What is outsourced bookkeeping?
Outsourced bookkeeping means having an experienced bookkeeping team, with one dedicated point of contact, managing your financial records without the cost of employing an in-house bookkeeper. We handle bookkeeping, reconciliations, VAT records, reporting and payroll support.
How much does bookkeeping cost for a small business in the UK?
Costs vary depending on transaction volume, payroll, reporting needs and complexity. Our packages typically range from £350 to £1,500+ per month, tailored after a discovery call.
Can you work with our existing accounting software?
Yes. We review your current setup and, where possible, continue using your existing software while improving the process around it.
Do you support Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent?
Yes. We regularly work with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage Cloud and FreeAgent, plus tools such as Dext, Pleo, Float, Wise, Stripe, PayPal and Shopify.
What is included in monthly bookkeeping support?
Depending on your package, this can include bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, receipt capture, VAT preparation, payroll, management reporting, cashflow support and review meetings. Each client also has one dedicated point of contact.
Can you help if our bookkeeping is behind?
Yes. We assess the position, agree a catch-up plan and bring the records up to date before moving into a regular bookkeeping cycle.
Do you handle VAT returns and MTD compliance?
Yes. We prepare VAT-ready records, review VAT transactions and support the submission process through MTD-compliant software.
Can you process payroll as well as bookkeeping?
Yes. We support payroll, including payslips, pension submissions, starters, leavers, statutory payments, leave tracking and year-end payroll requirements.
Will we receive monthly management reports?
Yes. Most clients receive monthly reports including profit and loss, balance sheet and key financial information. Higher packages can include cashflow forecasts, KPI reporting and review meetings.
How long does onboarding take?
Most onboarding projects are completed within 7 days. More complex projects may take longer depending on the condition of the records, software setup and project requirements.
