If you’re reading this because you feel your business needs some expert financial support, then rest assured - you have found the right business to help you.

Dales Bookkeeping offer bookkeeping services for small businesses in the Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge Stowmarket areas. Starting with a completely free consultation they will tailor their service to your precise requirements, whether you need some expert advice on a certain subject, or to completely outsource your company payroll.

Skilled & Qualified
Dales Bookkeeping’s business owner Roy Clements has been helping local businesses with their books since 2007 and is highly qualified to do so, with credentials including:

  • Full Member of Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB)
  • Practice Licence from Institute of Certified Bookkeepers
  • ICB Level 3 Diplomas in Bookkeeping and Payroll Management

Dales Bookkeeping are experienced in a variety of accounts & payroll software such as SAGE 50, SAGE One & SAGE One Extra, XERO, KASHFLOW, MAMUT, MYOB, SAGE Payroll & IRIS PAYE Master. With a wealth of IT experience, they are also confident that they can work with any software so don’t be put off if your accounts package is not included above.

They are also happy to work with your existing accountant if you have one, and are flexible enough to provide their services at your premises or remotely at their own. They can even step in to take over your books if you, or whoever normally looks after them, need a break for holiday or illness.

Whether you are a recent start-up in need of guidance or an established business seeking new bookkeepers, Dales Bookkeeping will take the time to understand your business and provide all advice in plain English.

Roy’s services cover all the aspects of finance that small businesses tend to need, such as:

  • Bookkeeping for sole traders, partnerships, clubs and limited companies
  • Payroll services
  • VAT Returns
  • CIS Returns
  • Credit control
  • Purchase & sales ledger management
  • Invoicing
  • Cash-flow forecasts
  • Accounts software installation & migration, bespoke training and guidance
  • SAGE invoice & statement template design

Why a Bookkeeper?

With no high-street offices to maintain, Roy has minimal overheads and can offer his services at very affordable rates. You can go to an accountant for the same services, but you will tend to pay much higher fees and possibly find that these tasks have been outsourced to a bookkeeper anyway.

A far better approach is to go to an experienced bookkeeper first and then, if you need specialist financial advice on (maybe) growing your business or expanding into new markets, then approach a chartered accountant. Your beautifully arranged and signed-off accounts will make their work much easier - and therefore cheaper for you!

The Dreaded Payroll

If thinking about your general accounting and bookkeeping needs makes you want to reach for a stiff drink, then mentioning payroll may bring you out in a cold sweat. Don’t despair. Simply outsource the whole thing to Dales Bookkeeping and relax knowing all that complicated form-filling and compliance chores are done for you, including:

  • Detailed payslips
  • Payroll reports
  • P45 reports for leavers
  • RTI Submissions

Assistance and management of the introduction of Auto Enrolment

Next time you’re struggling to balance your books, or a letter from HMRC has you teetering on the edge of madness, just remember there are people out there who love these things.

Dales Bookkeeping can keep your business on the financial straight and narrow by taking the burden of accounts and paperwork away from you in a very cost-effective way. While they’re doing your books you get that time back to spend on building your business – we think that is one excellent investment.
