Practical support for UK financial advice firms that want to save time, look current and grow with confidence.
You did not start your business to spend your evenings reconciling transactions on Xero. But here you are at 9pm, trying to remember what that £340 payment was for and wondering why your accounts look nothing like your bank balance.
For most small business owners, accounting sits in a permanent state of “I will sort it properly soon.” Tax deadlines create panic. Cash flow visibility is patchy. The numbers do not tell you what you actually need to know to make good decisions.
Books are weeks or months behind and reconciliation happens in a panic before deadlines
No clear picture of profitability per client, service, or period
Payroll is stressful and occasionally wrong. Staff notice
Invoices go out late, which means cash comes in late
Outstanding debtors pile up because nobody has time to chase them
VAT returns are filed at the last minute without proper checks
Year-end accounts cost more than they should because the records are a mess
You are paying your accountant too much to do basic work that could be handled for less
Regular, accurate bookkeeping: bank reconciliation, transaction coding, expenses management. Your books are always up to date, not just at deadline time. We work in Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or whatever platform you use.
We run your payroll each month on time, accurately, and in compliance with HMRC requirements. RTI submissions, pension auto-enrolment, P60s, P45s, statutory pay calculations, all handled.
We send your invoices on time and chase outstanding balances professionally and persistently. The average SME is owed over £25,000 in late payments at any given time. We recover that money systematically without damaging client relationships.
Accurate, timely VAT returns prepared and submitted with checks in place to ensure nothing is miscoded or missed. MTD-compliant as standard.
Monthly or quarterly management accounts that actually tell you something useful. Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow forecast, and commentary on what the numbers mean for the business.
Regular reporting for directors, investors, or lenders, prepared in a format that serves your needs rather than just ticking a compliance box.
We are not a traditional accountancy firm. We are an operational support business with an accounting function, which means we think about your finances in the context of your wider business, not just as a set of statutory obligations.
Our accounting team works alongside our admin, marketing, and operations teams. When we spot a cash flow issue, we can help you address it commercially, not just report it to you.
Business owners who are personally doing the bookkeeping and spending hours on it
SMEs that have outgrown their current accountant but are not big enough for a finance director
Growing businesses that need proper management accounts rather than just year-end statutory accounts
Financial services firms with payroll complexity and regulatory reporting requirements
Companies with consistent cash flow problems driven by slow invoicing or weak credit control
Most accountants handle statutory and tax compliance. They are not set up to do your day-to-day bookkeeping, run your payroll, or chase your debtors. CorpCats fills the operational accounting gap between what you do in-house and what your accountant does at year-end. Many of our clients keep their existing accountant for statutory work while we handle everything else.
Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, and most other cloud-based platforms. If you are not on a cloud platform, we can help you migrate.
Yes. We can do a catch-up bookkeeping exercise to bring your records current before moving into ongoing monthly support.
A bookkeeper handles transaction recording. CorpCats provides a fuller accounting function: bookkeeping, payroll, credit control, VAT, and management reporting as a managed service. You get a team rather than an individual.
Book a call with CorpCats. We will look at your current accounting situation, what you are handling and what is falling through the cracks, and tell you exactly what support would make the biggest difference.
