Do you understand just how important good quality bookkeeping records are for your small business? Let Fox Evans Accountants in Coventry give you 5 good reasons why….

 

 

1. In order to check the financial health of your business, you will need to manage your cashflow, and know what money is due in and out at any point in time. Without accurate records it is unlikely you will be able to do this effectively.

 

2. Monitoring the levels of your profit throughout the year will give you a good indication of how your business is doing, and enable you to adapt promptly.

 

3. How do you decide how much to charge for your products and services? Do you know what it costs you to produce those products, or to deliver your services? Accurate records of your expenses and costs will allow you to judge whether your sales price and margins are correct.

 

4. It is a legal requirement to maintain and retain accounting records. HMRC can ask to inspect them at anytime, and this process if far easier if your books are in good order to begin with.

 

5. The better the quality of the records you keep, the easier it will be for your accountant when producing your year end accounts, therefore saving you in professional fees!
