Everything a finance department does, done for you
Most small businesses cannot afford a full-time accountant, a payroll clerk and a compliance officer. With BesTally you get all three for one fixed monthly fee. We work online every day, and come to your premises when the job needs us there.
Core monthly services
The work every business needs, every month. These make up our Starter, Growth and Executive plans.
Services for the moments that matter
A tender closing next week, a bank asking for statements, an audit coming up. Add these to any plan, quoted after a free assessment.
Cleanups and catch-up
Months or years of backlog brought up to date, priced per month of catch-up.
Best for: Before an audit, loan, sale or tender
Bank and loan-ready pack
Financial statements, cash flow projections and a business plan your bank will take seriously.
Best for: Overdrafts, asset finance, investors
Diaspora owner reporting
Monthly reports with receipts and a video call, so owners abroad can see where money goes.
Best for: Businesses run by family or managers
Fiscal device reconciliation
Your fiscal device records matched to the books every month, so VAT and sales agree.
Best for: Shops, wholesalers and restaurants
Company secretarial
Annual returns, director changes, share registers and minutes kept in order.
Best for: Private limited companies
HR admin
Employment contracts, leave records and NEC compliance, alongside your payroll.
Best for: Growing teams without an HR person
Stocktakes
Physical stock counts reconciled to the books, with losses and slow items flagged.
Best for: Retail, wholesale and pharmacies
Supplier payments
We prepare the payment batch and supporting documents. You approve and release it.
Best for: Owners who want control without admin
Business plans and grants
Business plans, feasibility studies and donor budgets with reporting built in.
Best for: New ventures, NGOs and projects
Software and spreadsheets, sorted
Messy software setups cause most bookkeeping problems. We implement, automate and train your team on the software you already run, so you get full use out of it, not just the basics.
BesTally is a bookkeeping firm, so custom integrations, code and system builds are not services we sell. They are handled by Aidoqo, a separate technology company owned by our founder. If we ever recommend Aidoqo, we tell you about the relationship in writing and give you at least one alternative.
