Many things need to be done to manage a business successfully. Some link directly to success, perhaps being innovative, creative, and fun to carry out. Others are no less essential, but are routine, statutory and frankly no fun to carry out.

It is clear where the focus of managing a business should be, however neglecting the routines can cause financial log jams that strangle concentration on key issues and tasks. Unresolved the job of sorting out these problems becomes more time consuming and more difficult.

What is needed is an expert who can be relied on to deal with such matters in a way that streamlines the process and avoids unnecessary problems or delays.

With CLB Coopers acting in this external finance role you take on additional capacity and skills, not only reducing the load, but knowing that all the appropriate expertise is brought to bear to do so effectively.

Major Tasks

We aim to work with you to improve your business performance by using highly trained staff and dedicated software packages. We undertake reviews and provide advice on:

Review an implementation of financial systems and controls
Accounts and Sage training
Sage 50, upgrades and stationery
Accounts support and cover
Management systems and cost reductions
Business planning and benchmarking
Grant availability
Payroll bureau
Remuneration structuring

Consider two examples:

1. Managing your company payroll: this must clearly be accurate, on time and take account of up to date statutory factors relating to tax, NIC, pensions, Social Security etc. Removing this administrative nightmare, the CLB Coopers in-house payroll bureau will see to all the details, tailoring the service (including deadlines and pay dates) to your needs.

2. Accounting processes: if staff resources are stretched you can augment them from CLB Coopers, either using a full book-keeping service or any combination of services, including periodic management reports, preparation of accounts and VAT returns.
