Is your bookkeeping working for your business?

Four questions. Takes under two minutes. See where you actually stand.

How are you currently keeping track of your income and expenses?

How confident are you that your VAT returns are accurate and submitted on time?

How much time do you spend each week on your finances?

How prepared are you for Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements?

YOUR RESULT

Your finances need attention now

Based on your answers, your current setup is leaving your business exposed. Disorganised records, missed deadlines and manual processes cost time and money you cannot afford to lose. A fixed monthly bookkeeping service with a dedicated person handling everything would take this off your plate completely.

YOUR RESULT

You are managing, but it is costing you time

You have something in place, but it is clear that finance admin is eating into time you would rather spend on your business. With a bookkeeper handling the monthly work, you get accurate records, on-time submissions and hours back every week.

YOUR RESULT

Your books are in reasonable shape

You are ahead of most small business owners. The question now is whether your current setup can keep pace as your business grows. A conversation about Xero, MTD compliance and monthly bookkeeping support might be worth having sooner rather than later.

WHY IT WORKS

Why working directly with one person makes a difference

What you get that a larger firm or a generic online service will not give you.

You speak to the same person every time

There is no team behind me. When you call, you get me. When you email, I reply. You are never passed between departments or left wondering who is actually managing your account.

Fixed monthly pricing with no surprises

Pricing starts from £25 per month and is agreed upfront. You know exactly what you are paying and what is included. There are no invoices arriving with unexpected extras.

Xero set up and managed for you

I am a Xero expert and I set it up, train you if needed, and manage it on your behalf. You get a clean, accurate picture of your business finances without spending hours learning new software.

What clients say about working with me

GETTING STARTED

How we get started

From first call to books in order, here is what to expect.

01

Book a free call

We spend 20 minutes on the phone talking through your business, your current setup and what you actually need. No pressure and no obligation. You can ask anything.

02

Agree a fixed monthly package

Once I understand your situation, I give you a clear, fixed monthly price based on your volume of work. No ambiguous quotes and no hidden conditions.

03

Xero setup and data transfer

I set up or take over your Xero account, pull in your historical data and get everything organised. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week.

04

Ongoing monthly bookkeeping

From that point, I take care of everything on a monthly basis, including VAT returns, payroll and any other services we have agreed. You stay in the loop without the admin.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

I work with small businesses across Suffolk and Hadleigh is an area I actively cover. I am based in Kesgrave, Ipswich, which is within easy reach, and I work with clients both in person and remotely through Xero. If you want to meet face to face at some point, that is fine.
Yes, absolutely. Most clients I work with have not kept on top of their books before they contact me. Some arrive with carrier bags of receipts and months of missing data. I have seen it all before and there is no judgment involved. We will sort it out together.
Monthly bookkeeping starts from £25 per month. The exact price depends on the volume of transactions and which services you need. I give you a clear fixed monthly figure before we start, so you know exactly what you are paying with no hidden extras.
You contact me directly by phone or email and I get back to you. There is no account manager in the middle, no ticketing system and no waiting for someone else to relay a message. You deal with me personally throughout.
