Local garage
From paper records to five hours saved each week.
The challenge
The garage was using paper-based records and needed a way to monitor its taxes ahead of deadlines.
The approach
- Moved from paper-based records to Xero.
- Introduced an invoice capture process.
- Used Xero to monitor taxes in advance of deadlines.
Outcome
The change saved five hours a week and gave the garage a clearer view of its taxes before deadlines.
5 hours a week — Hours saved each week

Do you work with sole traders as well as limited companies?
Yes. The practice is set up to support both self-employed people and limited companies, from keeping the books to staying on top of tax and year-end accounts.
I have fallen behind with my bookkeeping. Is that a problem?
It is a common place to start, not a reason to stay stuck. We can look at what is missing, agree a sensible order of work and get you back to a rhythm that is manageable.
Can you help with VAT and CIS questions?
Yes. VAT and construction industry accounting are part of the day-to-day conversations this practice is designed for. Send an enquiry and tell us what you are working through.
