Accounts that do not add up
Records need reconstructing, balances cannot be supported, or company accounts need preparing from incomplete information.

Accounting referrals and affiliates
Introduce a business that needs accounting support, or talk to Andrew about an ongoing referral arrangement.
Make an introduction
Check that the business owner is happy to be introduced, then email me with a brief outline of the accounting help they need.
Copy them into the message if they have agreed, or send them this page so they can contact me directly. Keep the first message brief; please do not attach financial records or identification documents.
Prepare an introduction emailOr write to andrew@ingoodorder.co.uk.
Discuss an affiliate arrangement
If you advise business owners or publish content for people who need accounting help, tell me who you work with and how you would make introductions.
Commission and payment terms are discussed individually. If we agree a paid arrangement, we will record its terms in writing before referrals begin.
Paid promotional content must be clearly identified as advertising. We will agree how the services are described before you promote them.
Prepare an affiliate enquiry ASA guidance on affiliate advertisingWhen an introduction is useful
You do not need to diagnose the problem. A short explanation of what is going wrong gives me a place to start.
Regular accounting work falling behind
A business needs someone to take responsibility for recurring work, from reconciliations through to the monthly close.
Bookkeeping and reconciliationReports that leave questions unanswered
The owner needs management accounts that explain performance and connect the results to cash and outstanding commitments.

Information is re-entered, records do not agree, or the handover between people and systems keeps breaking down.
Finance systems and process improvementWork directly with Andrew
I’m Andrew, founder of In Good Order. I prepare company accounts and take on the investigations needed when records cannot support the figures. I also manage ongoing accounting work within an agreed scope.
The business owner and I discuss what needs doing before I quote. Detailed investigations and recurring work are scoped separately from the free initial conversation.

Questions about referrals
Can I refer someone without becoming an affiliate?
Yes. An occasional introduction does not need an ongoing affiliate arrangement. Check that the person is happy for you to introduce them, or give them Andrew’s contact details so they can get in touch themselves.
Is there a fixed referral commission?
Commission rates and payment terms are discussed individually. Any paid arrangement needs to be agreed in writing before referrals begin, including which work qualifies and when commission is payable.
Can you work alongside an existing accountant?
Yes. Andrew can take on a defined accounting problem or recurring responsibility alongside an existing accountant. The scope sets out who does the work and what information needs to be handed over.
Will I have access to the client’s accounts?
An introduction does not authorise access to the client’s accounts or correspondence. Any involvement by a referrer needs to be agreed with the client. Financial records are not needed just to make an introduction.
What happens after I make an introduction?
Andrew has an initial conversation with the business owner about the accounting work they need. That conversation is free. If the work is a fit, he explains what information is needed to assess the scope and prepare a quote.
