Focus on your clients. Understand your figures. Get support in English.
Your time is valuable. When you run a consultancy, agency or professional service business, bookkeeping should help you understand what you have earned, what clients owe and what your business spends.
Asticrest provides bookkeeping from Limassol for Cyprus registered companies and businesses based in Cyprus. Our native English-speaking staff help business owners who prefer to discuss their records, questions and next steps in English.
For businesses built on expertise
We support independent consultants and small service teams, including management consultants, marketing agencies, designers, engineers and other professional service businesses. Whether you charge by project, by the hour or through a monthly retainer, we agree a records process that fits your work.
Keep invoices, expenses and payments organised
- Record client invoices, credit notes and receipts.
- Reconcile bank accounts and match client payments to your records.
- Organise contractor invoices, software subscriptions, office costs and business travel receipts.
- Keep supporting documents for reimbursed expenses and project costs.
- Identify missing information and help you maintain a clearer record of outstanding invoices.
Good records make it easier to discuss late payments, monitor costs and prepare for your next filing. Where agreed, we can provide reports to help you review income, expenses and amounts owed by clients.
Practical support as your team grows
Alongside bookkeeping, we can agree support with VAT registration, returns and VIES, payroll and provisional tax calculations. Ask about monthly management accounts if you want a regular view of your figures.
If your clients are outside Cyprus, tell us where they are based, whether they are businesses or consumers and what services you provide. We will discuss the information needed to establish the appropriate VAT support.
What we need from you
- Sales invoices, credit notes and details of payments received.
- Purchase invoices and receipts for business expenses.
- Bank and payment-provider statements.
- Details of contractor costs and any client expense reimbursements.
- Staff details and payroll changes, if payroll is included.
We explain how and when to send your records, and flag questions in English. You can focus on running your business with a clear understanding of what we need from you.
Common record problems in service businesses
- Retainers, deposits and final invoices can be confused: label each payment and provide the agreement or invoice it relates to.
- Reimbursed client expenses can become mixed with your own costs: identify the client, project and reimbursement separately.
- Subcontractor bills can arrive after a project is finished: supply the work period and project reference so timing differences can be reviewed.
- Personal and business spending can share an account: mark owner payments and drawings rather than leaving unexplained bank entries.
Monthly reports for a clearer view of your work
Where agreed, review a monthly profit and loss report, aged customer balances, supplier balances and cash position. If you consistently label invoices and costs by project, we can agree a project income and direct-cost report. A useful project margin report also needs complete contractor costs and any agreed staff-time allocation.
Questions to ask each month
Which invoices are overdue? Have completed milestones been invoiced? Are contractor costs recorded for the same work period? Do upcoming payroll and supplier payments fit the available cash?
Explore the micro-business package from €85/month + VAT, with transaction limits and any additional services agreed before starting.
Starting, switching or getting back on track?
Use our starting a business bookkeeping checklist to prepare your records from the beginning. If you want a new provider, read about switching to Asticrest. If invoices and receipts have built up, our catch-up service can help bring the records up to date.
Common questions
Can you support a one-person consultancy?
Yes. We agree the scope around your business activity, transaction volume and filing needs, whether you work alone or employ a small team.
Can we send records digitally?
Yes. We agree a practical way to send digital records and communicate with our Limassol team.
Are all services included in one fee?
We agree the services and fees before work starts. Transaction volume, accounts, currencies, staff numbers and any catch-up work affect the scope. Annual accounts, audit and specialist advice are discussed separately where needed.
Make your next step straightforward
Tell us what your business does, how you invoice clients, approximately how many transactions you have each month and whether you employ staff. We will discuss the support you need in English.
