My approach to bookkeeping
Bookkeeping that helps you run your business
Bank feeds and apps now do most of the typing. What matters is having someone check your figures every month and explain what they mean for you.
About monthly bookkeepingYour books stay up to date
Transactions come in automatically from your bank and receipt apps. I check and reconcile them, so your figures are always accurate.
I look at what has changed
I compare your sales, costs, margins and cash with last month and last year, so trends and problems show up early.
You get a clear summary
Informative analysis of how the business is doing, what needs your attention and what's coming up. If you want to talk it through, we'll arrange a call.

Questions
Common questions
Can you work with my accountant?
Yes. I work alongside your accountant and hand over clean, reconciled records at year end. If you don't have one yet, I can introduce you to one.
Which software do you use?
I'm a Xero Certified Specialist and also work in QuickBooks and FreeAgent, along with apps such as Dext, Hubdoc, ApprovalMax and Apron.
How do I get my paperwork to you?
Mostly it happens automatically. Bank feeds bring in transactions and you snap receipts with an app. Anything else can be shared through a secure online folder.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within two weeks of agreeing a quote. Catch-up work starts once I've reviewed your records.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Every system I use has two-factor authentication, files are stored encrypted, and I follow UK GDPR. Accountancy firms get a data processing agreement as standard.
