Welcome to Logical BI
We can't wait to get started helping you!
Thank you for accepting our proposal, I am so excited to be working with you! Here is a quick guide on what happens next.
And remember, if you have any questions, please just ask.
Steps 1-3: The first steps
Before we
can start work we need to do anti money laundering checks which are designed to
protect the UK financial system. In
order to comply with these regulations, we must carry out these reviews for
every Individual, Company Director, Sole Trader or Partner etc. once these are
completed we are ready to begin!
As our
clients are billed monthly, you’ll be sent a personlised link to our chosen
direct debit provider, GoCardless so that you can set up the mandate. You will be sent invoices for your records
but be assured that these will be automatically handled to avoid the need of
having to make manual payments. You will
have 7 days from date of invoice (set 10th of each month) to date of
payment. You may also receive a one-off
invoice for past accounts completion and/or initial business review and
software set up. All fees will be as
agreed in our initial proposal.
Once you’ve
let your previous accountant know you are switching, we’ll contact them for
connecting info. We can’t strictly take
over until we’ve heard from them and received your past financial data.
Steps 4-6: Let's Get Going
Once we
have everything from your accountant we will complete HMRC forms, for which you
will give permission for us to act upon your behalf as our client with HMRC and
Companies House. We will also be setting
you up on our systems so that we can manage your work and deadlines for you.
If you are
setting up a new Partnership or a Limited Company there will be additional work
with yourself and registration with HMRC and Companies house which we will
cover at this stage.
As a company registered with the Chartered Institute
of Management Accountants Members in Practice, you can rest assured that we are
subject to regular reviews and all of your details are stored securely to
comply with GDPR regulations. If there’s
anything you don’t understand about this process, or there’s something you’d
like to ask us – please
do! We’re
here to make this as seamless as possible.
If required
we will set you up on Xero and any interlinking software as required, for this
we will need additional information such as business logo, invoicing requirements
and bank details from yourselves. If you
have requested Dext as part of your package we will also set this up.
If you are
already on Xero we will complete a healthcheck and provide feedback as
required.
We
will provide Xero training as required and have our initial onboarding
meeting. You will be set up with your
finances and we will keep checking in with you to see how you’re doing. We will also arrange your business review
meetings per your accounting package a few weeks in advance so that we can fix
meeting dates that are convenient to both of our businesses.
