A Bookkeeper (Book Keeper or Book-Keeper) will assist a business by recording all the businesses day to day accounting transactions in the businesses ledgers and daybooks.  Some Bookkeepers may also be able to provide a basic form of management accounts, however, a Bookkeeper is often limited in the work they can carry out particularly when it comes to reporting on and verifying the information gathered, this is the difference between a Bookkeeper and a qualified accountant. 

In the UK there is currently no licensing requirement for someone to describe themselves as a Bookkeeper or accountant, it is therefore always worth checking the qualifications and experience of someone you are thinking of making your Bookkeeper and choosing carefully. Remember that an inexperienced or unreliable Bookkeeper can sometimes do more harm than good and end up costing the business more in the long run when the end of year accountant must first check and correct all the work carried out by the Bookkeeper before the end of year accounts can be prepared and filed. 

Accountancy & Business Consultants Ltd is run by Chartered Management Accountants who will therefore provide your business with more than a Bookkeeper, as well as the recording of transactions Accountancy & Business Consultants Ltd will provide relevant, reliable and accurate management accounts which would be outside the scope of a traditional Bookkeeper.  The information provided by Accountancy & Business Consultants Ltd, along with their assistance and experienced if required, can help with key decision making and the strategic driving forward of the business.
