Tis Weeks Before Christmas

Tis weeks before Christmas,
And all across the land.
Many Accounts and Self-Assessments,
Are still not in hand.

Individuals are stressing,
As they don’t know their tax.
Unable to enjoy Christmas,
To sit down, and relax.

Company records, not gifts,
Sit under the Christmas tree.
Their directors run the risk,
Of a late filing fee.

Many traditional accountants and bookkeepers,
Are pushed to the limit.
Due to the volume of work,
Left to the last minute.

Individuals and businesses,
Call on the phone each day.
And as if on repeat,
We often hear them say.

“It’s like this every year,
It’s not unusual to me.”
But what would you say,
If we told you, “It need not be.”

Using technology to automate,
And get things done fast.
Submitting on the deadline,
Becomes a thing of the past.

We provide Xero for your bookkeeping,
And trying not to sound cheesy.
But it’s beautiful software,
That makes your bookkeeping easy.

It has a massive ecosystem,
With add-ons galore.
You’ll soon be asking yourself,
Why you hadn’t used it before.

We recommend using Dext or Hubdoc,
To automate your bills.
We know from experience,
The administrative time that it kills.

Others on our list,
Notable mentions if you will.
Include apps like GoCardless,
iZettle and The Good Till.

A bonus to cloud accounting,
Comes in 2024.
When MTD for income tax,
Lands at many a door.

This is quarterly reporting,
Over to HMRC.
Which will leave anyone unprepared,
All adrift, out at sea.

Make the change today,
Stand out from the crowd!
Get a cloud accounting package from us,
TidyCloud.

And finally,
So as to end this poem right,
Happy Christmas To All,
And To All A Good-night!
