DS February Newsletter & HMRC Updates
What's new with DS Business Support
We are super pleased to have Jenny on board. Jenny is a Sage expert of over 19 years and trained me over 6 years ago when I entered the world of bookkeeping. Jenny will be an asset to DS Business Support and Im sure you will all make her feel very welcome.
Don't forget: If you are always hands on at work and struggle to keep on top of admin and paying suppliers, we are here to take that off your to do list. We have teamed up with a great software company which integrate with your Xero - meaning any bills which are due are paid on time - without us needing direct access to your bank account. If you would like more information on this service, please let me know - this can also be used for paying wages
Don't forget: it isn't only bookkeeping we do here - we are also available as Virtual Assistants to keep on top of your emails, invoicing, chasing clients' invoices owed to you - clearing out junk emails and making you aware of only the emails which you need to action
