Some businesses choose to run their own payroll, bookkeeping and accounts using Xero. Cloud-based accounting makes things simpler in many ways but, even so, there are a few pitfalls and some tricks of the trade that it helps to know. 

I use Xero for many different types of business so I have a good understanding of how to set things up for maximum efficiency, how to migrate data from other accounting systems, and where some of those rarely used functions are lurking in the software.  

Because of this I do a lot of troubleshooting for businesses that have got into a bit of a tangle or need advice on the best way to use the Xero platform. 

If you’re not sure that Xero is doing all it could for your business, or if you’re thinking of adopting it to enjoy the benefits of accountancy in the cloud, I’d be happy to help. Just get in touch.

Looking for a Limited Company Accountant?

Every company that is based in the UK is subject to Companies House regulations and liable for corporation tax calculated on their profits. This includes all types of companies even clubs and charities. Once your company has been set up it is required to submit Year End Accounts to Companies House. Most UK companies are liable for corporation tax. Corporation tax is owed to the HMRC and is calculated on your company’s, taxable profit for the financial year in question.
