How does virtual bookkeeping work?

Gone are the days when you would deliver everything to your accountant, carefully filed, ready for them to write up and tell you your results each quarter. With Xero, Hubdoc  and our team here at Contando you can have real time access to your results.

With Hubdoc you’ll install an app on your phone and take a photo of any receipts or invoices ready for us to link into your Xero file. Or if you receive invoices by email you can forward them to a special email address and we’ll link it into your Xero file, that’s it! Snap a pic or forward an email, easy!

We’ll link your business bank account to Xero and get read only access to your statements and transactions. We can use this to categorise your income and expenses, prepare and submit your VAT returns and then produce useful reports to discuss with your during our video catch ups. We’ll do all the hard work and analysis. All you have to do is snap and forward.

No more waiting for the end of the quarter for out of date information about how your business is doing. This is YOUR business, you should know how it is doing in real time so you can use that information to improve your business.

Can you set me up on Xero?

We’ll help make your business finances easy by making sure your bookkeeping is set up properly from the beginning, allowing you to spend less time on bookkeeping and more time on running your business.

We’re experts at Xero set up and Xero Migration (see the shiny Xero Migration badge!) so you are in safe hands. Xero migration means we can move your data over from another accounting package and Xero set up means we can set you up from scratch.

Get in touch and we can talk through what you need. We’ll give you a customised quote and some options so that you can get the level of service and set up that suits you. Whichever option you go for we aren’t expecting you to be bookkeeping or accounting experts, that’s our job!

After we’ve set you up on Xero you can either do your own bookkeeping or we can do it for you. Whichever is right for you we’ll give you the same quality service when setting up your Xero file.

If you’d like our help then take a look at our plans or get in touch to talk about which is right for you.
