Limited company bookkeeping

Limited Company Bookkeeping

Your Limited Company Books, Handled Personally. No Surprises. No Jargon.

Limited company bookkeeping comes with real legal obligations, and I handle all of them for you personally, at a fixed monthly price you can see before you commit.

Whether you incorporated last month or have been running on spreadsheets for two years, I take over the books, sort out any backlog, and keep everything on track from there. You deal directly with me, every time.

How on top of your limited company books are you right now?

Four questions. Takes about 90 seconds. Find out where things actually stand.

How up to date are your transaction records right now?

Do you know when your next VAT return or corporation tax deadline is?

Are you using accounting software, or working from spreadsheets or paper records?

Have your personal and business finances ever been mixed together?

YOUR RESULT

Your books need attention before your next filing deadline

Based on your answers, there are gaps in your records that need sorting before they become a compliance problem. A free call with me takes 20 minutes, costs nothing, and gives you a clear picture of what needs doing and in what order.

YOUR RESULT

You have made a start, but the foundations need firming up

You are further along than many limited company directors I work with, but there are gaps that could cause you problems at year end or on a VAT deadline. A short call would help identify exactly where those gaps are.

YOUR RESULT

You are in a good position, and the right support will keep you there

Your books are in reasonable shape. Bringing in a dedicated bookkeeper at this stage means you stay compliant without the admin eating into your week, and someone is watching for issues before they escalate.

WHAT I DO

What I handle for your limited company

Everything your limited company is legally required to keep on top of, done for you at a fixed monthly price.

01

Monthly Bookkeeping

I record, categorise and reconcile every transaction in your limited company each month using Xero, so your records are always accurate and ready for any HMRC submission. You stop spending your evenings on receipts and start knowing exactly where your money is.

Core Compliance
02

VAT Returns

I prepare and submit your VAT returns digitally under Making Tax Digital requirements, so you never miss a quarterly deadline or face a penalty for a filing error. All you do is confirm the figures are correct before I submit.

MTD Compliant
03

Payroll Processing

If your limited company pays directors or employees, I run your payroll each pay period and handle all Real Time Information submissions to HMRC on your behalf. You get accurate payslips and the right figures for your accounts without managing it yourself.

WHY IT WORKS

Why working directly with one person makes a difference

What you get when you work with a sole-trader bookkeeper versus an anonymous firm with a rotating team.

You always speak to the person doing your books

There is no account manager between you and whoever is handling your finances. When you ring or email, you get me, because I am the only person involved. That means questions get answered accurately and quickly, without being passed around.

Fixed monthly pricing with no surprises

Pricing starts at £25 per month and you know the full cost before you sign anything. There are no hourly rates that clock up without warning, and no vague quotes that grow once you are committed.

Xero keeps everything in one place and accessible

I set up and manage your Xero account so your records are cloud-based, always current, and accessible from your phone or laptop. When your accountant needs figures at year end, everything is ready without a paper chase.

FROM CLIENTS I WORK WITH

What clients say

GETTING STARTED

How we get started

Four straightforward steps from your first call to fully sorted books.

01

Book a free call

We spend 20 minutes on a call where you tell me about your limited company, what you are currently doing with your books, and what you need help with. There is no obligation and no sales pressure.

02

I send you a fixed quote

Based on the call, I send you a clear monthly price that covers everything we agreed. You know the full cost upfront before deciding anything.

03

I sort out the backlog

If your records are behind, I work through the backlog and get everything reconciled and accurate. Many clients come to me with months of unprocessed transactions, and sorting that is a normal part of getting started.

04

I keep your books on track every month

From that point I handle your monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and any other agreed services. You get a direct line to me and know your compliance is being handled.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions I get asked a lot

No. Most limited company directors I start working with have gaps in their records, unreconciled transactions, or months of backlog. Sorting that out is part of what I do. Come as you are.
Monthly bookkeeping starts at £25 per month. The exact price depends on your transaction volume and what services you need. I give you a fixed monthly quote after a free call, so you know the full cost before committing to anything.
I handle the bookkeeping, VAT returns, and payroll. What I need from you is access to your bank statements and receipts, which you can share through Xero or by email. Once the system is set up, the amount of time you spend on this becomes very small.
Yes. HMRC and Companies House are closing their joint filing service in April 2026, which means your company tax return and annual accounts will need to be submitted to each organisation separately. I keep up with changes like this so you do not have to, and I make sure your filings go to the right place on time.
