Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
Outsourced Accounting
JLM’s monthly bookkeeping services can be built to suit you and your company’s needs. Ensuring the figures are kept up to date helps you make the important business decisions at the right time.
The first tangible benefit of outsourcing your bookkeeping is all the valuable time that you and your staff will save by not wrestling with the task yourselves. In addition, using a professional bookkeeping service means that you will always have ready access to your financial data. This will be accurate and up-to-date, meaning you can focus on the bigger business picture.
Outsourcing also means you can match the right skill-set to the job, so that staff members aren’t doing accounting work on top of all their other duties. We have a professional team of experienced and skilled staff who you will be able to call on. And we all love what we do, bringing our passion and bookkeeping knowledge to the table. You won’t ever have to worry about staff issues such as absences, illnesses, recruitment or employment issues affecting your business. Putting your bookkeeping in the hands of contracted professionals means you can be secure in the knowledge that your accounts are being handled with care.

Financial Advisory
Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions is a very powerful strategy for growing businesses. After many years of doing mergers and acquisitions JLM have found out what works and what does not work.
We have clients where we find, acquire and merge business for them on a regular basis, but we also work with companies that have not done this before, and would like to use mergers and acquisitions as a way to grow their business faster and more profitable than they ever thought possible.
We create a win-win for all parties and once merged you have the benefits of streamlined costs, improved profitability and when it comes to an exit strategy, you can usually get higher multiples, due to the combined revenues of the businesses.
Forensic accounting
Forensic accounting is the specialty practice area of accounting that describes engagements that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation
At JLM our resolution team helps to quantify loss or financial exposure across a variety of industry sectors and jurisdictions. We support our clients and their legal advisers in all stages of the dispute process. Our team has considerable experience of providing evidence in UK civil courts, insolvency, international arbitration tribunals, criminal courts and regulatory investigations.
