Beckenham Bookkeeping Case Study: Jaynered Creative Design
Problem
Jayne Redgrave runs a successful ‘Creative Design’ business based in Beckenham, Kent focusing on marketing and branding, whether it be re-branding or for new companies.
As Jayne grew her business, she became increasingly aware that she needed to move her accounting process to recognised software. Jayne didn’t really know where to start as there are so many options out there but not only that, Jayne had no previous experience of using accounting software.
Jayne knew Paul Cain of Cain & Co Limited as they were introduced at a BNI meeting and they later became part of the leadership team at their local Chapter (Hurricanes) in Biggin Hill. Jayne got in touch with Paul and asked if he could help and how she could receive her training as the country was at the time, in lockdown due to COVID-19.
Solution
The first thing to do was to discuss the many options available for online accounting software and agree on a way forward. Jayne decided that Xero & Hubdoc would be her preferred option but needed to learn how to use this software very quickly. Paul explained that Cain & Co were now able to offer Xero & Hubdoc training sessions via Zoom.
The new Xero & Hubdoc online courses via Zoom were available as 5 hourly sessions for just £199* which is a saving of almost a third of the usual 1-2-1 courses.
Jayne booked in her 5 Zoom sessions with Paul and after she had completed the course and despite having no previous knowledge, quickly learnt how to post supplier invoices, raise sales invoices, reconcile the bank account and also run the management reports that provided essential information regarding her business’ finances.
Jayne also received help from Cain & Co to help her to understand what the reports meant and how she could use this information to make informed financial decisions.
In our client’s words:
Thank you so much to Paul Cain, Owner of Cain & Co, for the fantastic Xero and Hubdoc Training. As a creative I shiver at the thought of spread sheets and figures. Paul was so patient and the on line training via zoom really was amazing. I was able to see Pauls screen as he explained what I needed to do. I am now up and running and feel in control of my business. I have successfully used the lockdown time to learn a new skill and I highly recommend Paul for his Xero Workshop. He answered all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. Now I can keep up to date with my invoices and banking and not a spread sheet in sight.
