FAQs

What are bookeeping services ?

Bookkeeping services involve the day-to-day management of a business’s financial records. This includes recording all transactions, such as income and expenses, to ensure accurate and up-to-date financial information. At Lumin Accountancy, our bookkeeping services are designed to give you a clear picture of your finances while saving you time.

Key tasks include:

  • Tracking sales, purchases, and payments.
  • Reconciling bank statements with business accounts.
  • Organising receipts and invoices.
  • Preparing data for tax filings and financial reporting.

With our professional bookkeeping support, you can focus on growing your business while we handle the numbers, ensuring everything is accurate and compliant.

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

While bookkeepers and accountants both deal with financial information, their roles and responsibilities differ:

Bookkeeper: A bookkeeper manages the day-to-day financial records of a business. They track transactions, organise receipts, reconcile bank statements, and maintain accurate financial data. Their focus is on ensuring that your financial records are complete and up-to-date.
Accountant: An accountant takes the data provided by a bookkeeper and uses it to provide insights, prepare tax returns, create financial reports, and offer strategic advice. Accountants also ensure compliance with tax laws and help businesses plan for growth.

At Lumin Accountancy, we offer both bookkeeping and accounting services, so whether you need help with daily financial tasks or expert guidance for big decisions, we’ve got you covered.

Do I need an accountant for bookkeeping?

Not necessarily. Bookkeeping focuses on recording day-to-day financial transactions, which can be handled by a bookkeeper or even through accounting software. However, an accountant can provide additional value by reviewing your bookkeeping records for accuracy, preparing financial reports, and offering strategic advice based on the data.

At Lumin Accountancy, we can manage your bookkeeping for you or work alongside
your bookkeeper to ensure your records are accurate and ready for tax filing and financial planning. This combination ensures your finances are always in excellent shape.

When should I hire a bookkeeper?

You should consider hiring a bookkeeper when:

  1. Your financial records become too time-consuming: As your business grows, managing daily transactions can take up valuable time that could be better spent on other areas of your business.
  2. You want to ensure accuracy and compliance: A bookkeeper ensures that your records are accurate and up-to-date, reducing the risk of errors or missed tax deadlines.
  3. You need to focus on business growth: Outsourcing bookkeeping allows you to focus on running and growing your business while leaving the financial details to the experts.
  4. You’re using accounting software: Even if you’re using software, a bookkeeper can ensure your data is organised and correctly entered, ensuring you have reliable financial reports.
Does my bookkeeper need access to my bank account?

In most cases, yes, your bookkeeper will need access to your bank account, or at least your bank statements to accurately track and record transactions. This ensures they can reconcile your accounts, monitor cash flow, and maintain up-to-date financial records.

At Lumin Accountancy, we use secure, trusted methods to access your financial information and ensure your data is protected. If you’re concerned about privacy or security, we can discuss how to grant access in a way that works best for you.
