Before Total Accounting

Before partnering with Total Accounting, this agency was running on fragmented systems and good intentions. A bookkeeper handled the day-to-day and a separate year-end accountant filed the compliance — but the two never talked, and the gaps between them were costing real money. Accounts were consistently late, tax planning was missed entirely, and the directors had no idea how their ad spend was performing by client. Debtors and creditors were unreliable, the bank hadn’t been reconciled, and the business was quietly losing interest income it didn’t know it was owed. The directors were working hard. The numbers just weren’t working with them.
