Struggling to Meet Deadlines for PAYE, VAT or CIS?
- Always losing invoices?
- Filing system in a mess?
- Overwhelmed with paperwork?
- Can't find what you need to run your business?
- Missing sales opportunities because you're disorganised?
- Paying interest on overdue bills that could have been avoided?
Whether you're a 'one man band' or a small or growing business, keeping up with paperwork can be a challenge.
The Problem
Whether you're running your business from the kitchen table, dedicated business premises or anywhere inbetween, you may be facing many of the same problems that other small businesses face:-
- you're drowning in paperwork
- you can't find what you need when you need it
- you can't find the time to get organised, don't know where to start, or simply don't know how.
Every business, no matter what type or size, needs to keep records (for Tax purposes at the very least) but managing paperwork and organising an office involves skills that may be a world away from what it is that you do.
You may also be having problems organising stock, supplies needed to make your products or supply your services, customer information, product details, and so on.
A Tailor-Made Solution
We can help you put your information and other resources in order and create systems to help you stay organised.
Our services can include:-
- Setting up a filing system tailored to your needs
- Creating templates for standard documents and forms
- Creating spreadsheets for managing financial information or for use as simple databases
- Customising MS Office programs to save you time, e.g. creating menus, buttons, macros, shortcuts etc for frequently used text and commands
- Training in MS Office applications and basic computer skills.
Once you start using systems that work for you, you're likely to start finding your own ways to be more organised.

Choose Your Package
We offer Basic, Standard and Deluxe packages to give you an idea of likely cost. We can tell you what we can do for you, in what timescale and at what cost. Your quote will be based on our recommendations and offer you a range of cost options. We don't try to pressure people into buying every service we have to offer. You can start off with a basic package and come back to us for more at any time.
We don't know what difficulties you're having until we talk to you. Contacting us - by phone, email or enquiry form - puts you under NO OBLIGATION to buy from us.
Basic
This is for you if all you need is a simple system for keeping track of bills, receipts, invoices etc so that you can find the information you need to prepare your Tax Return or hand to your Accountant if you have one. We'll also set up and teach you how to use a very simple system for handling general paperwork - all in as little as 2 hours. Cost: from £55.00.
Standard
This can be an 'add on' to the Basic package. We will provide any of the additional services you choose from our list of recommendations. This can be provided as a half-day service (4 hours). Cost: from £100.00
Deluxe
We will provide whichever services you choose from our recommendations over however many days you need. This could include: completely overhauling your filing system, reorganising your stock or supplies, creating document templates, designing spreadsheets, customising MS Office programs to save you time, training in MS Office and basic computer skills. We can even 'spring clean' as we reorganise if you want us to! Cost: from £200.00 (as a one-day service).
Depending on which package you're interested in, we may need to vist your premises to see the scale of the problem for ourselves. We can't work out what the real problems are if you 'tidy up' before we get there, so please don't!
