Modern technology enables us to extend our reach throughout NI and the rest of the UK.

Making Tax Digital

What it is and how we can help you deal with it.

The Changes

The future of accounting will be online and digital. There is no escaping this trend.

Business owners need to embrace digital and online accounting, to be prepared to deal with the changes to accounts and tax submissions that will become law in due course. Adapting to online accounts now will make your life much easier later.

Modern bookkeeping systems will be in the Cloud, enabling remote access by you and your staff from any location. That is a huge change in itself. No more disc searching, back up boxes.

These systems are going to be maintained and linked automatically to source material - invoicing, banking records, etc - giving you contemporaneous records and real time financial reporting. You will be able to monitor your business results on a daily basis.

And it will also give you the tools to make direct submissions to HMRC in the process they are calling Making Tax Digital.

The Solutions

We work with, and have experience of, all of the main cloud bookkeeping providers - FreeAgent, Quickbooks, Xero - and can take you through the process of taking your accounting online.

Our joint access to these systems enables us to monitor your bookkeeping and accounting records, directing you to where matters needs to be reconciled and maintained, ensuing your records are satisfactory for submission purposes and decision making.

We also work with Bank software for small businesses operating their banking through one of the many new Challenger Banks.

All of these systems will save you time and more importantly, will reduce your accounting costs!
