Happy Christmas!

Knutsford Admin would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas.   There will be plenty of people out there who are looking forward to a well-earned break, hopefully not too many who are scrambling around trying to get their accounts done at the last minute!

Throughout 2012 Colette and I have worked together on a number of clients projects in a job share way.  Some projects involve weekly visits to those small businesses that need all round admin help primarily centred on their bookkeeping packages: SAGE and QuickBooks.  However our work is not purely focussed on the computer, we have mopped floors, cleaned windows and cleared junk off shelves so that filing systems can be established!  Examples of some of the work we’ve carried out:

  • Co-ordinated Health and Safety inspections and overseen the development of the office manual
  • Organised insurance policies and claims
  • Created job descriptions, time sheets, holiday records, work contracts
  • Started and manage a twitter account
  • Created bespoke excel spread sheet solutions: a bookings diary for a cattery, a register for fitness classes with an automatic totals page showing who’s paid and how many in each class
  • Reconciled a year’s worth of neglected bank accounts in QuickBooks and SAGE
  • Transferred utility, phone and card machine companies

Certainly, there’s been a great variety of jobs to keep us on our toes.

Knutsford Admin will be recruiting a new team member in January 2013, one aim is to have our office door open, at Parkgate Industrial Estate, Knutsford, to drop in visitors for one off admin tasks and to be able to offer a more immediate response for clients who maybe need a task completing urgently.  This might be:

  • booking tickets for a journey
  • making a phone call on the client’s behalf, where another voice can be useful
  • carrying out some quick research
  • sending an email perhaps chasing a debt
We also look forward to continuing to use Microsoft Office 365 in 2013 with our newly created Team Site.  Each client will have their own secure page where we can share access to relevant documents or spread sheets, I’ll be writing a bit more about this in 2013.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas season, enjoy the break and we look forward to working with you in 2013.

Very best wishes

Helen
