Strong Financial Foundations for Better Decision-Making
Accurate bookkeeping and reliable payroll are the foundation of every successful business. Without clear financial records, it becomes difficult to manage cash flow, understand profitability, or plan effectively.
By putting the right processes in place, you gain more than just organised accounts — you gain visibility and control. You can see where your money is going, identify inefficiencies, and make decisions based on accurate, up-to-date information.
At Cubed Consultancy, we focus on building finance functions that are efficient, dependable, and aligned with how your business operates. The result is less time spent on admin and more time focused on growth.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?
Growing businesses need both, but for different reasons. A bookkeeper records invoices, receipts, bank reconciliation and VAT returns. An accountant interprets it and files statutory accounts and tax returns. If you’re losing evenings to data entry, you need bookkeeping. At Cubed Consultancy we provide both, which avoids the gap between the two where the costly mistakes happen. If you’re not sure which you need, send us a month of your records and we’ll tell you.
What business records do I need to keep, and for how long?
Sales and purchase invoices, bank statements, receipts, payroll records and VAT records. Limited companies must keep records six years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to; sole traders at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline for the relevant tax year. Digital copies are acceptable provided they’re legible and complete. Modern accounting software makes them straightforward to keep. The records people fail to keep are usually cash transactions and mileage, which are the first things HMRC asks about.
What accounting software do you work with?
We work with all the major packages — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent among them — but Xero is our preference and it’s what we’d recommend if you’re starting from scratch. The software matters far less than whether it’s set up properly; most of the problems we’re asked to fix are configuration, not the package. If you’re weighing a move, we’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth the upheaval.
What's included in payroll processing?
Payroll processing covers starters and leavers, RTI submissions to HMRC on or before each pay date, payslips, statutory sick, maternity and paternity pay, pension auto-enrolment assessment and submissions, student loan and attachment of earnings deductions and year-end P60s and P11Ds. The part businesses most often get wrong is auto-enrolment — the assessment runs every pay period, not once when someone joins. If you’re running payroll yourself and dreading that side of it, hand it over.
Do you handle CIS returns for construction businesses?
Yes. We handle contractor monthly CIS returns, subcontractor verification, deduction statements and offsetting CIS suffered against PAYE liabilities for limited company subcontractors. Late CIS returns attract an automatic penalty as soon as the deadline passes and the penalties stack month on month, which is why this is the return construction businesses most often come to us about once it has already gone wrong. Send us your last three months of subcontractor payments and we’ll get you current.
