Who it's for
Your business has grown, and the books no longer fit into evenings and weekends. But you don't want the cost, management and holiday cover that comes with an in-house bookkeeper.
We work with established small and medium sized businesses across London that need steady, ongoing support. Typically that means one or two days of bookkeeping a week, looked after by a team you can reach directly.
Many clients come to us after their bookkeeper or accountant became slow to respond or hard to get hold of. If you're waiting days for answers about your own numbers, we should talk.

FAQs
How many days of bookkeeping support will my business need?
It depends on how many transactions you have, how many suppliers and staff you pay, and how much reporting you want. Established businesses often need one or two days a week, while smaller ones may only need a few hours a month. We'll suggest a level after your free consultation and adjust it as your business changes.
Do I need to use Xero?
We use Xero for all of our clients, because it keeps your figures current and lets us work alongside you. If you use other software or spreadsheets at the moment, we'll move you onto Xero as part of getting started.
Can you take over from my current bookkeeper or accountant?
Yes. We handle the handover for you, including requesting your records and access from your current bookkeeper or accountant. We then check everything is up to date before we take over.
Do you work with businesses outside Southwark?
Yes. Our office is in Southwark, and we work with businesses across London. Most of the work happens in Xero, by phone, email and WhatsApp, so you don't need to be nearby.
What does outsourced bookkeeping cost?
It depends on the volume of work and how many days of support you need. Book a free call and we'll give you a tailored quote for your business.
How quickly can you get started?
As soon as we've agreed what you need and have access to your records. On the call, we'll give you a realistic start date based on the current state of your books.
