Overwhelmed by
Accounting & bookkeeping tasks?

The short answer is no. I am a qualified bookkeeper. I provide essential bookkeeping and accounting support that prepares everything before an accountant gets involved.

I hold a Level 3 in Accounting and am a fully qualified Bookkeeper through the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT). (To become an accountant, a Level 4 qualification or higher is required.)

By handling the day-to-day bookkeeping, I can save you a significant portion of accountants’ fees. My services include:

• Processing purchase and sales invoices
• Accounts management
• Collating information for VAT returns
• Using accounting software such as SAGE or XERO
• Creating a variety of financial reports

…and much more.

I can also work closely with your accountant to ensure all financial objectives are met efficiently and accurately.

Bookkeepers handle the day-to-day “grunt work” of your accounts, leaving your accountant free to review and sign off. Outsourcing your bookkeeping is cost-effective and ensures your finances are organised before going to your accountant.

Outsourcing bookkeeping saves you time, reduces errors, and gives you peace of mind. Rather than juggling invoices, receipts, and spreadsheets, a professional bookkeeper ensures your accounts are accurate, organised, and ready for decisions or tax submissions, so you can focus on growing your business.

In many cases, yes. Bookkeepers typically focus on the day-to-day financial tasks like managing invoices, receipts, and reconciliations, which means you’re not paying an accountant to do routine work. By outsourcing bookkeeping, you can get accurate, timely financial management at a lower cost, while leaving your accountant to focus on high-level financial advice and tax planning.

Yes. I work with a variety of clients including sole traders, small businesses, freelancers, and busy family offices tailoring my bookkeeping services to an industry or specific need. 

I’m AAT Level 3 certified in Bookkeeping and Accounting, along with practical experience and a passion for helping small business owners to stay on top of their finances. I manage invoices, expenses, and reporting across a range of accounting software, keeping your records accurate.

My current rates typically range from £26.50 to £30.00 per hour, depending on the work required. Honestly, any work which involves bookkeeping is at the higher end of the scale depending on volume. All fees and any expenses are agreed in advance for complete transparency.

I usually charge hourly, though this can be adjusted depending on your specific needs or the type of project.

To keep contracts current and avoid renegotiation each year, my contracts include an annual price increase of 2%, effective on the first Monday after the start of the new tax year.

This ensures continuity while keeping any increase gradual and manageable.

Absolutely. If you’re new to HMRC’s Making Tax Digital, it can feel daunting. While there may be initial teething issues with their systems, I ensure your bookkeeping aligns with the requirements, helping your records are organised and ready for submission. This support reduces the risk of errors and makes the process smoother for you and your business.

All sensitive information is handled with discretion, in line with GDPR, and covered under the NDA element within our contract. For specific projects, I’m happy to put an additional NDA in place. Most accounting software is cloud-based and protected by robust IT security measures, ensuring your financial data remains safe and confidential.

Yes. I can act as a bridge between you and your accountant or financial advisor, ensuring your records are organised, accurate, and ready for tax submissions or financial planning. You remain in control of all financial decisions, but I help translate the numbers and streamline communication so nothing gets lost in translation.

I’m adaptable. Whether you use spreadsheets, Xero, SAGE, QuickBooks, or other software, I learn your processes and work within your existing systems to maintain consistency and accuracy.

Yes. I identify repetitive tasks, implement templates, and create efficient workflows so your bookkeeping becomes faster, simpler, and less prone to errors, freeing up your time to focus on your business.

Check-ins are flexible. Some clients prefer weekly updates, others monthly, depending on workload. I provide clear reporting and regular check-ins on whichever platform you prefer, to keep you informed and confident about your financial position.

Yes. All outsourced bookkeeping services I comply with GDPR regulations. Your sensitive financial and personal data is handled with the utmost care, stored securely, and only shared in line with any agreed confidentiality arrangements.

Yes, outsourced bookkeepers can prepare your financial records for tax submissions. I ensure your accounts, invoices, and receipts are accurately organised and up to date, making it easier for your accountant or tax advisor to complete filings. While I manage the preparation, your accountant still reviews and submits the taxes.

Hiring a professional bookkeeper brings accuracy, efficiency, and peace of mind. Your accounts are organised, up to date, and ready for tax submissions or financial decisions. You save time, reduce stress, and can focus on growing your business, knowing your finances are in safe hands.
