Ongoing accounting services

Accounting that starts with understanding the business

To us, accounting does not begin with entering an invoice. It begins with understanding the transaction behind it. We take responsibility for day-to-day accounting and the related tax and reporting processes. We keep information organised and traceable — not only for statutory filings, but also when it is needed to support a business decision.

Who it is for

For companies that want a clear process for documents, deadlines, and communication with their accounting team.

A thorough understanding of the business is particularly important where there is VAT registration, cross-border trade, multiple banking and payment channels, fixed assets, online sales, or other specific transactions.

What makes the process work

We can organise and control the accounting process, but we cannot replace information that exists only within the client’s business.

An invoice does not always explain why a purchase was made, what a contract covers, or how an asset will actually be used. When that information matters, we ask for it.

If we do not understand a transaction, we ask.

How we start working together

  1. We learn about the business and the current state of its accounting.

  2. We agree the scope, document flow, deadlines, responsibilities, and communication process.

  3. When replacing an existing accountant, we define the information required to continue from a clear starting point.

Questions clients ask us

We are changing accountants. What do we need to prepare?

We provide a specific list based on the business and the systems it uses. It will usually include accounting reports and data, VAT ledgers, information on assets, receivables and liabilities, personnel, and filed returns.

The company is below the general VAT threshold. Can registration still be required?

Yes. The general threshold is not the only basis for registration. Certain services to or from foreign parties, intra-Community acquisitions, and other specific circumstances may create a separate obligation. We review the transaction and the point at which the relevant basis arises.

We received an old invoice. In which period should it be recorded?

The period is not determined solely by the date on which the document arrived. We review the date of supply, the period to which it relates, its VAT treatment, and whether the previous period has already been closed.

Can an owner pay a company expense with a personal card?

This is possible, but the nature of the expense, its connection to the business, the supporting documents, and the balance with the owner must all be clear.

Can an owner simply withdraw money from the company?

Company funds are not automatically the owner’s personal funds. Every payment or withdrawal needs a clear basis, such as remuneration, expense reimbursement, a loan, a dividend, or another properly documented balance.

There is money in the bank account. Can the company distribute a dividend?

Cash in the bank is not the same as profit. Before a dividend is distributed, the financial result, accumulated profits and losses, the required resolution, and the company’s liquidity must be reviewed.
