A Sudbury bookkeeper who handles your numbers so you can handle your business

Bookkeeper in Sudbury and across Suffolk, I take on the books, VAT returns, payroll and Xero management for small business owners who have better things to do than wrestle with HMRC.

Is your bookkeeping costing you more than you think?

Four honest questions. Under two minutes. Find out where your books actually stand.

How are you currently managing your business records?

How confident are you that your last VAT return was correct?

When did you last know exactly how much profit your business made?

What happens when HMRC sends you a deadline reminder?

YOUR RESULT

Your books need attention before they become a problem

Based on your answers, your records are behind and the risk of HMRC penalties or missed claims is real. The good news is that this is fixable. A free call with me costs nothing and takes fifteen minutes. We can talk through where things stand without any pressure.

YOUR RESULT

You have made a start, but there are gaps that need closing

Your finances are not a disaster, but inconsistent records mean you are likely missing out on legitimate expense claims and spending too long on admin you should not be touching. A monthly bookkeeping arrangement would free up your time and give you accurate figures to work from.

YOUR RESULT

Your foundations are solid. Let us make sure they stay that way.

You are already on top of your books, which puts you ahead of most small business owners. If you want to hand over the routine admin to someone who will keep things accurate and handle your VAT and payroll submissions, I can take that off your plate entirely.

WHAT I DO

Services that cover every part of your books

Everything is handled personally by me, with no handoffs and no surprises on the bill.

01

Monthly Bookkeeping

I keep your records accurate and up to date every month so you always know where your business stands financially. You stop spending evenings on spreadsheets and start making decisions based on real numbers.

From £25/month
02

VAT Returns and MTD Submissions

I prepare and file your VAT returns on time and in full compliance with Making Tax Digital requirements, which became mandatory from April 2026. You never have to worry about a missed deadline or an incorrect submission.

MTD Compliant
03

Payroll, CIS and Self Assessment

I handle payroll processing, CIS returns for subcontractors in the construction industry, and self assessment tax returns for sole traders and directors. Every submission goes out on time so you stay compliant without lifting a finger.

All handled personally
WHY IT WORKS

Why working directly with me makes a difference

There is no team, no portal and no one passing your work down the line.

You always speak to the person doing your books

Every client works directly with me. When you ring or message, you get me, not an account manager reading notes off a screen. That saves you time and means nothing gets lost between people.

Fixed monthly pricing with no surprises

Pricing starts from £25 per month and is agreed upfront. You always know what your bookkeeping costs and there are no additional charges for emails or quick questions during the month.

Xero managed for you, not handed back to you

I set up and manage your Xero account so your records are always current and accessible from anywhere. You get the benefit of cloud accounting without having to learn the software yourself.

GETTING STARTED

How we get started

Four straightforward steps from your first conversation to your books being fully managed.

01

Book a free call

We talk through your business, what you need and how your books currently look. There is no obligation and no sales pressure. I just want to understand your situation before recommending anything.

02

Agree a fixed monthly price

Once I know what is involved, I give you a clear monthly price. You know exactly what you are paying before anything starts.

03

I get your records in order

I set up or take over your Xero account, bring your records up to date and let you know if anything needs attention. If there is a backlog, I sort it without making you feel bad about it.

04

Your books run in the background

From that point on, I handle your monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and any other agreed services. You get on with running your business and I deal with HMRC.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

I take on clients across Suffolk including Sudbury and the surrounding towns. I am based in Kesgrave, Ipswich, and work with small businesses remotely using Xero and cloud accounting. Most of my client work is done online, which means geography does not limit what I can do for you.
No. Most clients come to me after a period of doing things themselves, and that often means there is a backlog to clear. That is a normal starting point and I will not make you feel embarrassed about it. We work through it together at an agreed pace.
Fixed monthly pricing starts from £25 and is agreed in advance based on the volume and complexity of your records. There are no additional charges for questions during the month and the price does not change without a conversation first.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax requires businesses above the income threshold to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC from April 2026. I am fully MTD compliant and handle all of this for my clients through Xero, so if it applies to you, it is already covered.
