Bookkeeping & virtual finance support
Clear records.
More time for your business.
Flexible bookkeeping and practical finance support, without the cost of another full-time employee. Choose regular monthly help, additional weekly capacity or a focused catch-up project.
Reliable support, shaped around you
Your finance function.
Without the fixed overhead.
Good bookkeeping is more than entering transactions. It gives you dependable records, fewer last-minute surprises and a clearer view of what the business is doing.
Side by Side can take responsibility for the routine, work alongside your existing team or step in when the records need bringing up to date. You deal directly with Toby, combining hands-on support with the wider understanding of a qualified accountant.
What we can take care of
From daily records
to useful monthly figures.
The exact service is agreed around your business, systems and the work that genuinely needs doing.
Day-to-day bookkeeping
Accurate processing and coding of bank, card, sales and purchase transactions, kept up to date throughout the year.
Bank and card reconciliations
Regular checks that your accounting records agree to the real balances, with differences investigated rather than carried forward.
Sales and purchase ledgers
Clear control over customer invoices, supplier bills, aged balances and the information needed to manage cash well.
VAT and payroll coordination
Reliable records for VAT returns, payroll information and the deadlines that sit around them.
Credit control and cash flow
Practical support with overdue invoices, expected payments and a clearer short-term view of business cash.
Month-end and management information
Reconciliations, journals and useful monthly reports that leave the business ready for decisions and year end.
