Are my accounts and tax returns included?
Yes. Business Pulse includes your year-end accounts and tax returns, from £299 + VAT a month for quarterly support or £499 + VAT a month for monthly support. Payroll, pensions and CIS are priced separately.
What happens in the review meeting?
We go through sales and gross margin, then payroll and overheads, then cash, late-paying customers and the VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax coming up, and then the decisions ahead. Before the meeting ends, the decisions, the actions with an owner and a date, and any change to the forecast are written down.
Can I change between quarterly and monthly?
Yes, at any time.
Do I need to buy forecasting software?
No. The budget, the forecast, the management accounts and the agreed actions are kept in Buzz OS, with no extra software subscription.
What if my bookkeeping is not up to date?
We check the bookkeeping before the service starts, and any clean-up is quoted separately. If it is well behind, a Buzz finance team can bring it up to date and keep it there.
Can I buy a budget, a forecast or management accounts on their own?
Yes. A budget, a cash flow forecast, a business plan, management accounts and review meetings are each available on their own. Book a call and we will price the part you need.
How is Business Pulse different from the finance team?
Business Pulse plans, reports and reviews, and you or your bookkeeper keep doing the day-to-day work. A Buzz finance team does the day-to-day work: bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, customer invoicing and supplier payments.
How is it different from a part-time finance director?
The finance director service adds a KPI dashboard and a quarterly board meeting with Peter Allen, Buzz’s Financial Director, and includes the day-to-day finance work as well.
