Your books done properly. Every month. Without the hassle.
Small business bookkeeping is what I do every day for sole traders, limited companies and tradespeople across Suffolk, starting from £25 a month.
If your records are behind, your VAT is looming or you are not sure whether your business is actually making money, you are in the right place. I have handled messier situations than yours, and I will not judge you for where you are starting from.
How much is disorganised bookkeeping costing your business?
Four honest questions. Takes under two minutes. Find out where the gaps are.
How would you describe the current state of your business records?
How do you currently handle your VAT or tax submissions?
How much time do you spend on bookkeeping tasks each month?
If someone asked you right now whether your business is profitable, what would you say?
Your books need attention before this becomes a bigger problem
Based on your answers, your records are likely behind and your compliance risk is growing. The longer this continues, the harder and more expensive it becomes to sort out. A free call with me takes 20 minutes and I can tell you exactly what needs doing, what order to do it in and what it will cost each month to keep it that way.
You are managing, but it is costing you time and confidence
You have some foundations in place but there are clear gaps in accuracy, consistency or compliance. That time you spend wrestling with spreadsheets late at night is time taken from your business and your life. A fixed monthly arrangement would give you that time back and remove the guesswork from your finances.
Your finances are in good shape, but there may be room to improve
Your bookkeeping habits are solid. If you are still handling it yourself, it is worth considering whether your time is better spent elsewhere in your business. A conversation with me costs nothing and might show you a simpler way to maintain what you have already built.
Services that cover your numbers from day to day to year end
Everything a small business owner needs to stay compliant, organised and in control of their finances.
Monthly and Quarterly Bookkeeping
I record every transaction, reconcile your accounts and keep your books current so you always know where you stand financially. You do not need to understand double-entry accounting to benefit from accurate books. You just need to know your business is on track.
Core ServiceVAT Returns and MTD Submissions
I prepare and file your VAT returns on time, every time, using Xero and fully compliant with Making Tax Digital requirements. From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax applies to sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000, meaning digital record-keeping and quarterly updates to HMRC become mandatory. I handle all of that so you do not have to.
HMRC CompliancePayroll, CIS and Self Assessment
Whether you employ staff, work under the Construction Industry Scheme or need your self-assessment tax return filed accurately and on time, I manage the process from start to finish. Every submission goes through me directly, with no handoffs to a junior or an offshore team.
Payroll and TaxWhy working with a dedicated bookkeeper is different
Not a portal. Not a firm that passes your file to whoever is available. A single person who knows your business.
You deal with me, every time
There is no team behind me. When you call, email or message, you get me. That means I know your business, your trading patterns and your questions without you having to explain them from scratch each time. For small business owners, that continuity makes a measurable difference to how quickly things get done.
Fixed monthly pricing with no surprises
Bookkeeping starts from £25 per month. You know the cost before you sign up and it does not change unless your business grows and the scope changes with it. Fixed pricing means you can budget for it properly and there are no invoices that make you wince.
MTD-compliant and Xero-based from day one
All bookkeeping is done through Xero, which means your records are digital, accessible and compliant with Making Tax Digital requirements. If you are not on Xero yet, I set it up and walk you through what you need to know. HMRC’s requirements are already handled before they become your problem.
