Bookkeeping FAQS
We don’t currently produce any monthly management information, but our business has grown and we know we need to start. Help!
You’re not alone. This is a really common turning point for growing businesses. We’ll start with a conversation to get under the skin of how your business works, including your goals, your key processes, and what really matters to you.
From there, we’ll review your existing systems and identify what’s already available – and where we can build smarter, tailored reports to give you the insights you need. At the very least, we’ll set you up with clear monthly P&L, balance sheet and budget comparisons, tracking how you’re performing month-on-month and year-to-date. And if you want to go deeper, we can break it down by product, team or location – whatever gives you the clearest picture.
We’ve just secured investment, and need to find suitable accounting software and establish accounting processes and controls for our new business. Can you help?
Getting your software right from day one will save you a lot of time and stress later. When assessing the right choice for you, we’ll start by getting to grips with how your business is set up, and what your investors will expect in terms of reporting and controls.
We can walk you through the pros and cons of different accounting software – like Xero, QuickBooks or Sage – and help you choose the best fit for your needs now, with room to scale as you grow.
From there, we’ll help map out the key processes: how transactions are recorded, how responsibilities are shared, and how your month-end close works. We’ll also set clear timelines for reporting, whether that’s monthly or quarterly, so everything runs smoothly – and your stakeholders get the information they need, when they need it.
Our finance director/controller is retiring, please can you provide cover whilst we recruit?
Absolutely. We can provide both long- and short-term support, whether you’re an existing client, or approaching Burgess Hodgson for the first time.
We’re well-versed in being called on to fill roles at short notice, and are pros at getting under the skin of your business quickly. We can even offer an interim review of your controls and accounts at the same time.
