Bookkeeping & Accounting 

Accurate records. Meaningful numbers. Full compliance.

Good bookkeeping and good accounting are two sides of the same coin, and Making Tax Digital has raised the bar for both. It is no longer enough to keep tidy records and reconcile at year-end. UK businesses now need accurate, compliant digital records maintained all year round, feeding into financial reporting that is genuinely useful at the leadership level, not just technically correct.

​

At Finara, we handle both functions as a single, integrated service. Your books are kept current and MTD-compliant throughout the year, and your management accounts are prepared to a standard that gives your leadership team a clear, honest picture of where the business stands  and the confidence to make decisions from it.

​

What's included:

Bookkeeping & MTD Compliance

​

  • MTD-compliant digital record keeping

  • Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliation

  • VAT return preparation and submission

  • Ongoing compliance reviews to catch issues early, not after the fact

  • A dedicated point of contact for queries throughout the year

Accounting & Financial Reporting

​

  • Monthly management accounts, prepared to board-presentation standard

  • Annual statutory financial statements

  • Profit & loss analysis with trend and variance commentary

  • Balance sheet preparation and reconciliation

  • KPI tracking and performance dashboards

  • Cash flow reporting and forecasting support

​

Whether you are transitioning to MTD for the first time, looking for a more dependable bookkeeping partner, or simply want financial reporting that is built to be read, understood and acted on rather than filed away, our team works as a seamless extension of yours, keeping your numbers accurate and your business decisions well-informed.

Audit Support

Capacity when you need it. Quality you can rely on. Delivered offshore, overseen by partners with UK experience.

The Challenge

UK audit practices face the same pressures every season:

​

  • Peak workload spikes with no flexible capacity to absorb them

  • Low recovery on smaller audits due to high UK delivery costs

  • Existing offshore arrangements lacking consistent quality and oversight

  • Documentation gaps and quality risks when staff are stretched thin

 

​

These are not temporary problems. They are structural  and they require a structural solution.

Finara as a Solution

We provide UK audit practices with a dedicated offshore audit team. Qualified, UK-experienced, and built around your methodology.

​

  • Offshore delivery at 40–50% of UK resourcing costs

  • Onshore involvement limited to partner review only

  • Manager oversight on every engagement

  • Seamless integration into your existing audit tools and processes

 

​

More capacity. Better recovery. No compromise on quality.

We remain part of the entire audit cycle from planning to completion​:

  • Engage in the meetings with the onshore team and the client in all phases from audit planning to completion. 

  • Process walkthroughs and control testing ahead of audit fieldwork. 

  • Preparation of audit planning and completion documentation on audit file ahead of Audit Partner review. 

  • Direct liaison support with audit teams and client team (subject to approval).
  • Clear progress update to the on-site point of contact at regular intervals. 

  • Year-round audit-readiness reviews, not just a scramble at audit season

  • External audit preparation and working paper assembly.

  • Sample testing and substantive procedures support.

  • Financial statement verification and cross-checking.

  • Full compliance documentation aligned to UK auditing standards.

  • Completion documentation including the audit file.

  • Pension scheme audit testing including member testing, contributions, benefits, and investment reconciliations

  • Master Trust Assurance support

  • High-volume, population-based testing aligned to structured audit methodologies

What We Deliver

Quality control

Independence, Ethics & Training

Quality is governed through a layered review structure with defined KPIs and periodic QA checks:

​

  • Offshore review and quality checks completed before partner review.

  • Rework rates, timeliness, and file quality scores tracked as defined KPIs.

  • Periodic file quality reviews with structured feedback loops.

  • Quality aide-mémoires and process checklists used throughout.

  • Clear project management guidelines to support timely planning and deadline compliance.

The offshore team operates as a genuine extension of the UK team, not a separate operation. This means:

​

  • Annual independence confirmations from all offshore staff.

  • No advisory or non-audit services provided to audit clients.

  • No direct client-facing communication unless explicitly agreed.

  • All mandatory UK firm training applies to offshore staff, including independence, ethics, methodology updates, and data protection
