Bookkeeping services for Blackpool and Lancashire

Whether you’re based in Blackpool, the Fylde or across Lancashire, an accurate bookkeeping system is essential. Keeping up to date and meaningful records is vital if you are to manage your business effectively and efficiently, and a reliable bookkeeping system is, or at least should be, the foundation upon which all your important business decisions are based.

But you need answers quickly.

• What are your sales?
• What are your overheads?
• How much do you owe your creditors?
• How much are you owed by your debtors?
• How do you ‘stand’ at the bank?
• How do your sales and overheads compare to this time last year?

And once you have the answers to these questions you can ask yourself, what profits can you expect to make if you continue to trade as you are now? Or, if you are projecting a loss, what can be done now to change things, before it is too late?

These are just some of the bookkeeping questions that you, along with countless other Blackpool businesses, will be asking on a day to day basis or, if it’s not you, then it will be your banker or your financial advisor.

And to assist you, we at Business Support will tailor our Fylde Coast-based bookkeeping service to meet your needs. We’ve provided bookkeeping services and bookkeeping advice for businesses across the Blackpool and wider Lancashire areas.

Some of our clients are happy to send their paperwork in to us once a quarter when, as well as writing-up their books, we also prepare their VAT Returns; some prefer us to visit their premises and work on site.

Others want to do the bookkeeping themselves but require advice on the records they should keep, coupled with training.

But whatever your needs we will always recommend the simplest system (although one that will still give you the information you need to run your business). Our philosophy is to simplify, rather than complicate, bookkeeping for Blackpool and Lancashire businesses!

Don’t install accounts software if spreadsheets will suffice but, conversely, don’t get bogged down in manual double-entry bookkeeping when use of powerful 'off-the-shelf' software would be more efficient.

Many Lancashire businesses will see bookkeeping as a necessary evil but at Business Support we, not unnaturally, stress the positives that come from accurate and up to date records – problems are highlighted immediately they arise and timely decisions can then be taken to solve them, and good records will mean your accountant will spend less time preparing your accounts and that, in turn, will mean lower charges.

Apart from the peace of mind it offers, outsourcing your bookkeeping to us, as other Blackpool and Fylde businesses have done, also makes commercial sense.

How can you afford not to do it?
