Opal Office Services - Bookkeeping Services Essex

We’ll look after your books while you look after your business

Bookkeeping

Full bookkeeping service, from managing documents to producing monthly accounts and liaising with your accountant.

VAT

We take on your VAT deadlines for you and ensure your returns are submitted on time.

Payroll

We deal with all aspects of payroll, including auto-enrolment

Accounting Software

We use cloud based accounting software and look for the one most suited to your business.

Bookkeeping

We use cloud bookkeeping software for all our clients. If you are on a desktop version, we can easily move you to onto cloud software.

We also use Dext (previously Receipt Bank) which enables us to e-mail purchase invoices to their software and then into the accounting software seamlessly. We can also show you how to use their clever app to take a photo of your receipts which we can then group together into expense claims or match against your bank statements. HMRC accepts Dext as a way of storing paperwork, and therefore once the receipt has been uploaded, it can be discarded. It saves paper, printing, postage and storage costs.

If you like the sound of this way of working, please get in touch and we can explain how it works.

VAT

No extra work is needed to complete your VAT returns, as VAT is entered during the bookkeeping process. However, we will check everything looks correct, will remember your deadlines and submit the return to HMRC on your behalf.

Payroll

We offer a full payroll service, currently using BrightPay payroll software. We can do weekly, monthly or annual payroll and provide you with the details you need to pay your staff. We can e-mail payslips to you or direct to your staff, and we will submit your RTI Returns to HMRC, and remind you when to pay HMRC.

We can set up your auto-enrolment pension on your behalf, ensuring you comply with all deadlines, and will also manage it on a monthly basis.
