Every business needs robust bookkeeping and accounting

How is my business performing financially?

Good bookkeeping is the foundation from which useful information flows. Financial information to be shared across your business with the people who can act on it.

What sort of information?

  • Profit and loss
  • Profit margins
  • Cashflow
  • Credit management

We help users to fully understand the information they’re looking at so they can act on it with confidence.

How could my business perform better?

This is the question every business owner is asking all the time! And the answers lie in profitability and cashflow.

Profitability:

  • Sell more
  • Increase prices and margins
  • Manage costs

Cashflow:

  • Increase prices and margins
  • Improve credit control
  • Pay suppliers regularly
  • Know the timing of the regular payments – net pay, PAYE, VAT, rent, corporation tax
Is my business compliant?

There are a lot of rules and regulations but good bookkeeping keeps many under control:

  • VAT falls out of the bookkeeping
  • PAYE and workplace pensions fall out of using good payroll software
  • Annual accounts and corporation tax returns are produced from good bookkeeping

And at the moment there is a huge amount of change coming from Companies House and changes to accounting standards.

Am I on top
of taxes?

The main business taxes fall out of good bookkeeping – VAT, PAYE and corporation tax.

Knowing when to pay falls out of attention to cashflow.

There’s also a strong link between the profits of the business, the earnings of the owners and the tax payable on those earnings.

“How to pay less tax” is largely a chimera but being on top of tax is something we can help you with.

Trusted by many

“As the business owner, it can get lonely making all the decisions.  I feel I have a ‘silent FD’ that I can call, challenge and that any idea is OK to discuss, and to arrive at a sensible way forward.”

“I really enjoy working with Blue Dot Consulting — they’ve helped me take control of our financial situation in a practical, no-nonsense way.

They take a common-sense approach and, most importantly, they get things done. For example, we now have weekly planning and forecasting calls, along with monthly cash flow reviews using simple, easy-to-understand spreadsheets.

Their support has made a huge difference in how we manage and plan for the future.”

“I’m no expert but it has been transformative the help and advice I get from Michael and his team.

Michael was fantastic. He quizzed me on how my business worked financially and was super patient with me. Explaining everything in a non-accountancy manner. He then showed me how to utilise all the less obvious tools in the program, which he continues to do, so that I can see immediately what monies held belonged to my company and what is held for clients. I now do my own VAT returns and payroll because of his help and continued support.”
