Bookkeeping & Accounting

Accurate bookkeeping and efficient accounting are the foundation of every successful business. However, for many business owners, these essential tasks can consume valuable time and resources that would be better spent on growing the business and serving clients.

At Holland & Co Chartered Accountants, we take that burden off your shoulders. Our professional bookkeeping and accounting services are designed to save you time, reduce administrative stress, and ensure that your financial records are always accurate, compliant, and up to date.

Whether you prefer us to manage your bookkeeping remotely from our offices or on-site at your premises, we tailor our services to your exact needs and provide full transparency throughout the process.

Tailored Setup and Ongoing Support

We begin by discussing your specific business requirements and the systems you currently use. We then establish robust accounting procedures and internal controls to safeguard your business finances. Once implemented, we ensure your records are kept fully up to date and compliant with all statutory regulations, including HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) framework.

Our goal is not just to maintain your books, but to transform your financial data into meaningful information that helps you make better business decisions.

KashFlow and Cloud-Based Bookkeeping

We strongly recommend and support KashFlow, one of the UK’s most reliable and user-friendly cloud accounting systems, ideal for small and medium-sized businesses.

By using KashFlow, we can:

  • Provide you with real-time visibility of your business finances from anywhere, at any time.

  • Automate repetitive tasks such as invoicing, bank reconciliation, and VAT submissions.

  • Integrate your accounting with payroll, CIS, and expense tracking systems.

  • Ensure seamless digital compliance with HMRC’s MTD requirements.

  • Generate clear, visual dashboards that highlight cashflow, profit margins, and key performance trends.

We also work with other leading systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent, but our preferred platform for most clients is KashFlow due to its simplicity, affordability, and strong HMRC integration.

Our team can assist with software setup, staff training, and ongoing support to ensure you get maximum benefit from your chosen system.

Management Accounts and Performance Monitoring

Our bookkeeping service goes beyond data entry. We provide you with regular management accounts — monthly or quarterly — giving you clear insight into how your business is performing. These reports include analysis of:

  • Cashflow – helping you anticipate shortfalls and manage funding requirements.

  • Profitability – showing where your business is performing strongly and where improvements can be made.

  • Performance ratios – enabling you to benchmark performance against previous periods or industry norms.

  • Customer and sales activity – identifying trends and key client relationships.

  • Credit control – highlighting outstanding debts and assisting in recovery strategies.

  • Budget comparisons – monitoring actual performance against your financial plan to support informed decision-making.

Having access to timely management information means you can take corrective action early, plan ahead effectively, and ensure continued profitability.

Additional Accounting and Compliance Services

In addition to maintaining accurate bookkeeping, we can also relieve your staff of time-consuming accounting tasks, including:

  • Payroll administration – ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time, including PAYE, pensions, and auto-enrolment compliance.

  • VAT returns – preparation, submission, and advice on the most beneficial VAT schemes for your business.

  • Bank reconciliations – ensuring your accounting records match your actual financial transactions.

  • Annual accounts and year-end reporting – compliant with Companies House and HMRC requirements.

  • CIS compliance (for construction clients) – verifying subcontractors, calculating deductions, and filing monthly returns.

We ensure that all submissions are made accurately and on time, helping you avoid penalties and maintain full regulatory compliance.
