Who our bookkeeping services are for
Sole traders who want clarity and compliance
If you’re running your business on your own, bookkeeping can quickly become time-consuming and overwhelming. We help sole traders keep accurate records, stay compliant with HMRC, and understand what their numbers actually mean, without the stress of doing it all yourself.
Limited companies that need structured, reliable records
Trade and service-based businesses with regular transactions
If your business handles frequent payments, expenses, or materials, staying on top of bookkeeping can be challenging. Our service helps trades and service businesses maintain clean records, track cash flow, and avoid last-minute panics.
Business owners who want to save time and reduce stress
Frequently asked questions
What does a bookkeeping service include?
Our bookkeeping service covers recording income and expenses, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, organising receipts, and keeping your records accurate and up to date.
Do I still need bookkeeping if I use software?
Yes. Software is a tool, but it still needs to be used correctly. We make sure your bookkeeping software is set up properly, transactions are recorded accurately, and errors are spotted early — saving you time and preventing problems later on.
How often is bookkeeping updated?
This depends on your business and transaction levels. We agree a schedule that works for you, whether that’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly, so your records stay current and manageable.
Can you work with my existing accountant?
Some clients use us purely for bookkeeping, while others choose us to handle bookkeeping alongside VAT, payroll, and year-end accounts for a fully joined-up service.
Will I still have access to my financial information?
Absolutely. You’ll always have access to your records and reports, and we’re happy to explain the figures in plain English whenever you need clarity.
How do I send you my receipts and records?
We offer flexible options, including digital uploads and cloud-based systems, making it easy to share information in a way that suits how you work.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for Matt Lewis and Callum Williams' prompt and efficient work in preparing and submitting my dormant company accounts to HMRC. Especially when I thought that I had left it too late to get the return in on time and was budgeting to cover the cost of the late filing fine. The professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. I greatly appreciate how quickly you were able to manage my initial enquiry (especially where I was scrabbling to find paperwork and various important reference numbers) the submission, ensuring everything was completed well ahead of the deadline. It has provided me with much-needed peace of mind knowing this matter was handled so expertly.
