QuickBooks training

Cornwall QuickBooks accountants may be hard to find — but we can help. This is an online accounting software that makes life so much easier for you when it comes to bookkeeping. We understand QuickBooks in Cornwall for accountancy and we can show you how to use the software so that your bookkeeping quickly and efficiently improves. You can do this training in person or via Teams video meetings, over Whatsapp or simply via a telephone call. Plus, you can contact us during business hours if you have any problems as we give you ongoing support for this software. Whatever works for you!

Field checks

A field audit check is a face-to-face examination of items on your tax returns. This is a comprehensive audit to help you identify and reduce quality issues, prevent inventory losses, minimise safety incidents and provide feedback so that you can continuously improve your accounts and thus the strength of your business overall. We can arrange a field audit check for your CIC or small business. Talk to us about this now.

As we are not VAT registered, this means we can keep our clients' fees even lower as we don't add an extra 20% to your bill. This also leaves more funds in our CIC which then benefits you, our community and all of our clients. We put any and all profits back into the CIC so we can help more people.Although we are not VAT registered at present, we can not guarantee this for the future because of HMRC regulations. But we will try our best…
