Bookkeeping done badly costs more than bookkeeping done right. The catch-up at year end is always more expensive than getting it right monthly.
Messy books cost more than tidy ones
Spreadsheets in three formats. Receipts in a shoebox. A VAT return done from memory at 11pm the night before it's due. We've seen all of it.
The work to clean it up at year end costs more than doing it right monthly. The tax decisions you can't make without clean numbers cost most of all.
Want to talk it through? Fifteen minutes on the phone, no fee.

Transparent Pricing
Every client is different, so we don’t force businesses into one-size-fits-all packages.
We’ll discuss what support you need, agree the scope of work upfront, and provide a clear proposal before we start.
Many clients choose to spread the cost through monthly payments, helping them budget for their accountancy support throughout the year.

Common Questions
What if my books are a mess?
Most new clients come to us mid-mess. We'll quote a one-off catch-up fee separately and then start the monthly service from a clean baseline.
When do I need to register for VAT?
When your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period. There are reasons to register voluntarily before that, which we'll discuss if relevant.
What's Making Tax Digital?
HMRC's rule that VAT records must be kept digitally and returns submitted via software. Almost every VAT-registered business is in scope. Our service covers this fully.
How do I get receipts to you?
Mostly via Hubdoc, Dext, or your accounting software's built-in receipt capture. Photograph and forget. We do the rest.
