Typically you need evidence for all income and costs, bank records, invoices, receipts, and expense claims. You also need to retain key company records such as payroll and VAT documentation where relevant. You will be guided on what applies to your setup. Do I need to use specific software for record-keeping support? No, but using cloud accounting and a consistent document capture method makes things easier. Support can be tailored to the tools you already use. If changes are recommended, you will be told exactly why and what to do next. How often should my records be reviewed? Most limited companies benefit from a monthly or quarterly routine. More frequent reviews help if you have VAT, payroll, lots of transactions, or you want closer control of cash flow. The right frequency depends on volume and risk. Will this help with VAT and expenses as well? Yes, because VAT returns and expense claims rely on good source documents and clear categorisation. You will be shown what evidence to keep and how to avoid common mistakes. This reduces the chance of errors and missed claims. Can you help if my records are already behind? Yes, support can include getting your records back into a workable shape and setting a process to stay on track. The priority is to identify what is missing and rebuild the audit trail where possible. You will also get a clear plan to prevent the same issues recurring.
