Book-keepers and Accountants – what's the difference?

The difference between the services provided by a book-keeper and those of an Accountant is that an Accountant will show the financial position of your company at a given point in time. Book-keeping keeps track of all your financial transactions on a day-to-day basis consisting of the recording of all transactions into various ledgers to provide a balance. In plain English, I reconcile all your paperwork, take away your headaches and provide your accountant with everything they need to prepare your year end accounts.

I specialise in a book-keeping service that firstly gets your accounts in shape and then maintains them with a minimum of fuss.
