Bookkeeping Support

I provide clear, accurate bookkeeping support to help you stay on top of your finances and meet deadlines with confidence.

This includes:

  • Bank reconciliations
  • Purchase and sales ledger processing
  • VAT returns and VAT reconciliations
  • Payroll journals and payroll-related bookkeeping
  • Month-end checks and reporting
  • Finance and balance-sheet reconciliations
  • Xero, Sage 50 and Sage Accounting support

Whether you need regular monthly support or help getting things back on track, services are tailored to your business.

Business, Governance & Administrative Support

I provide flexible business, governance and administrative support to SMEs, charities, sports clubs and community organisations that need additional expertise and capacity without employing a full-time member of staff.

Support can range from improving day-to-day systems and financial administration to governance, compliance, project coordination and developing the procedures an organisation needs as it grows.

Support can include:

  • Business administration and operational support
  • Governance reviews and organisational health checks
  • Policies, procedures and internal controls
  • Filing systems, record keeping and administrative workflows
  • Business plans and supporting documents
  • Cashflow forecasting and financial tracking
  • Compliance support and statutory registrations
  • Project coordination, action tracking and follow-ups
  • Document and information management
  • Development of practical systems, templates and procedures

This flexible approach allows organisations to access practical, experienced support when they need it, whether for a specific project, a period of growth or ongoing operational support.

Planning & Grant Support

I support charities, sports clubs, community organisations and businesses to identify suitable funding opportunities and develop strong, well-planned projects that meet funder requirements.

Support can begin at the earliest stage, helping to turn an idea or organisational priority into a fundable project, or at application stage where a suitable funding opportunity has already been identified.

Support can include:

  • Funding research and identifying suitable grant opportunities
  • Initial eligibility and funding-fit assessments
  • Developing project ideas and funding strategies
  • Preparing and submitting grant applications
  • Developing project budgets and eligible cost breakdowns
  • Preparing supporting documents and business plans
  • Coordinating quotations, evidence and supporting information
  • Liaising with funders and responding to additional information requests
  • Monitoring application deadlines and funding conditions
  • Supporting grant monitoring, reporting and evidence requirements

My approach is not simply to complete an application form. I work with organisations to understand what they want to achieve, identify the most appropriate funding route and develop a clear, evidence-based case for support.

Grant funding can never be guaranteed, but careful project development, funder research and a well-prepared application can help ensure that genuine opportunities are pursued effectively.

Construction Project & Handover Support

I provide practical project documentation and handover support to contractors, clients and community organisations, helping to ensure important construction information is collected, organised and ready when it is needed.

Support can begin at the start of a project, where I can establish a straightforward documentation system for the project team to maintain, or later in the project where information needs to be brought together for completion and handover.

Support can include:

  • Setting up project folder structures and document registers
  • Creating project-specific documentation and handover checklists
  • Tracking certificates, warranties and commissioning information
  • Collating product, equipment and maintenance information
  • Maintaining drawing and document registers
  • Coordinating information from contractors, subcontractors and suppliers
  • Tracking outstanding Building Control and handover documentation
  • Assisting with Building Log Book information where required
  • Identifying gaps and outstanding project records
  • Organising O&M information and final electronic handover documentation

The aim is to make project completion and handover more manageable by ensuring documentation is collected and organised as the work progresses, rather than trying to reconstruct everything at the end.

Support can also be provided on existing projects where documentation has become fragmented or additional coordination is needed to bring the handover information together.

Pricing

All services are priced according to the level of support required, the complexity of the work and the timescales involved.

Support can be provided on an ad-hoc basis, for a defined project or as an ongoing monthly retainer, depending on what works best for your organisation.

Following an initial conversation, I’ll provide a clear outline of the proposed support, how the work will be charged and, where appropriate, an agreed budget or fee cap. There is no obligation to proceed.
