Outsourced Bookkeeping for Accountants

When your practice needs additional bookkeeping capacity, IPA Bookkeeping & Accounting Ltd can take on clearly agreed bookkeeping work while you maintain your relationship with your client.

We can support regular bookkeeping, catch-up work, clean-up projects and VAT bookkeeping where the work falls within our agreed scope. We work with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, and can use receipt-capture tools such as Dext and AutoEntry where appropriate.

We begin by discussing the client, the records, the systems used, deadlines, responsibilities and the work you would like us to carry out. We then agree who communicates with the client, who reviews and approves the work, and how questions and outstanding items will be handled.

Our aim is to give your practice organised, reliable bookkeeping information and clear updates. We raise questions when a transaction needs an explanation rather than making unsupported assumptions.

Before accepting work, IPA carries out its own client due diligence and risk assessment appropriate to the work and the agreed relationship. We do not assume that your practice's checks replace our own obligations. We will explain the information we need and how we will handle confidential client records before work begins. 

Tell us about your practice, the type of bookkeeping support required, the software in use, the approximate volume of work and any approaching deadline. We can discuss whether IPA has capacity and agree the scope, responsibilities and fee before starting.
