Where we start
Agree how receipts and invoices are collected, named and linked to transactions. Identify gaps and the owner responsible for supplying evidence.
Service
Receipt and invoice organisation
Make supporting records easier to find and use.
What needs care
Organisation helps bookkeeping; it does not decide whether an expense is allowable or VAT is recoverable. Uncertain treatment requires appropriate review.
What the handover should contain
Use a regular submission routine and an exceptions list instead of searching through messages at month end.
Build a routine you can maintain
Agree one document collection route, the deadline for submitting records and who answers missing-information queries. Receipts scattered between email, paper and personal messages are harder to trace. Consistent collection makes transaction matching easier and gives you a clear list of gaps at handover.
What makes a document useful?
A readable document should identify the supplier or customer, date, amount and what the transaction relates to. Tell us if a bill has been credited or paid in several instalments. Unclear or missing evidence is raised as a query; expense eligibility and uncertain VAT treatment follow the accountant review route.

We support businesses in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Gloucestershire entirely remotely. Agree the scope with Antony by phone or email, provide records through the agreed online handover and grant named Xero access.
