The week gets its evenings back.

The books, the payroll, the invoicing, the chasing, and the admin that gives you your time back. Time to focus on things that matter.

Hours this work usually takes

Most owners are short of evenings, not short of money.

What is below is the work that gets done at nine at night because there was no room for it at nine in the morning. Each of the five puts its own hours out.

  • Bookkeeping

    Weekly

    Bank reconciliation, purchases and sales, VAT returns, and a set of books that is ready the day your accountant asks for it rather than three weeks later.

    Debit
    €295
    Credit
    5 hrs
    A month. The base retainer, before transaction volume is priced.
  • Payroll

    Monthly

    Payslips, revenue submissions and the year end, run to the calendar rather than to the reminder email. Nobody has to remember it, which is the point.

    Debit
    €25
    Credit
    1 hr
    A month. Priced from the number of people on it.
  • Invoicing

    As raised

    Invoices raised, issued and logged, so the work you did in March is not still sitting unbilled in May. The payment goes to you, never through us.

    Debit
    Line by line
    Credit
    2 hrs
  • Credit control

    On a schedule

    Overdue invoices followed up on a schedule, by somebody other than you. It is a good deal easier to be firm when it is not your own name at the bottom of the email.

    Debit
    Line by line
    Credit

  • Admin

    As it lands

    The supplier forms, the insurance renewal, the licence that expires quietly. The work that never makes it onto a list until it is already late.

    Debit
    Line by line

The credit column is what this work typically takes a small business doing it itself, from published surveys rather than from our own clients. Yours will be different, and we will tell you what we think yours looks like before you commit to anything.

Entered and kept by

The people you speak to are the people responsible for it. Anything a junior works on is closely guided and supervised by us before it reaches you, and nothing is sent offshore. When you ring, you get one of the two of us.

Two lines we do not cross.

Your money stays yours.

We keep the books. We do not hold your money, we do not move it, and we are not asking for the access that would let us. You stay the only signatory on your own accounts, and every payment goes to you rather than through us.

The book is yours if you go.

If you ever decide we are not the right pair, we hand the books over to you: the files, the records and every account, all already in your name. No notice period, no exit fee, and no phone call where we try to talk you out of it.

BankRuled off. Not ours to enter.

Are you hiring? Not at the moment, and we will say so plainly.

A fair number of people who find this page are looking for a job rather than for a service, and it seems only decent to answer that here rather than let anyone write an email for nothing. The work is done here in Mullinavat, by the two of us and by juniors we guide closely. We are not taking anyone on at the moment, and when that changes it will be said on this page first.

Tell us what the week looks like.

We come back in days, not weeks.
