Why use MJ Bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is fundamental for every business, from the smallest one-man band to the biggest corporations. Unlike the big companies you may not be in a financial position to employ a full time bookkeeper to help with your business, or you may find it more effective to outsource this service. Doing your own books may cut costs in the short term, but that may not be the case in the long run.

Sometimes it isn’t straightforward, especially if you are using a software, it can be stressful and will either take away your time to focus on your business whilst you are trying to work out how to use it or take away your time outside of work to relax and you may end up with penalties and charges from the government if it has been incorrectly filed to HMRC, which can lead to hours spent on hold waiting to speak with someone.

Take advantage of MJB, we have extensive knowledge of bookkeeping softwares and can deal directly with HMRC on your behalf for any queries. All you need to do is make sure that we get all the necessary paperwork when we ask for it. Using a bookkeeper leaves you with time to focus exclusively on your business, safe in the knowledge that your books are in totally safe, completely professional hands.

Case Studies:

A building company came to us who were struggling to meet deadlines for their VAT returns. We got to work straight away and managed to get them an £9000 rebate. They are still using MJB.

'Wow what an amazing lady! Mary started helping me 4 years ago and within the first few months she helped me get a £9000 VAT rebate and now I have had my first VAT inspection and was told everything is being done perfectly. I’m one very very happy lady... Thank you so much x'
We have been working with MJ Bookkeeping for 3 years and have always found them to be highly responsive, reliable, trustworthy and of course accurate. They are also very patient and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend their services.
Advance Change
It’s so often heard by us by people trying to get hold of HMRC and spending what seems like hours on hold but not getting the answers needed or help required. We were contacted by a high earner who didn’t realise had to complete a tax return, they were being charged interest on a penalty they were unware of as they had recently moved and HMRC were sending letters to the wrong address. We dealt with HMRC on their behalf, meaning they didn’t have to spend any more frustrating time on hold, and managed to get the interest reclaimed.
