like any other professional business service.
Any errors and omissions will mean the financial information you rely on to run your business will be wrong.
Embrace the technology which continues to improve bookkeeping – making it more efficient and accessible – and, if you need it, call in some outside help.
But the key message is: get on top and stay on top of your bookkeeping!
And don’t overlook that outsourcing your bookkeeping might be a sensible approach, leaving you and your colleagues free to focus on your business.
How useful is your management information?
No one buys accounting software because they want accounting software!
You buy accounting software because you need to measure and improve the financial performance of your business. And, we shouldn’t forget, to get on top of a bit of compliance such as VAT and payroll.
So, if the real reason for all this accounting lark is to produce useful financial information then:
- how good are your management accounts
- is information getting to the people that need it and are they acting on it?
- how do you keep on top of who owes you money
- do you have any cashflow worries
Making sure our clients have the financial information they need to run their businesses and improve performance has always been at the heart of everything we do.

Profit from experience
Our focus on profit and improving profitability comes from the fact that we’ve all worked in businesses, not just in the accounting profession.
From the get-go we’ve embedded ourselves in clients’ businesses to help them be more profitable looking at issues such as:
- customer profitability
- proof of profit
- using accounting software as it should be
- improving margins – so you make more money from every sale
Sure, there’s a theory to all these things, there’s a text book, but there’s also the real world.
The competitive, uncertain, wonderful, disappointing real world – the one that doesn’t owe you a living.
That’s we we work, where we help businesses to get results, it’s where our blog was written and it’s where we can help you!
Annual accounts and tax
Someone, perhaps a bit like you, told us that “the year-end accounts process should take care of itself“. And, you know what, she was right.
So long as your bookkeeping is up to date and there is regular management information that’s being produced, reviewed and acted on then the annual accounts and your tax liability should be pretty straight-forward to produce.
Of course, your accounts don’t need to be submitted to Companies House earlier just because they are ready, but it’s a job that’s done and you have clarity about how much corporation tax you need to pay.
So, if you’re looking for accountants in South West London…..
Then call us today – 020 7125 0270 or email info@bluedotconsulting.co.uk – we’ll put the kettle on.
