Other businesses give away free pens and beermats. We are planning to give away free spreadsheet utilities and similar items, which will appear on this page. We are open to suggestions, so please contact us if you have any. Anything we produce will have a mention of us and a backlink to this website, but that is all. This is a new-ish page still under development.

The first item is the simplest. When you hand in your records at the year end, we ask you to hand in your cheque book stubs. If the last cheque book is still in use, then you may copy stub information to this page of cheque book stubs after downloading it and printing it off. Use more than one page if you need to. This is a short PDF file (217 Kb).

We have a free 15-page accounts book which should cover three months. You can download this as a PDF file and print it off. We have it as both a black and white version (5 Mb) and also as a colour version (7 Mb). The black and white version is easier on printer ink.

You can print either version off on single-sided paper. If you want to print it double-sided, then we suggest thicker paper (100 gsm) and flipping on the long edge. Instructions for our bookkeeping system can be accessed by clicking here.

After three months, you can just download another 15 pages, and carry on like this indefinitely with no obligation to us. Alternatively, you may contact us and obtain a spreadsheet which is identical in appearance to the paper system. When you send the spreadsheet back to us, our computer can read it rapidly. You have done some of our work for us, for which we will give you a discount on our fee.

When we see you for a free initial consultation, we fill in a client details form and then we will ask you to do us the favour of checking it over. Could you please have ready your National Insurance number and any income tax details which you have. If you are already VAT-registered, then we would like to see the VAT 4 Certificate of Registration. If you have a payroll system then we would like to see the P30BC payslip booklet. If you are running a company then we would like to see any corporation tax information. Our client details form is a short PDF file (205 Kb) and normally we complete it for you.
