Accounts Department
It’s always the same.
Just when you are busy serving a customer or in the middle of something equally important, the phone rings and it’s a supplier asking when an invoice will be paid. Or it’s a customer asking for a statement to be sent.
Important things, true, but small things that could easily be handled by someone else. So, let us handle it for you! After all, we have the paperwork immediately to hand, and you would likely just call for it anyway.
How does it work?
We will provide you with a dedicated email address AND a dedicated phone number that you can give to your clients and suppliers, so when they need something, they contact us direct. And because the phone number is dedicated to your business, we know exactly how to answer when they call and will have the information at our fingertips.
We will be your accounts department.
Set up a dedicated email address for accounts@yourdomain (if you don’t already have one) and forward all incoming email from that address to us.
Provide you with a dedicated phone number that you can give to customers and suppliers.
Email monthly statements to your customers on an agreed date each month.
Request statements from your suppliers if not received by an agreed date each month.
Reconcile supplier accounts and request any missing invoices identified from them.
Place invoices on hold, where required.
Provide a point of contact for basic accounts queries and only pass on matters to you that actually require your attention.
So hopefully we have convinced you to take the next step and get in touch.
If you fill out the simple form below, we can call you at a time that suits you to chat through the whole process. Because of distancing restrictions, we can’t currently meet in person but we can chat over the phone or arrange a video call using any of the most popular conferencing software that have popped up in the last year or so.
If you would prefer to call us, please call 0141 375 1240 during usual working hours.
Why are we doing this?
First and foremost, we know the hospitality sector. Working with so many bars and restaurants in Glasgow over the years has allowed us to develop processes and systems that are particularly suited to this sector. We also know just how badly affected the whole sector has been by Covid. It’s been brutal for everyone, but it’s been absolutely devastating for your industry.
So a big part of this deal is simply because we want to help.
We want to do something to help businesses get through 2021 and hopefully have a strong 2022. This is not altruism, we want to build strong relationships with Bars and Restaurants in this sector for years to come and for that to happen there needs to be a hospitality sector to work with.
When the government announced furlough, we provided the necessary support for making the claims for no additional charge. We know a lot of accountancy firms and payroll providers took a different route, but for us it just seemed wrong to be charging clients for accessing a service designed to help them survive. Because put simply. If our clients don’t survive, we don’t survive.
We know that we can provide an exceptional service to bars and restaurants. We know we can make your lives easier, and we know we can provide you with really useful management information. And now, more than ever, getting on top of your books and having good information to run your business is critical.
We don’t do hourly rates, we provide fixed price quotes because that fixed pricing can allow you some stability in what is still a rough road ahead. By doing the bookkeeping for free, we can help our local businesses and trust that by the end of the year, we will have shown you just how valuable our service can be for a prosperous future beyond lockdown.
