We’re in the second month of a new year and January went past in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure about you but I feel like my feet haven’t touched the ground!

Do you find yourself juggling multiple tasks, leaving little time to focus on growth? The good news? Hiring a bookkeeper can make a world of difference and here’s why!


Embrace Software Solutions


At Valorem Financial Accountants we use Xero to streamline your bookkeeping process. This also has a knock on effect with other software you use across your business as it integrates with so many different apps.


We use Practice Management tools such as BRIGHT MANAGER. This ensures that all the information we need is stored in one place and we can delegate tasks to various team members to ensure a seamless workflow. By integrating these tools into your daily operations, you can ensure that your business runs smoothly and efficiently.


Automate Routine Tasks


Automation is a game-changer for businesses looking to streamline their processes. Tasks like invoicing, payroll, and data entry can be automated using tools like Xero and Hubdoc allowing you to focus on more strategic activities. Automation not only speeds up processes but also ensures consistency and accuracy, freeing up your time and ours to concentrate on more complex challenges.


The Power of Hiring a Bookkeeper


While technology can handle many tasks, the expertise of a bookkeeper is invaluable. We can provide insights into your financial health, help you make informed decisions, and ensure compliance with regulations. By outsourcing your bookkeeping, you can free up time to concentrate on growing your business, knowing that your finances are in capable hands.


Combining Technology and Human Expertise


The true magic happens when technology and human expertise come together. By leveraging software and automation alongside the skills of a bookkeeper, you create a powerful synergy that enhances productivity and efficiency. This combination allows you to focus on what you do best while ensuring that your business operates at peak performance.




Streamlining your processes with software, automation, and a bookkeeper can transform the way you work, promoting efficiency and productivity.

Alternatively, if you notice that your sales are declining, you can develop new marketing strategies to attract more customers. Prepare for tax season As a small business owner, preparing for tax season can be stressful. However, with bookkeeping, you can simplify the process. By keeping accurate and organized financial records, you can file your taxes quickly and accurately. This will save you time and reduce your stress levels. Additionally, you can take advantage of tax deductions and credits that you may be eligible for, reducing your tax liability. Plan for growth Finally, bookkeeping can help you plan for the growth of your business. By tracking your finances, you can identify areas that are performing well and invest in them further. Additionally, you can analyze your financial statements to identify areas of your business that need improvement. By doing so, you can make adjustments to your plans and strategies to ensure your business grows in a sustainable and profitable way.

By tracking your finances, managing cash flow, making informed decisions, preparing for tax season, and planning for growth, you can build a successful and profitable business. Accurate financial records can help you identify opportunities, avoid risks, and make strategic decisions that will benefit your business in the long run.

The Power of the Year-End Review

By Nicola Yale • November 24, 2023
The Power of the Year-End Review As we approach the end of another incredible year, it's time to reflect, celebrate achievements, and set our plans for the future. At Valorem, we’re proud to work with all different types of clients, and whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, a passionate freelancer or a proud business owner who feels that maybe 2023 could have been better, an end-of-year review is a great way to reflect on what worked, what didn’t work, and what’s next. In this article, we’ll share our ideas for conducting a year end review for yourself, and of course, if you need our support with the financial part, we’re here to help and ready for your call. Celebrate your wins Do you remember your first sale? How about the moment you hit the VAT Threshold? Every win in business deserves celebration, and the end of the year is a great way to look back on just what you achieved - even if it wasn’t planned, and even if seems like a tiny win. Celebrating your wins is a morale booster, it keeps you motivated and focused, and your wins are probably closely connected to the reason you are in business in the first place. Learn and evolve Ok, 2023 wasn’t a walk in the park. And just like life, running a business can be a bit of a rollercoaster. Your end of year review gives you a great opportunity to assess what worked well and what can be improved for the future. Take a look into your numbers and see where things went brilliantly as well as those areas that might benefit from a change of strategy. Your numbers tell a story, and the insights you glean from a review can have a meaningful impact on your decisions for the future. Set goals for the future And we’re not just talking business goals, we’re talking personal too. Your business’s success isn’t just about spreadsheets and profits, it’s about building a business that meets your personal goals. Did you really have the year you hoped for personally? What could be better next year? Your bookkeeper can help you make sense of your numbers so you can focus on how they help you achieve your life goals. Take control of your finances Many business owners simply don’t review their finances, but as you’ve read this far, we’ll assume you’re not one of those people. It’s easy to bury your head in the sand when it comes to your finances, if everything’s paid on time, it can be tempting not to look any deeper, but taking some time to conduct a year-end-review is a great way to start as you mean to go on. what ever happened up until now, having a view of where you are right now, means you can take control of your finances for the future. A solid financial foundation is the backbone of your business, and we’re here to help. Seeking support is never a sign of weakness. You do you’re thing, and we’ll do ours. Reach out to your bookkeeper as your go-to partner for all things financial, and we, for one, would love to support you in conducting your own end-of-year review, to discuss your goals, address your concerns and discuss new ways you can grow your business in 2024. Whether the calendar year end is the same as your financial year end or not, this time of year is a great time naturally to sit and take a look at exactly what’s going on behind the spreadsheet. As we wish 2023 farewell, we’d love to raise a toast to you and your business and a new year of exciting growth.
