At TaxAssist Accountants we believe that full service does not mean that you should be dependent on us for your day-to-day. We believe that each client and each situation is different, and we want to provide you with the flexibility to choose the approach that works best for you.
This is why we provide online tools for bookkeeping and payroll that allow you to do as much or as little as you want to. We then decide together how much of the work you want to do and how much you want us to do. And that split can change over time as you gain more confidence with the tools. You decide!
"No data-entry" bookkeeping
We provide our clients with access to Dext (previously known as Receipt Bank) or Hubdoc, online services that allows automated capture of receipts and invoices. You just need to forward by email the electronic receipts you have received or scan them from your smartphone using the dedicated application.
Data Extraction that works every time
Technology based on AI extracts all relevant data from each item, with industry-leading accuracy using a combination of OCR technology and manual checks. The software will also categorise expenses and extract VAT when relevant. You can even rely on the results when receipts and invoices have been scrunched up!
All documents saved automatically into the cloud
No duplication or lost info as all data is saved securely to the cloud. If you also use Quickbooks Online or Xero, the data can be transferred to that application at the click of a button.
Sends extracted data to us automatically
No need to scramble to find information as a VAT deadline approaches or as the Accounts due date arrives. Just take a photo of the receipts as you receive them and never worry about losing them again.
Advanced Bookkeeping
If you need more functionality like be able to track your P&L in real time, be on top of your debtors, or have the ability to automatically grab transactions from your bank, Quickbooks Online or Xero provide your small business with the ultimate solution.
For a small monthly fee, you will always know how your business is doing. Plus it comes with full Dext integration making it an ideal tool for heavy volume businesses.
