FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is handing over accounting services safe and confidential?
Yes. We use GDPR-compliant data handling, secure cloud access controls and formal confidentiality commitments.
Can you help micro and small companies with statutory accounts?
Yes, for micro-entities under FRS 105 and small companies under FRS 102 Section 1A, filed with Companies House and HMRC.
Do you file VAT returns and handle Making Tax Digital compliance?
Yes, through MTD-compliant systems, including advice on the most suitable VAT scheme.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions. Accounting uses that data to produce statutory accounts, tax returns and financial analysis.

How much does bookkeeping cost in the UK?
Pricing depends on transaction volume, complexity and the services required, so each client receives a tailored quote.
Can you help with overflow work if we get too busy?
Yes. Support can be short-term for a busy period or ongoing.
Do I still need my own accountant if I use your service?
Not necessarily. We can be your full accounting function or work alongside your existing accountant.
What software do you work with?
Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent. We can also recommend a platform for new setups.
How do I get started?
Start with a free consultation, then receive a tailored proposal and secure onboarding. Most clients are onboarded within two weeks.
