SJO Business & Accounting Services is a local County Down business providing an excellent standard of accounting solutions for your organisation. As the principal of the company, I am a Chartered Management Accountant with extensive management accounting experience across a wide variety of industries. I am a strong communicator with a wealth of experience in helping non-financial colleagues understand the financial implications of specific business decisions.

Services

I aim to provide your business with a total accounting system that enables you to spend time managing, growing and enjoying your business. The services include:

• Accounts preparation – including profit and loss, balance sheet, fixed asset summary and capital accounts. 
• Personal and business tax returns – these will be completed from information contained within your accounts and submitted to HM Revenue and Customs. I will ensure you are aware of all payment deadlines, and will correspond with HM Revenue and Customs on your behalf.
• Book-keeping, payroll and VAT returns – these will be maintained to enable you to concentrate on doing what you do best in your business. This service can be extended to manage all debtors and creditors and provide regular aged reporting.
• Management accounts and cash flow forecasts – these will be prepared either monthly or quarterly to help you make decisions and to plan and obtain finance
• Business process improvements – to capitalise on the efficiencies within your business

Benefits:

• Your financial performance is presented to you in a format to suit to your business requirements
• Statutory Accounts are produced from this information more quickly and easily and ultimately cheaper
• Regular financial information provides greater opportunities for tax planning and cost control in difficult economic conditions
• Where additional funding is required, reliable and up-to-date financial information is required for any potential lender

My key objective is to provide you with the information you need to run your business more profitably. I believe that the best way to provide this is to keep in regular contact and to ensure that monthly and/or quarterly information is readily available, analysed and summarised in such a way as to highlight key performance indicators.
