No-one ever went into business - of any kind - so that they could do more bookkeeping and chase VAT receipts. Regardless of where your business is - Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife or the Outer Hebrides - or what you do, you didn't set up to indulge a passion for paperwork. No-one ever said the best part of setting up a band or touring was sorting out the paperwork and invoices.
No-one ever started to expand a business and hire more people thinking "brilliant, now I can spend more time on payroll issues". Regardless of what type of business or industry you are in, you need to do reports and accounts, you need to make sure payrolls process and so much more. If you're doing those things it's taking you away from the parts of the job that you enjoy, the parts that made you decide to do what you're doing.

Normally, people are inspired by a song or musician into finding their true calling in life. For me, it was a little bit different. During maternity leave from Morgan Stanley, I was out walking my dog and would regularly bump into Sarah from Belle and Sebastian. We would talk about loads of stuff and one day she was talking about how much paperwork, book keeping and accounting were getting in the road of the actual creative process.
It can be a bit of a minefield when dealing with invoices/accounts etc but we are in a fortunate position that we don't need to worry about these issues as it's all taken care of! Laura is very knowledgeable and professional. We couldn't be without her services. Laura supports our business in producing monthly management accounts, annual accounts and ad hoc finance requirements.

I have used Sound Bookkeeping Services for a number of years now and appreciate Laura's strong work ethic and down to earth approach in meeting deadlines and taking the pressure off the client to remember what needs to be done and when! Bookkeeping is such a fundamental requirement to the success of any business and I would strongly recommend Sound Bookkeeping.

I work with the band Belle and Sebastian in Glasgow and would highly recommend Sound Bookkeeping for anyone dealing with the finances of musicians or any touring artist for that matter. They have helped us massively by introducing a super user friendly digital bookkeeping system across several bank accounts which deal in multiple currencies - this was no mean feat!
