How will "More" help you? (See client testimonials at the bottom of this page)

There are four key benefits the software: Time savings - You will spend up to 70% less time doing your bookkeeping because our software does all the hard work for you. For example, our software does all the adding up and you only need to enter a standing order or direct debit once because the system has a reoccurring data-entry feature. The headline figure of £2,000 is based on findings that this is the value of the average time wasted by doing the bookkeeping inefficiently. Financial control - You will have more financial control. You will know what’s in your bank before the bank statement arrives and you can see your VAT bill building up. Management information - Using the reports you will be able to see where money has come from and where it has gone. You will also be able to see how much profit you have made. Using these reports we can produce tax forecasts for you so you will know what tax bills you have coming up. This also helps us spot tax saving opportunities earlier so we can save you even more money. Protection from tax investigations - The tax office and VAT office are now one agency and investigations can be started for any reason. Your only defence is good quality bookkeeping and if you use our software your bookkeeping will be very good. Now, if the tax man can’t “break” your records then we can ask for the investigation to be closed.

Videos make it easy to use

Yes, "More" software has videos on every screen which show you what to do at every step. The screens look like a book or a spreadsheet, so whatever system you are using now when you take one look at "More" you'll feel you know what to do straight away.

We set everything up for you

One of the hardest things to do with software is setting it up, that's why we do this for you. It doesn't matter if you are VAT registered or not we will set it up exactly how you want it. We will put the columns in the order you want and can even switch off the functionality you don't want to use. For example, you may want us to complete your VAT returns for you.

We look after your data

As part of our support programme you can send us your bookkeeping data every time you complete your books. This means that if anything happens to your computer your bookkeeping will be safe.

Training is free and only takes an hour

Our training business with video guidance makes sure you get up and running as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

If it is so good why is it free?

There are three reasons why we give "More" away for free*:

• The software integrates with our back office systems and saves us time as well as you.
• Part of the deal is that you keep your books up to date and send the information to us quickly after the year-end. This helps us with our workflow.
• We pay for "More" from our marketing budget because it allows us to add value to our service so we have more to offer than our competitors. We also hope users will tell their friends, colleagues and business associates so we win more clients.

* The software, with all its functionality, video tutorials, facility for online backup, management information, set up, is completely free. However, we do make an annual charge for support and online back-up. This modest annual charge is only £1 per week for non-VAT registered businesses and £2 per week for VAT registered businesses – payable annually in advance. However, this is more than offset by the value of the added services we can deliver each year – made possible by the efficiencies generated by using “More”. And these are the valuable, higher level services you want, such as business planning and tax planning.

Consider these 3 Examples....

Example 1 – Money saving – Doing your own bookkeeping Dave has been doing his own bookkeeping for many years using spreadsheets. He makes the occasional mistake which takes time for his accountant to sort out each year. The columns he uses aren’t quite what his accountant would like to see, but everybody makes do. He is given a demo of More Bookkeeping Software and immediately decides to use it …for 11 reasons. With More he can: Save time Enjoy instant financial control Get valuable management information Protect himself from tax investigations Have everything set up for him Get Step by Step video training Have easy to use software Have built-in help videos Use online back-up that will keep his data safe Get free software and training (notional annual charge for Online Backup and Support) Immediately save money, because….. Dave currently spends 3 hours per week on his bookkeeping = 156 hours per year. He considers that his time is worth £40 (he believes this is conservative – ie less than a garage mechanic!) The value of his time doing the bookkeeping is £6,240 (156 x £40) Looking at how More works, he estimates he will achieve a time saving of 60% Therefore, his estimate of the value of the time More will save him is £3,744. Dave feels good about this. The benefits of using More listed above as 1-10 give him Peace of Mind. And he has freed up some of his time.	Southampton
Example 2 – Money saving – Let us do the bookkeeping for you in our office A year later, Dave’s small business is expanding. The importance of his time spent directing and managing the business means that his time is now worth £70 per hour. He is spending approximately 100 hours per annum on his bookkeeping so he will make a saving of £7,000 if he arranges for us to take over. He also estimates that the effect of his additional 100 hours spend working on the business will be to increase profits by £20,000 per annum, giving a total saving of £27,000 if he stops doing the books. We take over the bookkeeping for £195 per month (example). Dave saves over £2,000 per month as a result of this decision. Dave feels good about this. He has Peace of Mind because his bookkeeping is kept up to date professionally at a cost-effective price. And he has been given more freedom which he decides to use by working on his business and increasing its profitability and capital value.	Southampton
Example 3 – Non-financial considerations Graham has been running his small business for several years. His wife Jill has always done the books. This arrangement came about without a full discussion. Because Jill had some previous bookkeeping experience she drifted into the role of bookkeeper for the family business. They use one of the well know accounting software packages because Jill had once been in an office were this was used. Jill doesn’t use the full power of the accounting software because she doesn’t have any experience of how to deal with accruals, prepayments, depreciation and so on. Each year the accountants give her two or three pages of journals which she tries her best to post into the trial balance. Each year the accountants talk about the opening balance sheet not agreeing with the signed accounts and how much time it takes them to sort this out. Graham doesn’t get involved in any of this. On the rare occasions he and Jill speak about it they both lose their tempers. Jill and Graham are given a demonstration of More. Jill immediately sees how much simpler this is to use than their current software. Because More is Bookkeeping Software (and not Accounting Software) it is the perfect means for her to do the bookkeeping, balance the bank and do the VAT Return. The bookkeeping data is automatically sent over the internet to the accountants’ office and they prepare the accounts. No more journals for Jill to worry about. And the Reports that are available on More make perfect sense to Graham who had never understood the figures produced by their previous accounting software. Graham and Jill no longer argue about the bookkeeping, and Jill even looks forward to doing it!	Gosport
