Your books handled properly. Every month. No stress.
Bookkeeper in Needham Market serving small businesses across mid-Suffolk with fixed monthly pricing, direct access and no handoffs.
If your records are behind, your VAT deadline is coming up or you just want someone reliable to take it off your plate, I can help. I work directly with every client, so you always know who is doing your books.
How much is your bookkeeping holding you back?
Four questions. Takes about 90 seconds. Find out where the gaps are.
How up to date are your financial records right now?
How do you currently handle VAT returns and HMRC submissions?
How clear is your picture of what your business is actually earning?
Are you currently using cloud accounting software like Xero?
Your books need attention now
Based on your answers, your records are likely behind, your HMRC exposure is unclear and the problem will not fix itself. Most people in this position feel a mix of guilt and quiet panic, but the situation is almost always more fixable than it feels. Book a free call and I will give you an honest assessment of what needs doing and what it will cost to sort it.
You have a base, but there are gaps worth fixing
Your setup is functional but you are carrying more financial risk and admin time than you need to. Getting your records clean, your software set up properly and your HMRC submissions handled reliably would free up time and reduce stress month to month. A free call is a good place to work out which gaps matter most.
Your foundations are solid
You are already in a good position with your bookkeeping. If you are looking for a dedicated bookkeeper to take the monthly workload off your hands entirely, I am happy to have a conversation about whether I am the right fit for your business.
What I handle for Needham Market businesses
Core services covering the financial admin that takes up your time and carries the most HMRC risk.
Monthly Bookkeeping
I keep your records accurate and up to date each month using Xero, so you always know where your business stands. You stop spending evenings on receipts and start having reliable figures to make decisions with.
From £25/monthVAT Returns and MTD Submissions
I prepare and file your VAT returns on time, every quarter, in line with Making Tax Digital requirements. You avoid late filing penalties and the last-minute scramble that comes with doing it yourself.
MTD compliantPayroll, CIS and Self Assessment
I handle payroll processing, CIS returns for construction businesses and self-assessment tax returns for sole traders and directors. Each submission is prepared accurately and filed before the deadline, so HMRC is never a source of stress.
Fully managedWhy working with a dedicated bookkeeper makes a practical difference
What you get when one person handles your books personally, compared to passing work through a firm.
You deal with the same person every time
There is no team, no handoffs and no explaining your business from scratch to a new face. I handle your books personally, which means I understand your accounts properly and you can pick up the phone and get a straight answer.
Fixed monthly pricing with no surprises
Pricing starts at £25 per month and is agreed upfront based on the work involved. You know what you are paying before you start, and that figure does not change unless your requirements do.
MTD compliance handled without you having to think about it
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax becomes mandatory for sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 from April 2026. As a Xero Expert who is already MTD compliant, I manage the digital records and quarterly submissions so you are covered without having to change how you work.
What clients say
How we get started
A straightforward four-step process from first conversation to books being handled.
Free call
We have a free 15-minute call where you tell me about your business, what you need and where things currently stand. I will ask a few straightforward questions and give you an honest view of what is involved.
Proposal and pricing
I send you a clear proposal covering exactly what I will handle and what it will cost each month. There are no hidden fees and no tie-in clauses to wade through.
Xero setup and onboarding
I set up or connect your Xero account, bring your records up to date and take on the monthly bookkeeping from an agreed start date. If your records are behind, I work through the backlog as part of getting you started.
Ongoing, hands-on support
From that point, I handle your books each month, file your VAT returns and deal with any HMRC submissions that fall due. You have direct access to me by phone or email whenever you need it.
