Bookkeeping
Your books kept up to date every week, reconciled to the bank, with a one-page summary each month you can actually read.
From £30 a month What is included
Most accountancy problems start as bookkeeping problems. A year-end that takes three months, a VAT return that is out by a few hundred pounds, a tax bill that arrives as a surprise: each of these comes from books that were left until the end.
We keep yours current every week. The bank feed comes into the accounting software, we match each line to an invoice or a receipt, and anything we cannot explain goes on a short list for you. Once a month you get one page: profit so far, cash in the bank, what you owe and what you are owed.
Because the books are always up to date, the year-end accounts take days instead of weeks, and we can tell you your tax bill long before it is due.
Bookkeeping is priced by the size of the business, not by the number of transactions, so a busy month does not cost more.
Questions about bookkeeping
What do I need to send you?

I am behind. Can you catch up?
Up to three months of catch-up is included when you join. Beyond that we quote a fixed price before we start.

A named bookkeeper in our Norwich office. Nothing is sent overseas.
