Home About Who We Are Our Purpose Case Studies Services Virtual Accounts Department Bookkeeping Payroll & AE For Creative & Digital Media Agencies Business and Personal Tax Xero Resources Business Apps News Client Portal Contact Search Menu Menu We do accountsso you don’t have to Meet the Founder Hi, I’m Rasa D’Alton and founder of Cloudit Bookkeeping. I’ve lived in England longer than I did in my home country, Lithuania. It’s been so long, I even count in English now! I’m married to Matt — my awesome husband and the reason I’m here. We have two kids, Will and Oliver, who keep us on our toes and up to date (mainly because they live on the internet!). This is our best attempt at recreating the “Entourage” (American TV series) photo. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the show ended in 2011… Time flies! I’ve experienced the best of both worlds growing up — the poverty-stricken Soviet era until I was 13, and the hopeful, future-building years of post-Soviet Lithuania. Talk about chalk and cheese. I learned how to be entrepreneurial during the Soviet era (yes, even though it wasn’t allowed!). As a family, we had very little, so we had to find ways to survive — growing our own food, making clothes, recycling everything, or simply going without. That’s where my love for a challenge began — figuring out how to make things work when it’s hard or when there doesn’t seem to be a clear way forward. I always knew I wanted to run my own business. My degree in Sociology didn’t lead me to a specific trade, but when I stumbled across the ICB (that’s The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers) website in the early 2000s, I knew I’d found the right path. Numbers were the answer. It meant I could help Matt with his business finances and relieve some of the cash flow stress by producing accurate reports. Seeing the struggles he faced firsthand made me realise that most small business owners are in the same boat. Some of our clients don’t have anyone to talk to about their business worries and that’s where I love to help the most: steadying the rollercoaster so the highs and lows aren’t quite so extreme. I love numbers, data, patterns, and the stories they tell. Percentages are my favourite — as most of our clients already know! But I’m not just all about numbers, efficiency, and military-style organisation… I love to let my hair down and have a laugh. I’m currently learning to ride a motorbike, so if you see someone wobbling at a junction on a sunny morning — that might be me getting to work (I’m a fair-weather rider only, I’m afraid!). I enjoy a good inspirational business book too, especially one where I can take away at least one idea to apply in my own business. I bake a good cake, go to the gym, and unwind in the sauna. I don’t watch the news unless there’s a budget announcement or something that affects our work. Most of it is just noise — and having grown up under propaganda, I’m happy to switch it off. So that’s me. What about you — what are you like, and what’s important to you? Let me know — I’d love to hear your story! Your business and it’s success matters to us Your business and it’s success matters to us. “Why?” you ask. Because: If you succeed – if you consistently imporve your profit margins, take dividend each year, and feel more relaxed about running your business – then we feel like we’re succeeding too. We can proudly say we’ve made a small difference by supporting you where it matters most: the money side. As a small business ourselves, we understand the same growing pains you face. Our primary focus is to support you on the financial side of your business — and that’s something we’re really good at (practice makes perfect, as they say). Your bottom line is our priority. Keeping you informed and helping you understand the performance of your business is our mission. Getting the compliance boxes ticked and taxes filed on time so you don’t have to worry – that’s a given. Here’s what one of our clients had to say: “Rasa and her team have been an important part of our success over the last few years. The advice and attention to detail provided by Cloudit have been second to none and I would highly recommend them to any business.” John Kimbell – Navigate Digital Ltd What we value Values matter.

So we created this blog post to help you understand everything you need to know before buying outsourced accounts department service. We want you to make the right choice. So this article is an unbiased look at our service, to make sure it’s right for you. What is the virtual accounts department? Virtual accounts department is your dedicated accounts team but without the risks and commitment of employing extra staff. Why we created the virtual accounts department service? We realise that most small businesses need more that just basic bookkeeping or VAT filing support. Busy business owners need to have someone experienced to pick up all the accounting tasks they don’t have time for, like chasing up overdue invoices or knowing which suppliers need paying. They need someone to go to when they have a question about their finances, when they want to take on new staff or start a big project. What is included in the virtual accounts department service? Bookkeeping: we reconcile your accounts, ensure all your costs are accounted for, and keep your books in clear and tidy order. Invoicing: we get to grips with your billing information, prepare and send customer invoices in good time. Credit Control: we keep in regular contact with your customers and chase up any late payers with a polite phone call. Payroll: we prepare and file your payroll information with HMRC, send out payslips and auto-enrolment letters to staff. You receive payroll reports for approval and reminders when to pay PAYE when due. Pay Runs: we prepare the payrun via our trusted payment app for you to approve and fund giving you control of who is paid and when, and saving you further time processing payments. Supplier Relationships: we communicate with your suppliers to ensure your business has good relationship with them. VAT returns: we review and prepare your VAT return in good time for filing with HMRC. Reserve Build: we advise you each month on how much to set aside for tax and VAT upcoming payments. Reporting: we provide you with monthly management report and catch up with you to go through it in detail. Budget: together we set budget for the coming year to keep you on track in hitting your goals. Budget Variance Report: we provide you with monthly report identifying where you are against the plan set out in your budget and highlight any areas which need your attention. KPI Tracking: we track and report back on what matters most to your business, e.g. staff capacity, project profitability, client profitability. Cash Flow Forecast: we prepare a cash flow forecast and keep it updated. What problems does virtual accounts department solve? It gives you back control over the finances Releases more time Increases your credibility with customers and suppliers Gives you clarity on your business finances and relieves stress Brings in expertise and regular support No need to employ an expense in-house team How much does virtual accounts department cost?

We provide expert support to our clients with the team of qualified and dedicated professionals which is affordable and saves money in the long run. Employing an in-house accounts team would set you off on average as follows: Accounts assistant/bookkeeper £30,000 Credit controller £25,000 Finance director £70,000 That’s £10,500 per month just on salary and not taking into account employer’s national insurance, pension, time off, equipment, refreshment costs and so on. Is there a refund/guarantee policy? We strive to deliver top quality service and dedicate our energy and time to make our client’s accounts departments organised and running like clockwork.

Record all your receipts and purchase invoices onto the software and tell you who needs paying and when. Get your bank account statements automatically updated into the software and reconciled to give you an up-to-date snapshot of your business. Process your staff pay and email the payslips directly to them. Submit returns to HMRC and give you regular updates on how your business is performing. Here are six benefits of why we think you should get your accounts into the cloud: Access your accounting data when you want it, where you want it, on any device – laptop, tablet or mobile phone. See your bank balances, invoices, bills and expenses at a glance – this gives you a clear picture of your finances. When statement lines from your bank account are fed directly into your accounting software you can see your cashflow in real-time. Invoice from your software the minute the job is done – all you need is internet connection. You are free to be mobile and not chained to your desk. You can work with us on the same data at the same time, there is no need to share a computer or exchange files. Cloud-based software comes with free updates, which means no need for installation or maintenance.
