Day-to-Day Bookkeeping for Accurate, Up-to-Date Financial Records

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of every well-run business, and the starting point for everything else, from accurate tax returns and VAT filings to reliable management accounts and cash flow forecasts.

At Aztax Advisors, we provide professional bookkeeping services for sole traders, limited companies, partnerships, and SMEs across Ilford and East London. Our team records all of your daily financial transactions, sales invoices, purchase invoices, receipts, expenses, and bank payments, in your chosen cloud accounting system, keeping your records accurate, current, and ready for review at any time.

We work with all leading platforms including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent, and our bookkeeping service is fully compatible with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital requirements. Whether you need weekly, monthly, or quarterly bookkeeping support, we tailor the frequency and level of service to what your business actually needs.

Fixed Asset Register Maintenance to Keep Your Balance Sheet Accurate

Your business assets, equipment, machinery, vehicles, computers, office furniture, represent a significant portion of your balance sheet, and they need to be recorded, tracked, and depreciated correctly throughout their useful life.

We maintain a detailed fixed asset register for your business, recording the purchase date, original cost, depreciation method, accumulated depreciation, and current net book value of every qualifying asset. This directly impacts your tax position, as incorrect asset accounting can lead to over- or under-claiming of capital allowances, which has a direct effect on your corporation tax liability.

General Ledger Maintenance for Clean, Reliable Financial Records

The general ledger is the master record of every financial transaction your business makes, and the accuracy of every financial report, tax return, and management account depends entirely on the quality of the data it contains.

We take care of your general ledger on an ongoing basis, ensuring every transaction is correctly coded to the right nominal account, every journal entry is accurate and supported by proper documentation, and every period is reconciled before it is closed.

Bank Reconciliations to Catch Errors and Maintain Cash Accuracy

Bank reconciliation is the process of comparing your accounting records against your actual bank statements to confirm that every transaction is recorded correctly and that your cash balance is accurate. Done regularly, it is one of the most effective controls any business can have.

We perform regular bank reconciliations for all of your business accounts, current accounts, savings accounts, credit card accounts, and payment platform accounts such as Stripe or PayPal. Every transaction is matched, every discrepancy is investigated, and every unmatched item is flagged for your attention.

Cloud Accounting System Setup and Migration - Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and More

If you are still managing your finances on spreadsheets, using an outdated desktop accounting package, or simply unsure whether your current system is HMRC-compliant under Making Tax Digital, now is the right time to move to a modern cloud accounting platform.

We set up, configure, and migrate businesses to all major cloud accounting systems. Our setup service includes:

  • Chart of accounts configuration tailored to your business
  • Opening balance entry and historical data migration
  • Bank feed connections for automatic transaction import
  • VAT settings and MTD registration
  • User access configuration for you and your team
  • Hands-on training to make sure you are confident using the system
