CLS Bookkeeping Services has recently become a member of the Wellingborough and East Northants Chamber of Commerce.
The business was founded in January 2019 by Claire Summers to offer “high-quality and thorough” bookkeeping services to small business owners.
Claire explained: “I am passionate about helping small business owners understand their businesses finances and helping them to succeed by showing them the areas that are performing well but also areas of the business that may need improvement.
“I am a member of and supervised by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, the global professional body for bookkeepers offering certification, supervision and support.”
The business owner understands that leaving bookkeeping until the end of the year and handing over all the paperwork to accountants for the year-end accounts can be costly to a business. She also noted that some businesses may be left waiting for a year to find out how their business is performing.
Claire communicates with her clients and customers regularly “by providing you with monthly or quarterly reports and discussing how your business is performing”. This helps businesses identify areas that need adjusting and improving before it is too late.
The bookkeeping services provided by Claire include:
- Raising and sending out sales invoices
- Recording purchase invoices
- Reconciling bank accounts
- Regular management accounts
- Credit control – chasing your customers for payment
- Prepare and submit MTD VAT returns
- Prepare and submit self-assessment tax returns
Claire added: “I use a couple of software providers as I understand that one size does not fit all. I currently use Sage and Xero. The cloud-based software is there to help make life easier for your business. You can raise and send sales invoices at a click of a button, record purchases and expenses just by taking a photo on your phone or tablet.”
