Overview

Get Off the Books and Back to Running Your Business

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.

Problems

The Accounting Problems Most Small Businesses Live With

01

Books are weeks or months behind and reconciliation happens in a panic before deadlines

02

No clear picture of profitability per client, service, or period

03

Payroll is stressful and occasionally wrong. Staff notice

04

Invoices go out late, which means cash comes in late

05

Outstanding debtors pile up because nobody has time to chase them

06

VAT returns are filed at the last minute without proper checks

07

Year-end accounts cost more than they should because the records are a mess

08

You are paying your accountant too much to do basic work that could be handled for less

Covers

What CorpCats Covers

01

Marketing

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.

02

Payroll Management

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.

03

Invoicing and Credit Control

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.

04

VAT Returns

Accurate, timely VAT returns prepared and submitted with checks in place to ensure nothing is miscoded or missed. MTD-compliant as standard.

05

Management Accounts

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.

06

Financial Reporting

Regular reporting for directors, investors, or lenders, prepared in a format that serves your needs rather than just ticking a compliance box.

Accounting Difference

The CorpCats Accounting Difference

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.

Who

Who This Is For

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

FAQs

Frequently Asked questions

We already have an accountant. Why would we need you as well?

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.
