One of the reoccurring challenges we face at GreenStones, is receiving customer records so we can prepare accounts.
We know providing information can be a mundane task and perhaps not a top priority for everyone. However, receiving complete records is vital to preparing accurate accounts in a timely manner.
At GreenStones we like to practice what we preach, but there are some exceptions.
Meet Simon…
Simon is GreenStones Managing Director (MD). As the company’s MD, Simon receives lots of company invoices and receipts relating to company payments.
Simon knows the importance of ensuring all these invoices and receipts make their way to his bookkeeper, but he often “forgets” or just doesn’t do it – even though he is regularly nagged by his team.
Meet Simon’s Team…
Simon’s team find this very frustrating!
Simon’s team know just how vital it is to keep full and complete records in order to prepare end of year accounts – this is what they do for a living.
And after all, how hard can it be to forward an invoice or receipt to your chosen accounting software?
Don’t be a Simon…
So, the moral of this story… “Don’t be a Simon”!
There are lots of bookkeeping apps that make it easy for you to keep all your accounting records in one place. All they require is an email or simple photo upload. Invoices and receipts can be uploaded from wherever you are and stops you having to keep paper records.
If you would like to discuss the use of bookkeeping apps to keep a track of your records, give the team a call on 01733 371180.
