Hi, I'm Clare, a not so boring accountant and bookkeeper.
I work with all types of trade; current clients include hairdressers, plumbers, builders, beauty therapists, electricians and many more. Most are local to Hemyock but some are not. With technology this need not be a problem.
Do you need more time to work on your business rather than drowning in a sea of paperwork? I can take that paperwork and present you with digital reports about the financial welfare of your business. Your tax and VAT returns will all be submitted correctly and quickly, without any stress on your part (except of course for the paying part!).
I promise to always use plain English and produce your numbers quickly and efficiently.
Call or email to have a chat about your business.
