How we work

We work with care businesses across the UK by phone, video and shared files, with your books in Xero. Each client has a named team that does the bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, accounts and tax, and the same people answer your questions.

Fees are fixed and monthly, and agreed before we start. Business Pulse clients also meet Peter Allen each month or each quarter to go through the figures and decide what to do next.

The rules we work to

Care providers in England answer to CQC, and its registration rules include a duty to keep the service financially viable. Nurseries answer to Ofsted and to the funding rules their council applies. Payroll in care turns on which hours count for the minimum wage.

Sponsored overseas staff bring Home Office reporting duties, and the sponsor licence depends on the service staying registered with CQC.
