Bookkeeping should give a business owner a reliable view of what has happened and what still needs attention. Ledger & Co keeps the records current, flags missing information and prepares reporting that can be discussed alongside payroll, tax and advisory work.
Monthly service
Monthly books kept current, reconciled and ready to use.
Ledger & Co maintains the financial records that support tax submissions, payroll reporting and business decisions. The work is completed as part of a consistent monthly process rather than allowed to accumulate until year-end.

Questions
Questions about monthly bookkeeping.
What happens if records are behind?
Ledger & Co will first identify the period affected, the missing information and the amount of clean-up required. Historical work should be scoped separately from the recurring monthly service.
Do reports arrive automatically?
Reports depend on complete information and timely responses to queries. The monthly process is designed to make those requirements clear before reporting is finalised.
Can bookkeeping be combined with payroll and tax?
Yes, where the scope is agreed. Keeping these functions with one team helps reduce duplicated queries and unclear responsibility.
Discuss monthly bookkeeping as part of a monthly finance scope.
Tell Ledger & Co how the business currently handles bookkeeping, payroll, tax and reporting. The team will review the scope and confirm the suitable next step.
