I offer a wide range of services from general administration to bookkeeping to small businesses in and around York.  I also offer typing and proof-reading services to university students.

With a background as a secretary and bookkeeper in small to medium-sized companies, I specialise in bookkeeping and administration tasks for sole traders, small limited companies and partnerships as well as audio typing.  I am also quick and accurate at data entry for keeping record of all those business cards which you have lying around and don't want to throw away because you never know when you might need them.

I am an experienced audio and copy typist and can type documents and letters and either email them to you for printing or print them and send them by courier or first class post.

Whilst some audio typing is quicker to do than others, a general rule of thumb is that it takes 1 hour to type 15 minutes of dictation.

I am experienced in the use of Sage and Quickbooks software packages as well as online bookkeeping such as Liquid Accounts (www.liquidaccounts.net), Clearbooks (www.clearbooks.co.uk) and Xero (www.xero.co.uk).  There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the packages and, if you do not have a computerised system for bookkeeping, we can discuss these.  If you are already using a computerised system for bookkeeping, I can continue to use the system you are already using, use my own software or you can transfer to an online package. 

If you would prefer not to use a computer based package, I can keep a record of your books manually either on paper or using an Excel spreadsheet.  For the purposes of completing your tax return, it is not necessary to keep full computerised or double entry accounts but you do need to keep a complete record of your income and expenditure.  An Excel spreadsheet or paper records would be sufficient for this.  However, if you are a limited company or use an Accountant a computerised system may be better.

As part of my bookkeeping service, I can send invoices to your clients and send follow up letters/emails to chase missing or late payments.

If you wish, I can also keep an eye on invoices from your suppliers to ensure that you pay them on time.

Do you have a huge pile of filing but don't know where to start getting it in order?  Do you have a lot of tasks which you need to do on a regular basis but don't have a system in place to get them done?  Let me come in to your office (or place of work) to organise the paperwork and set up a system which will allow you, or me, to keep on top of it.

NB.  This service is only available to clients within a 10 mile radius of York due to the travel time.

Are you struggling to make sense of your dissertation?  Do you think it could flow better?  Do you find it hard to type it all out?  Would you prefer to dictate it or write it in long-hand for someone else to type?  If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then I may be able to help.
