    I am a QBE accountant with 15 years of experience and a BA(Hons) degree in the field. Having previously being employed in both small business and multinational companies, I took the decision to go self employed in 2007.

    I undertake all kinds of work from general bookkeeping (run-of-the-mill) to final accounts work, self-assessment works and Corporation Tax work.

    In addition to bookkeeping, I am a competent computer user and can not only type into a word template but create an Excel spreadsheet that will make a cup of tea. Okay, maybe not quite! I love a challenge and am more than eager to try something new and get something right.

    A brief list of what I do is as follows but, please check out the experience section for full details.

    Accountancy/ Bookkeeping works:
    - Annual Accounts Preparation & Submission to Companies House
    - Corporation Tax, Personal Income Tax, Partnership Tax preparation & submission to HMRC
    - VAT Calculation & Submission to HMRC including attendance at HMRC inspections
    - PAYE/ NIC/ CIS Calculations, Reporting, Filing and Annual Returns to HMRC including attendance at HMRC inspections
    - Legal/ Statistical Returns to ONS etc...
    - Submissions, communications and attendances relating to annual audits
    - Fixed Asset accounting including capital allowances claims, depreciation and Fixed Asset Policies
    - Bank Reconciliations for multiple accounts, credit cards, cash accounts and loans
    - Supplier/ Customer accounting, reconciliations, payments and chase procedures
    - Bank receipts and payments
    - Nominal account and control account balancing and reconciliations
    - Charity-specific bookkeeping in line with the relevant charities SORP including correct presentation in accounts
    - Property-specific accounting regarding Wear & Tear and capital gains calculations
    - Project Accounting - including allocation of costs and income to projects for full project appraisals
    - General Housekeeping

    Other duties are:
    - Job costing for construction including estimates and profit reconciliation (includes pricing from plan)
    - Marketing to include websites, portfolio preparation, mailing and flyer works
    - Attendance and preparation for sales presentations across a range of industries
    - Health & Safety; policy, risk assessments and implementation in the building, hospitality and transport segments

    I hope to hear from you soon!

    Kind regards

    David Keighley

    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: Overall, my experience is hugely varied and is adaptable to all other businesses/ scenarios. I have a strong bookkeeping and accountancy background which spans over 13 years. However (and I believe) more importantly, I have an excellent grounding in all matters pertaining to businesses as a whole. I am a strong believer in the fact that knowledge (be it accountancy or otherwise) is only as good as the application of that knowledge. I can apply, have applied and will continue to apply my knowledge to the benefit of the business I represent or am directly employed by. Good knowledge is key, the application thereof is getting the right key in the right lock!

    Education
    -----------------

    Summary: Following on from success at academia in primary and secondary education, I took a degree in accountancy and finance at Leeds Metropolitan University and obtained a 2:2 honours degree. Whilst my education appears to have ended at that, I have continued through professional development to improve my understanding and am now in the process of taking the AAT exams (albeit mainly to obtain the paperwork to prove what I can already do).

    I am a firm believer in learning through doing and have hence had 13 years as an accountant/ bookkeeper. I feel my qualification by proven vocational experience is highly superior to any further "qualification" I can achieve through study.
