What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is simply the act of recording a business’s income and expenses. Long gone are the days of using an actual book, but the principles are the same. Logging everything that goes in and out of the business on a regular basis enables business owners to keep track of their cash flow, fulfil their tax and VAT obligations with ease and plan for future business growth.
Why use a local Nottingham accountant for bookkeeping?
Rather than thinking of bookkeeping services as another cost, look at the benefits and weigh them up. How many hours per week do you spend on bookkeeping? What would you do if you had those hours free? Are you confident that you are recording your finances in the most efficient and accurate way? Would your accounts stand up to an HMRC inspection?
Archimedia Accounts can save you valuable time and hassle when it comes to bookkeeping, as well as establishing solid processes. You can rest assured that your numbers are accurate, to avoid any unnecessary stress when it comes to submitting your statutory accounts to HMRC.
If any of the below statements ring true, you could benefit from our bookkeeping services for businesses:
- You wish you had more time to grow your business.
- You don’t have clear systems, so accounting is time-consuming and complicated.
- You suspect there may be some errors in the books.
- The financial information you receive now doesn’t give you enough insight, e.g., profit by product.
- You worry about submitting statutory accounts to HMRC.
- You have been penalised in the past for making mistakes on your annual returns.
Your bookkeeping system is the glue that sticks your entire business together. Our bookkeeping services for businesses can deliver you a purpose-made machine for making your business more efficient.

Bookkeeping for limited companies in and around Nottingham
Limited company bookkeeping is a legal requirement but is also crucial for successful business management. As well as managing your cash flow and analysing your sales, it is the basis for accurate tax and VAT returns.
As a limited company, you are required to pay corporation tax to HMRC and submit annual returns to Companies House. If your bookkeeping is haphazard, then this can prove a huge and stressful task.
Archimedia Accounts helps limited companies in Nottingham to master their bookkeeping with the use of the latest accounting software. Our clients come to see us as an extension of their team, saving them the need for an in-house bookkeeper. With our help, business owners can have peace of mind that their accounts are all in order.
Our bookkeeping service gives them more strategic insight and makes financial year-end anxiety a thing of the past.
Bookkeeping for sole traders and small businesses in Nottingham
As a sole trader, you likely fulfil all of the important roles in your company – operator, operations director, marketing director – bookkeeper doesn’t need to be one of them. Archimedia Accounts helps sole traders and small businesses in Nottingham with their bookkeeping needs, taking the weight off of their shoulders.
Sole traders are required to submit a self-assessment tax return which, as of April 2023, must comply with Making Tax Digital. This means that all sole traders are required to keep digital records and submit more regular reports to HMRC using approved software.
We can help you to migrate your accounts to approved software, such as Xero. This will not only make your life a whole lot easier on a day-to-day basis, but it will also make your tax return a seamless process.
Accounting software for smarter bookkeeping
Bookkeeping software has become so advanced that it can now integrate with all the other software your business uses. That includes order management software, e-commerce sites, retail shops, point of sale, staff expenses apps, and much more.
This brings a level of automation that makes limited company bookkeeping much easier to manage. But aside from making things easier, accounting software can add genuine value to your business and enhance your performance. For example, accounting software can generate sales reports to help you to make strategic business decisions and fuel your growth.
With so much data to handle, most business owners can benefit enormously from the help of an accountant. At Archimedia Accounts, our team are experts at managing complex ecosystems of software that operate in your business background. We’ll help you choose the right software for your activities, implement it, and manage it on a day-to-day basis.
