ABOUT ME
My name is Clare Kendall BSc C.FICB, but please just call me Clare. I am an award-winning Bookkeeper, licensed and regulated by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), providing services to sole traders, partnerships and small businesses in the Lincolnshire area; Brigg, Caistor, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Barton and the Lincolnshire Wolds. I am:
- fully insured
- AAT part qualified
- a FreeAgent accredited partner
- a QuickBooks Online Advanced Certified ProAdvisor
- a Sage Business Cloud Accounting Certified Application Specialist
- a Xero Certified Advisor
- and an HMRC Agent (which is a lot less exciting than it sounds, but means you can authorise me to deal with HMRC on your behalf)
On my final accounting exam, I scored 99% and I'll be honest, I'm more than a little annoyed about it. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how I will approach working with you but I offer a free consulation to ensure we work together effectively so please get in touch.
P.S. Don't just take my word for it, here are some things my customers have said about working with me;
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Why do you need a bookkeeper? The first reason is time. No more evenings and weekends spent balancing the books. Plus I give you the peace of mind to know it’s done correctly and that you have been paid by your customers. I’ll navigate HMRC’s rules for you to make sure you pay what you owe, and not a penny more.
Bookkeeping
Whether you're a sole trader, partnership or limited company, I can keep your books in order for you providing you with the time and information to concentrate on what you do best; running your business. VAT returns, Making Tax Digital, cash flow, credit control and reporting may not be your thing, but they are mine.
Accounting Software
Everything you do on paper can be done faster, stored safely and accessed from wherever you are. Snap receipts, email quotes and invoices on the go, see up to date profits and comply with Making Tax Digital rules. I can help you choose, set-up and manage your software. QuickBooks, Xero, FreeAgent, Sage and more.
Self-Assessment Tax Return
They say tax doesn't have to be taxing, but it so often is. I can take the pain out of your self-assessment tax return. With your information, I'll file your return with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) whilst making sure you don't miss out on any allowances and reliefs you are entitled to.
Capital Gains Tax
Since November 2021, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on property has changed. If you need to report and pay CGT on UK property, you need to do so within 60 days. Other gains can be reported 'real time' or annually in your self-assessment tax return. As an HMRC agent I can do this on your behalf, making sure you claim the correct exempt amount and any reliefs due to you.
Year End Accounts & Corporation Tax Return
If you feel demoralised by depreciation or you're crying over cost of sales calculations, let me post year-end adjustments and produce final year-end accounts for you. Service available for sole traders, partnerships, not-for-profits and for Limited Companies and LLPs, I can also file your Corporation Tax return.
Outsourced Finance Department
Do you know how your business is doing? I can help you to understand your current business finances in enough detail to allow you to make critical decisions. Think of me as your virtual Finance Director. My experience in analysis and change management can help streamline and improve your business processes.
WHAT'S THE DAMAGE?
So, what you really want to know, is how much will this cost? And in all honesty that depends on how complex your business is, how well your records are kept, how often you need me to work for you and exactly what you need me to do. I usually provide a fixed price to help your business avoid 'surprise' bills, though I can provide an hourly rate if you would prefer. Get in touch and we can discuss it but in the mean time here are my basic level prices:
Please note, I am not VAT registered so there is no addition of VAT to prices
