Accounting and Bookkeeping for Startups: Advice and Services Peterborough

We know that most people start a business because they have a good idea and the financials behind it are probably the last thing you want to get involved in. That’s why, if you are thinking of starting a business, we recommend you come and talk to us first.

We are great believers in keeping things simple until required; the idea of jumping straight to forming a limited company may not be the best option for you at this stage.

Accounting and bookkeeping: are they the same thing or are they different? They are both numbers related but are not quite the same thing. Bookkeeping is the process of tacking financial records whereas accounting is the process of interpreting financial records to inform the decision-making process, based on your business finances and ensuring that you are paying the right amount of tax. Bookkeeping and accounting are both vital to every business’s success; you may have additional needs such as keeping good records as a startup for investors or securing a loan or finance.

    Always a swift response A team that will respond swiftly to questions, queries, problems. As a business I work 24/7 and its great to have interaction outside of the standard 9-5pm Monday to Friday if required. This is the 3rd year Leep Accountants have been my advisory and completed my Tax Return. I always like to have my accounts completed early and time to check over, I've never had to chase Leep Accountants with an update they are efficient and organised and manage this process well which hadn't been the case with my previous accountancy firm.

    I can't recommend LeeP Accountants highly enough. This year I was relocated to Rome from the UK for work, which has proven very chaotic in terms of my personal finances! In late November I found myself suddenly needing to submit a UK tax return at short notice, and needed help. Not knowing where best to turn - I asked my trusted mortgage broker (who has always shown superb judgement) if he knew a good accountant. He recommended Polly and the team without hesitation - and I'm extremely glad I listened to him. They were outstanding from beginning to end: highly responsive, knowledgeable and clear and took all the stress out of the situation, in spite of it being a particularly hectic, holiday period. Abolute 10/10 service - will definitely be using them again.
