My daughter has recently set up her own business and it has really taken off.  She has been struggling to keep on top of all the finances though and while I don’t mind helping her out it’s time she got some professional help.  I asked around and got her the details of www.localaccountantsharlow.co.uk (more…)

Whether it was my GCSE Maths lessons fifteen years ago or balancing my books, I have to be honest, I hate it. I have always found Maths a struggle, and I still do. When I started my own business I decided that doing my own books would save me a lot of money, but after six months of attempting to do them, I realised that I was not meant to be an accountant. I decided to outsource my accounts, a found a brilliant company who could help me: www.charteredaccountantsbishopsstortford.co.uk.

Every year I forget about my insurance until the day comes around when it needs to be renewed again. The rates seem to get higher every year, but insurance is essential for me because I own a business and I have employees to look after now and I need to make sure that everything is covered. I find it hard sometimes to know where you can really go for advice about the best insurance for you. Luckily for me, I found the advice and services that I was looking for with www.insuranceservicesbishopsstortford.co.uk.

Ideally, we need somebody to deal with our company accounts pretty sharpish. I run a small fish and chip shop outside of Harlow and whilst I generally do the company accounts myself, I am starting to find it a little too much to sort out now. Working in the shop as well, it’s very difficult to find the time to sort out the accounts, as well as manage all the other aspects of the business. So, I’ve decided it’s time to get some help!

I went straight online and looked for company accounts to which I found a website called www.companyaccountsharlow.co.uk. The company seems to offer all the services I wish for so I am sure they would be a great choice. There are lots of websites like www.companyaccountsharlow.co.uk that I need to have some sort of suspicions about me! (more…)

We’d used the Quickbook accounting systems for several years in my company. It worked really well for us.

But recently our trusted accountant retired and we wanted to start afresh with a new accountancy company.

I searched online for Quickbook accountants in Bishops Stortford where the company is based. Several companies came up. I approached the top four local companies listed. (more…)

As a small business owner, it’s really important to me to get my accounts sorted out quickly and painlessly.

I’ve never been very good with money, so my wife insisted on me employing someone to do the job.

I looked up company accountants in Harlow where we live on the internet. There were loads of accountants, and I have to admit I only looked at the first four to come up. (more…)

I recently started running my own business on the side of my full time job. Whilst it’s probably not something which I think I’d like to do on a full time basis, I enjoy doing it on the side as an extra money maker.

As I am doing more and more on the side, I am looking for some accountancy advice in Harlow to get me started on the best way of dealing with having a second job. Because I’ve not had any previous experience in being self employed, I am struggling a bit in terms of what tax to pay and how I am meant to carry out my work in conjunction with the tax man!

My husband set up his own business last year as a self-employed truck driver based in Bishops Stortford. He used to work for other people but soon realised that he could make more money doing it on his own. He had built up a good client base already and managed to get plenty of work. (more…)
