Strange times for us all.  Even though we're still super busy, it feels a bit like we're in limbo, waiting for something to happen. 
Several bits of news from No 10. Rishi Sunak's budget last week. a few surprises there. I'm pleased about the changes to Stamp Duty, long overdue I feel and will help people who want to move house. 
I'm not sure about the eat out discount, I'm partial to a takeaway myself. 
Flexible furlough. Great for employers who can now bring staff back on a part time basis. More information on the gov.uk website along with all the other updates.
Stay safe everyone.

The Government's furlough scheme has been extended to the end of October, announced Chancellor Rishi Sunak today. 
Employees will continue to receive 80% of their wages with employers contributing to the wages costs from August. See BBC News website for details, link below.

We hope you're all staying well and positive.

Cherry Bookkeeping, a bit about us and how it all started.

Owner Pauline Nichols is a qualified, experienced bookkeeper, being a Fellow Member of the IAB (International Association of Bookkeepers).

We have been established since 2014 but Pauline has been bookkeeping since 2003. Pauline comes from a commercial background and has worked in various businesses including publishing, fashion, shipping and export.

Pauline set up the bookkeeping business because so many small businesses wanted her help and she didn’t want to restrict herself to working for one specific company when she could be free to help lots of small businesses providing bespoke accounts support.

We have all sorts of clients (they are all lovely),  mainly small limited companies but we also cater for sole traders, sub-contractors and individuals.

If you are interested in becoming one of our treasured, valued clients, get in touch today. We’d love to help you.
Call us for a chat or send us a message.

No, we definitely have NOT been sleeping. 
We've been mega busy ensuring all our clients that need to be MTD compliant ARE MTD compliant.
If you haven't heard of MTD - Making Tax Digital - you must have been snoozing on the job. 
Making Tax (VAT) Digital is now in effect for VAT registered businesses that have a turnover above the VAT threshold of £85k. 
If you would like more information on MTD and how it affects you, get in touch.
