What’s our area of expertise?

When looking for a bookkeeper it’s essential to ask them what kind of clients they work with. Having experience and knowledge in your industry sector means that they can make suggestions for your business based on what other businesses in your industry do. They will also have a better understanding of how your business works.


Of course each business is different but knowing what can work for your industry sector will be a great advantage to your business.


A bookkeeper can of course do the bookkeeping for any industry but when they excel in certain areas they can offer you more than just the bookkeeping. 


Here at Bluebells bookkeeping we work with many different clients but most are based in either the beauty industry, health sector or construction industry. You may think these industries sound so much different from one another, but actually there's a lot of similarities that you wouldn’t believe!


If you work in these industries you can be sure that not only can we give you a great insight into your finances, but we can help you to become more productive based on our knowledge and understanding of your business sector. We ensure we’re up to date with any legislation around these areas such as the Construction Industry Scheme. This means that you don’t need to worry about trying to understand changes that come into play as we can explain it in a way which you will understand. We know how HMRC can make things a little confusing! 


Business owners have enough to worry about, the last thing you need is having to worry about deadlines. We will make sure you are aware in good time, taking the stress away. With the use of cloud accounting there shouldn’t be much work that you need to be involved in so you can invest your time into the areas of your business which need you most. Or, just have a well earned rest!


If your an owner of a business in either the beauty, health or construction industry and looking to outsource your bookkeeping then we’d love to hear from you. You can book in with us for a no-obligation consultation.

Growth is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if your financial foundations aren't solid. Before you take that next big step - whether it's hiring new staff, expanding your services, or investing in new equipment - it's crucial to give your business a thorough financial health check.
