Bookkeeping for Beckenham: the basics
Good bookkeeping is the foundation everything else sits on: VAT returns, year-end accounts and tax planning all depend on it. For Beckenham businesses we set up cloud software with live bank feeds and receipt capture, and either keep the books ourselves or review what you do each month.
Businesses in England follow UK-wide rules for Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT and Corporation Tax, with Stamp Duty Land Tax applying to property purchases. Local business rates are set and collected by the local authority.
Why Beckenham businesses use IGI for bookkeeping
Deadline reminders, not deadline panic
We track your Self Assessment, VAT, Corporation Tax and Companies House dates and chase what we need well ahead of time.
Unlimited support included
Call, email or book a video call as often as you need. Questions about expenses, dividends or a letter from HMRC are part of the service, not an extra.
Fixed monthly fees agreed in advance
No hourly billing and no surprise invoices. Your plan covers the work agreed, and anything extra is quoted before we start.
Bookkeeping questions
Answers for Beckenham clients. Your accountant can go into detail for your situation.
We work in mainstream cloud packages that meet HMRC’s Making Tax Digital requirements. Your plan includes a subscription, and if you already use a package you like we can usually work in that instead.
Weekly is ideal: ten minutes to snap receipts and match bank transactions keeps everything accurate. If you would rather not, we can take the whole task on for a fixed monthly fee.
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping for Beckenham businesses is quoted on the number of transactions and months involved, and we agree the fee before starting.
Not necessarily, but invoicing from the software means payments match automatically and reminders go out without you chasing. Most clients switch within the first month.
Making Tax Digital requires digital record keeping and software filing. It already applies to VAT-registered businesses and is being extended to Income Tax Self Assessment for sole traders and landlords in stages. The software in your plan meets the requirements.
Yes, at any point in the year. We write to your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, and there is no charge for switching.
