Welcome
ASW Bookkeeping is licensed with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and specialises in providing a friendly local service to sole traders, partnerships and small to medium sized businesses in Midlothian and the surrounding area.
As the business owner, it's your responsibility to make sure your business keeps accurate records and accounts.
This involves keeping all receipts and invoices relating to the business and recording them in a suitable manual or computerised system. This is bookkeeping and it allows the production of the necessary financial and accounting reports for the business whether it be a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
Employing a bookkeeper to record your financial transactions and produce financial reports will allow you to concentrate on running your business and specifically on generating income. Regular financial reports will also keep you up-to-date with your businesses performance and allow you to react accordingly.
