I Wish I Knew How To Do My Own Bookkeeping

Don't let your bookkeeping drive you crazy!

Don't let your bookkeeping drive you crazy!

I’ll show you the quick, easy and affordable way to do your own bookkeeping to a high standard

For some small business owners, bookkeeping can be terribly worrying and confusing … but it really doesn’t have to be that way.

Deciding how to manage the bookkeeping function in your business is a critically important decision because it can ultimately make or break your business.  For example, just keeping an iron grip on your business’s cash flow will be absolutely vital to your survival.

You may therefore be surprised that the Business Renegade Bookkeeping Service can empower you to quickly and easily handle your own bookkeeping to an extremely high standard, even if you have little or no prior bookkeeping experience.

Starting From Scratch, You Can Literally Learn The Bookkeeping Basics Within 90 Minutes

With our sure-fire video training package, you will be shown how to make entries into our training business.  This shows you, click-by-click, how to do all the basic bookkeeping functions.

Step-by-step you will even be shown how to make data entries and how to reconcile your bank account and petty cash and produce the VAT return, if that is appropriate for your business.

This training remains available to you for future reference or to enable you to train other people in your business if you wish to delegate the bookkeeping function to someone else.  For example, if the person responsible for your bookkeeping is absent for a period of time, this could give you the vital flexibility you need to get the job done.

Alternatively, we are always here to back you up.

By Doing Your Bookkeeping On A Spreadsheet, You May Be Committing a Bookkeeping ‘Stinker’

Many small businesses make the mistake of listing their income and expenses on a simple spreadsheet.  Here are a few good reasons why this may not be the best solution for your business:

  • Unless extreme care is exercised, problems often arise with the formulae on spreadsheets that render the information inaccurate.
  • Our software encourages you to cross-reference all data entries to your paperwork for easy retrieval and auditing, thereby saving valuable time when hunting down paperwork.  (We also supply you with our unique manual advising you exactly how to organise your paperwork for maximum efficiency.)
  • Our bookkeeping software incorporates bank and cash reconciliation modules to help you to ensure that all entries are included and that they balance i.e. to ensure that your bookkeeping is accurate to the last penny.
  • Our software produces management reports that would be difficult to replicate using a spreadsheet without having expert programming capability.
  • Many of the checks and balances incorporated within our bookkeeping software would have to be carried out expensively by your accountant if you don’t do them.
  • Our software has predictive capability, saving you a lot of time on data entry.
  • Our software gives you the ability to ‘lock-down’ your bookkeeping each month when complete.

I hope that this has convinced you that using a spreadsheet will ultimately cost you more time and money.

Alternatively, You May Have Committed Another Bookkeeping ‘Stinker’ By Purchasing Expensive Accounting Software Which You Cannot Understand Or Use

Unless you have some accounting skills and training, many accounting packages are over-complicated for the vast majority of small businesses. This is a problem because:

  • You may need to spend even more money and time to train yourself to use the software properly.
  • Alternatively, you may have to hire in someone with the necessary expertise to use the software and, if they are qualified, this will not be at the minimum wage rate!  If they know more than you do, how do you know that they are doing the job properly or not defrauding you?
  • Most expensively, you may seek to rely on the support of your accountant to do a job which you can carry out better yourself at a much lower cost.
  • Also, the more complicated the software is, the longer you will take to compile your books and the more difficult it will be to find and rectify problems.

If you are using a complicated accounting package, ultimately it may prove more cost-effective for you to write off the expense and swap over to our service.

We Recommend That You Use The ‘KISS’ Principle – Keep It Simple & Straightforward

Whilst our bookkeeping software is very simple and easy to use, you will be amazed by the amount of information that it delivers to help you run to your business:

  • A simple profit & loss account
  • Cash flow information or Money In/Money Ou
  • It generates sales invoices and statements, if required.
  • An aged named debtor and creditors analysis, if required.
  • Detailed analysis is available covering customer and supplier activity.
  • Details for your VAT return, if required.
  • Bank and cash reconciliation modules
  • Data required by your accountant to prepare full management accounts or year end accounts.
  • Summary information in a graphical format.

-          And much more

Our powerful Bookkeeping Software Is Designed By A Professional Accountant To Save You Time & Money (Not By A Software Programmer Who Has Never Been An Accountant)

It takes an experienced professional to extract simplicity from complexity – to pare the software down to the essentials required to do the job most effectively.  Consider these benefits:

  • I’ve already mentioned speed of data entry.  Accountants more than anyone else know that ‘time is money’ as they often work with time-sheets.  Speed of data entry is therefore vital in order to cut the job down to size.
  • Our bookkeeping software is designed to minimise the amount of time spent on low-value activities by your accountant when producing your final accounts, so that more time can be spent on tax-saving or business growth advice (or simply a lower fee!)
  • If you should be unfortunate enough to chosen for a tax investigation, by using our software, it is much less likely that Customs & Excise will be able to ‘break your books’ and impose large penalties.  They will simply move on because there are easier pickings elsewhere.
  • By offering you a monthly fixed fee agreed upfront, you will not be subject to surprise add-on expenses such as buying bespoke stationery, extra support or training costs.
  • Our automated data back-up system, makes it easy for you to ensure that you enter your data only once.
  • Automatic updates and upgrades are delivered without you even having to think about it – for example, our software was updated automatically with the recent change in VAT rates.
  • You can transfer data files easily at the click of a button, which facilitates our remote support.

Notwithstanding all the benefits I have mentioned so far, I would go as far as to say that our SUPPORT is the main benefit of our service in helping you to tackle the bookkeeping challenges which regularly arise.  As our valued client John Craddock of R John Craddock & Associates says:

The system is only a part of the package – of equal importance is your support and genuine interest in helping your client, which we have found to be invaluable, timely and clear.

We are more than thoroughly satisfied with the system and would not hesitate to recommend it to any other business which may be a potential client for you.

Although I say it myself, our support alone is worth the measly fee we are asking.

What You Can Measure, you Can Manage

It is also crucial to understand that simply ‘keeping the score’ for HM Customs & Excise is not the main purpose of your bookkeeping.

Our philosophy is that your management information should be timely, accurate and understandable to enable you to make better decisions.  In other words, that the information should empower you to ‘make a better score’.

If you use the output from your bookkeeping properly, and we can show you how, it is no longer a ‘cost’ but an ‘investment’ in your business and your personal welfare.

Using Our Safe & Secure Bookkeeping Service Is Risk Free

How can I prove to you that everything I have told you so far is true?  You could speak to our clients but I am only ever likely to refer you to the clients that really like us (which is all of them!)

I could stuff my script with testimonials but you might not believe them.  Or I could simply point you in the direction of 5,000 other businesses that are already using our software.

But wouldn’t it be even better if I allowed you to …

Try Before You Buy

Before you pay us a penny, why don’t I email you a copy of our bookkeeping software together with the training package for a free trial?  You can do the training in around 90 minutes and get a feel for the software.

Don’t take the word of others, decide for yourself.

Then if you want to take it a stage further and try it for your business, we’ll configure the bookkeeping software specifically to your requirements and you can start doing your own bookkeeping with our support.

You can decide to stop without penalty or continue and pay a low fixed fee.  With no long term contract, you can stop whenever you want and download all the information you have entered so far onto an excel spreadsheet.

That’s a genuine, gold-plated risk-free offer.

Furthermore I will send you a free bonus E-books that is yours to keep whatever you decide.
