Practical outputs

Records, reports, statements and group-accounting work are shaped around the decisions the business needs to make.

When records fall behind

Invoices in different places, unmatched bank transactions and unfinished accounts can leave gaps in your reporting. Accounting and bookkeeping support helps organise the available records, identify outstanding items and prepare the reports agreed for your business.

Accounting and bookkeeping services we can help with

Outsourced Accounting & Full Set AccountsKeep the agreed accounting flow moving through associates without building every role in-house, from source documents to reports.View detailsHide details

The flow can include journals, ledgers, reconciliations and period close. It suits owner-managed businesses that need a regular finance workflow, or teams that need extra capacity during growth. The engagement sets the periods, responsibilities, review points and outputs.

Bookkeeping ServicesKeep sales, purchases, expenses and bank activity recorded in an orderly cycle, with bank balances and missing documents reviewed.View detailsHide details

Regular bookkeeping can leave an up-to-date record for reporting or year-end work. Choose monthly, quarterly or annual bookkeeping according to transaction rhythm and decision needs. The agreed service states which records are processed, which reconciliations are performed and what the owner receives.

Specialist accounting services

  • Financial Statement Preparation

    A formal financial statement package for an agreed period, prepared from complete accounting records. It is not an audit.

  • Management Accounts & Reporting

    Reports that can cover income, costs, cash movement and balances, with measures agreed for your business.

  • Consolidated Accounts

    Bring related-entity results into one group view, organising intercompany balances, periods, currencies and accounting policies.

  • Catch-Up Bookkeeping & Accounts Clean-Up

    Bring an unfinished period back into working order by recording outstanding transactions and identifying unresolved balances.

  • Cloud Accounting Services

    Use the client’s existing cloud accounting environment for current records, reconciliations and agreed reports, with access responsibilities clear.

    Owners and advisers work from a shared view of the records, with responsibility for source records made clear. Software selection, migration, training and technical support are outside this ongoing accounting service.

Transaction pattern and volumeThe record flow affects the cadence, review points and time required.
Reporting outputsManagement accounts, financial statements and consolidation have different preparation needs.
Cloud environment and accessThe parties need a clear working environment and responsibility for access.
Records still outstandingMissing documents can change the review and cleanup work required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best bookkeeping service for small businesses?

Choose a provider whose scope fits your transaction volume, records and reporting needs. Before agreeing, confirm who prepares and reviews the work, which outputs are included, how records are shared and what affects the fee. The right fit depends on your business rather than a universal ranking.

What are the disadvantages of outsourced accounting?

When records, responsibilities or deadlines are unclear, outsourced work can be delayed or leave gaps. Agree who supplies the records, who prepares and reviews the work, which outputs are included and how outstanding items are handled before starting.

Should I outsource my accounting?

Consider which work your team can keep up with and which reporting or year-end outputs need outside help. Share your current records and the work you want covered so the associate can scope a defined engagement. Outsourcing does not remove the need to supply reliable information.

What is included in monthly bookkeeping?

Monthly bookkeeping keeps the agreed period’s transaction records organised and up to date. Confirm the records to be maintained, reconciliation work, reports and responsibilities in the engagement. The associate-delivered scope should distinguish recurring work from unfinished earlier periods.

How much does it cost to outsource an accountant?

There is no single public price because outsourced work changes with the entity structure, period, transaction pattern, records, reporting outputs and review responsibility. A scope discussion gives the associate the information needed to explain the work and fee, including whether the business needs full-set accounting, recurring bookkeeping, reports or catch-up support.

What is the difference between accounting services and bookkeeping services?

Bookkeeping records and organises transactions such as sales, purchases, expenses and bank activity. Accounting uses those records for reconciliations, reporting, financial statement preparation, consolidation or other agreed outputs. The engagement can include one or both, depending on the business's needs.

What records should I prepare?

Prepare the entity details, period, sales and purchase records, bank statements, invoices, bills, prior reports, trial-balance information and a list of outstanding items. The associate confirms the final list.

Can bookkeeping be handled monthly, quarterly or annually?

Yes. Monthly, quarterly and annual cycles are available options. The suitable cycle depends on transaction rhythm, record quality, reporting need and the period being brought up to date.

Do I need to change accounting software?

Tell us which system you use and what records or exports are available. The associate reviews the starting position and access needed before agreeing the work. Ongoing maintenance of records, reconciliations and agreed reports in an existing cloud environment is different from changing systems. Software selection, migration, training and technical support are outside this ongoing accounting service.

How do I transfer from one accountant to another?

Start with the last completed period, prior reports, ledgers, bank reconciliations and a list of outstanding items. Tell us who currently holds the records and system access. The handover responsibilities, cut-off date and any catch-up work should be agreed before the new work starts.

Can you help with catch-up bookkeeping?

Yes, when the records and period support the work. Catch-up can organise outstanding transactions, identify unresolved balances and separate items that still need evidence. The output and review points are set before preparation begins.

Can you prepare management accounts and reports?

Yes, when the business has an agreed reporting question and the source records support it. Management reporting can turn an agreed period's records into a report for a defined decision, with the format, measures and review points set before preparation begins.

Can you prepare consolidated accounts?

Yes, where the group structure, reporting periods, currencies, accounting policies and source records are available for the engagement. The work can organise intercompany balances and present the agreed group view.

What are outsourced accounting services?

Outsourced accounting means agreeing with an external provider to perform defined accounting work for your business. TSE offers accounting and bookkeeping work through associates. The engagement identifies the service provider, responsible reviewer, customer-facing contact, records required, review process and outputs so the business knows how the work will move.

Is financial statement preparation an audit?

No. Financial statement preparation turns your company's records for a period into financial statements under the applicable reporting framework. It gives no audit opinion and no assurance on the figures, and your directors stay responsible for the final statements.

What to prepare for your accounting enquiry

Before you enquire, gather what you can:

  • legal entity name and entity type;

  • prior financial statements, trial balance or management reports;
  • details of outstanding records or unresolved balances; and
  • details of the cloud accounting environment and access restrictions, if applicable.

The final list depends on the service and period. Share only records you are authorised to share; the associate will explain what is needed next.
