What I offer

Bookkeeping that works as hard as you do.

From day-to-day transaction recording to VAT returns and payroll, I handle the numbers so you can focus on what you do best.

Stay on top of your finances, every month.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Accurate, up-to-date records are the foundation of a healthy business. Each month I reconcile your accounts, categorise every transaction, and send you a clear summary so you always know where your money is going — and where it's coming from.

What's included

  • Bank and credit card reconciliation
  • Transaction categorisation
  • Monthly profit & loss summary
  • Expense tracking and reporting
  • Cloud accounting software management

No more last-minute panic at quarter end.

VAT Returns

VAT can be one of the most stressful parts of running a business — but it doesn't have to be. I prepare your VAT return accurately, check everything is correct, and submit it to HMRC on time. I'm fully Making Tax Digital compliant, so you're covered for current and future requirements.

For any VAT-registered business that wants their returns handled accurately and submitted on time, every time.

What's included

  • Quarterly VAT return preparation
  • HMRC submission
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliance
  • VAT scheme advice (standard, flat rate, cash accounting)
  • Year-round VAT query support

Your team gets paid correctly, on time, every time.

Payroll

Running payroll is time-consuming and the rules change regularly. I take it off your plate completely — calculating wages, processing payslips, filing RTI submissions with HMRC, and keeping you compliant with pension auto-enrolment requirements.

For businesses with employees who want payroll handled accurately without the admin headache.

What's included

  • Monthly payroll processing
  • Payslip preparation and distribution
  • RTI submissions to HMRC
  • Pension auto-enrolment management
  • P60 and P45 preparation

Everything ready for your accountant — or for filing yourself.

Year-End Accounts Preparation

At year end, I pull everything together so your accounts are clean, complete, and ready to hand to your accountant or submit directly. No scrambling for receipts, no missing transactions — just a tidy set of books that makes year-end straightforward.

For any business that wants year-end to be calm and organised rather than a last-minute rush.

What's included

  • Full year-end bookkeeping review
  • Trial balance preparation
  • Accounts reconciliation
  • Liaison with your accountant
  • Self-assessment support for sole traders
