A BIT ABOUT
CJ Bookkeeping
As a small business ourselves, we have faced and resolved many of the challenges that businesses go through and we have grown stronger as a result. Working with so many clients across many different industries is also an amazing learning experience. This valuable insight into other businesses helps us to create solutions that work in the real world.
As a Xero Gold partner, our ability to view our own financial performance improved and greatly benefited our own business and help our clients achieve similar results.
So in our bookkeeping, we offer so much more than processing your figures. We work in partnership with you so, together, we can identify areas for improvement, come up with practical solutions and then monitor progress to get the desired results.
For our payroll clients, we become your payroll department, closely and seamlessly integrated into your organisation, keeping you fully informed and your employees happy. For accountancy firms, we offer a white-labelled payroll service to enable them to offer payroll as an additional service to their clients. By working as an invisible extension to their accountancy business, their clients are completely unaware that a third party is involved.
We passionately believe in investing our time to build a close business relationship with you, so that we quickly become an intricate part of your team.
We work closely with you to bring your business into focus.
For help with your bookkeeping, payroll or white-label payroll bureau service
please call CJ Bookkeeping Ltd.
INTRODUCING…
The CJ Bookkeeping Team
Clare Haynes – Director
Clare is the founder of CJ Bookkeeping. Having built up the practice from a sole trader to a Ltd company with 6 employees Clare has met many challenges that business owners face and is passionate about passing those learnings onto clients.
As a business owner herself, Clare understands fully that the accounts are the heart of any business and how it is hard for many business owners to let go of this very key area of the business, but it’s critical to the business to put this in the hands of the experts. For this very reason, Clare is passionate about building relationships and partnerships with clients and accountants alike to ensure she and the team become an integral part of each client’s business.
Jacqui joined the team at CJ Bookkeeping in 2018 having spent more than 25 years in accounting roles.
As a self-confessed natural born planner and organiser, Jacqui enjoys helping clients to identify what is currently working and what new processes to implement to help streamline their accounting procedures.
Jacqui loves getting to know and work with multiple clients as it means the job is always varied and enables her to constantly learn and develop knowledge that she can then pass on. Jacqui understands that every client is different and needs a unique service.
Sandra Crawford – Payroll Manager
Joining the team in 2020, Sandra assists with the ever-growing list of payroll clients CJ Bookkeeping are taking on. With 40 years’ experience within payroll and HR Sandra has worked with a vast number of businesses and industries handling large payrolls. She is perfectly placed to keep on top of all the relevant compliance works in addition to the payroll processing, of which there are many when you have so many payroll clients, so we rely on Sandra to keep us all in check and compliant.
Jo Sutch – Client Account Manager
Jo has been a part of the CJ Bookkeeping team since April 2019, bringing an additional 20 years’ experience to the team.
Jo is great at keeping our clients in check, ensuring they have constant live financial data at the click of a button. Jo’s specialist area is reviewing and monitoring the financial information to communicate the financial situation to the clients in a way they understand and therefore appreciate, rather than just handing over a bunch of reports and leaving the client to decipher for themselves!
TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER
Software we use
Below are the core software elements we use in our own digital bookkeeping practice. We then bolt-on additional software to best compliment our business practice and the processes we have put in place.
We, therefore, recommend these same software platforms to our clients as the base of their business accounting system and assist in the setup. We then build on these initial platforms to create bespoke accounting processes for each client’s business, or to help the operational processes and the workflow into the accounts.
