Who it helps

When the audit is coming and the books aren't ready.

Most audit stress comes from records that were never kept audit ready. These are the situations we help with most.

An audit goes faster when the numbers are reconciled and every balance has its evidence before fieldwork begins.

A first audit is coming up

A bank, investor, regulator or new shareholder has asked for audited accounts, and the books have never been through an audit.

Year-end close that drags

Reconciliations, schedules and supporting documents are pulled together under deadline pressure every year.

Auditor queries piling up

Requests for evidence take weeks because information sits across systems, folders and inboxes.

Controls that live in people's heads

Approvals, access and processes are not written down or followed consistently.

Services

Audit preparation and compliance support.

Practical preparation work, done in the format your auditor asks for.

Financial audit preparation

Books closed, reviewed and adjusted so the trial balance is ready before fieldwork starts.

Audit documentation & schedules

Lead schedules, account analyses and supporting schedules prepared in the format your auditor requests.

Bank & ledger reconciliation

Bank, card, intercompany and balance sheet accounts reconciled with clear supporting evidence.

Internal controls review

Approvals, access and segregation of duties reviewed, with practical improvements recommended.

Financial statement review & support

Draft financial statements checked against the ledger, with notes supported by workings.

Audit queries & supporting documents

Auditor requests tracked, answered and evidenced so queries close faster.

Compliance reporting assistance

Data and schedules prepared for regulatory or group reporting, for review by the responsible person or adviser.

Process documentation & SOPs

Finance processes written up as clear procedures your team can follow and your auditor can test.

Our role is preparation and support. Accountibles is not a licensed statutory audit firm and does not issue audit opinions. We work for you, preparing records and supporting your appointed external auditor, who remains independent.

How it works

From request list to a smoother audit.

A simple four-step approach, scoped around your auditor's timetable.

  1. Review

    We look at your records, your auditor's request list and the timetable, and agree the scope.

  2. Prepare

    We reconcile, adjust and build the schedules and supporting files.

  3. Support

    During fieldwork we answer queries and provide evidence, so your team can keep running the business.

  4. Improve

    We document processes and recommend control improvements for next year.
