Ah procrastination. The nemesis of the To Do list. The destroyer of deadlines. It can cause considerable stress in our lives, as timescales get squeezed and we feel lost in a sea of indecision, doing anything except the task we really must complete.
But what makes us procrastinate in the first place? If we’re really honest, it’s often a fear of failure. Certainly when we speak to our clients, the reason so many people hit the wall when it comes to doing their accounts is the thought of getting it wrong.
Why not make 2020 the year you slay the delaying dragon? We’re offering free (metaphorical) swords to those looking for new accountants or bookkeepers in Hayle, Penzance and further afield, so you can get to grips with the pesky procrastination-beast once and for all!
Maybe even the thought of changing accountants sends shivers down your spine… will it be all spreadsheets and equations? Will I be bamboozled with accounting lingo, only to be left feeling like a fool? Would I have to spend my precious downtime desperately searching for receipts from 2002? That’s definitely not how we do things.
We’ve got years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting in Cornwall, so when it comes to making the switch swift and painless, we’ve got the process nailed.
For starters, we’ll just need you to complete our onboarding form (it’s not too scary, promise!), set up your monthly direct debit, and give us access to your Quickbooks account.
Once you’ve signed your proposal, you can sit back and relax. We’ll get in touch with your previous accountant to request all the information we need – no panicked rummaging in the attic required.
No nasty shocks or surprises – this is how your first 6 months will look.
The support you get will be tailored around you and your business. For example – need new accounting systems or applications? We’ll be right there beside you, helping you get set up and even delivering training so you can have complete confidence in what you’re doing.
You won’t need a master’s degree in Advanced Accountancy Jargon (we would LOVE to do that course!) – you won’t find any fancy terminology in our meetings or over the phone. Just straightforward, honest and to-the-point explanations and information at all times.
For us, it’s not about getting you onboard and then being distracted by the next client who comes along; we’re with you for the long haul. Want to chat on the phone? Not a problem. Prefer to ping us an email? We’re there. Whatever helps you get on with your day.
Getting the right accountant or bookkeeper in Cornwall is essential. It’s a wonderful place to live and run a business, but only if you’re able to get out there when the working day is done and make the most of it with your family and friends, not stuck at home swamped by sums or dreading the impending year-end.
Whether it’s wrestling with your books, or wasted time procrastinating, it’s time to take back your weekends and say cheerio to tedious evenings or sleepless nights. 2020 is going to be your year.
