Paul Tatt Bookkeeping Services was formed in June 2009 providing general bookkeeping and payroll services to sole traders and limited companies within South Kent.

What are the benefits to you for choosing a Bookkeeper?

There are many benefits to the client for choosing a money efficient self employed bookkeeper:

• I can save you time to concentrate on running your business effectively
• I can assist you in providing financial reports to help guide your business effectively
• I can save you money from actually employing a bookkeeper which results in employer NI, holiday pay etc
• I can save you money on your end of year accountant’s fees by saving your accountant time.

The services I can offer are:

• General Bookkeeping including Bank reconciliations
• Payroll Services including year end returns
• Management Reports, monthly or quarterly
• Sales ledger Invoicing / credit control
• VAT returns
• Preparation of Annual Accounts
• Self Assessment Returns (online)
• Cashflow management

My Background, Training and Experience

I have 30 years knowledge and experience of accounting from start to finish using recognised accounting software particularly Sage and am qualified to AAT standard.

After leaving school I started working in the family business which was a greeting cards print and publishing company; naturally I worked in accounts starting from the beginning and at the time attended a business studies course at the local technical college. I was there for nearly 20 years and during this time I became responsible for maintaining the accounts and providing management reports.

In 1999 I then became Company Secretary of Mansion House Caterers Ltd based at Broome Park, Nr Canterbury; my role included having sole responsibility in maintaining all aspects of accounting, to provide monthly financial reports and to manage the cashflow of the company. Other duties included running a weekly payroll including end of year returns, and all secretarial duties required in running an office. Whilst employed at MHC I studied and completed the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) course.

More recently I attended a course provided by HMRC on self assessment.

So to sum up I can provide a valuable service to small businesses who wish to concentrate on their key skills and to let me take care of the all important accounts. Some say they are a necessary evil but through forward planning is an essential aid to the running of the business.

For sole traders and directors who have not submitted their return, online filing has to be completed by 31st January 2010.
