LEE CHAPMAN BOOKKEEPING SERVICES

Business Description

I established my small practice in October 2012. Having spent over 20 years working closely with small businesses in the Banking sector I felt the best way for me to continue to best serve local business was to help them practically with advice and production of up to date financial information. I had seen many businesses struggle due poor cashflow controls, lack of focus and the finances taking a back seat so decided to do something about it and go help save the business world one business at a time.
