Every business no
matter what its size is legally obliged to 'keep the
books'. A bookkeeper does exactly that using
the double entry bookkeeping system that was
invented more than 500 years ago.
Business owners
will find that by employing a bookkeeper, rather
than an accountant, to 'keep the books' they can save
a lot of money!

It is now a legal
requirement that anyone offering 'accounting
services' whether for payment or on a voluntary
basis must be registered
either with the HM Revenue and Customs or with an
HM Treasury appointed supervisory body.
The Inland
Revenue define 'accounting services' as any service
that pertains to the 'recording, review, analysis,
calculation or reporting of financial information'.
Bookkeeping is about the recording of the financial
transactions of a business and so this requirement covers the work
of bookkeepers.
Bookkeeping is now a regulated
profession.
The Institute of Certified
Bookkeepers is a supervisory body that is
regulated by the Inland Revenue. Kathryn, the
proprietor of KPL Office Services, holds a
Practising Certificate and is authorised to
work in practice by the Institute of Certified
Bookkeepers.
