What we do

Outsourced Bookkeeping That Works For You

Transaction posting, reconciliations, VAT filing, payroll, management accounts, and expense tracking. We work with whatever software you’re already using — and if you’re still on paper receipts, we don’t judge.

Common questions

Straightforward Answers

What does bookkeeping include?

Transaction posting and reconciling, invoice management, expense tracking, and VAT filing. Many clients also need management accounts, payroll, and additional support — we can discuss what’s right for your business.

Can you help with Making Tax Digital?

Yes. We can prepare your information ready for filing, or file on your behalf — with your accountant handling the final year-end submission.

How much does bookkeeping cost in Cambridge?

£45 per hour.

Do I still need an accountant?

Yes. We don’t prepare or file year-end accounts and tax returns. We can refer you to our sister Chartered Accountants firm, or work alongside your existing accountant.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured for the work we provide. Please note we do not provide tax advice — that sits with your accountant.

Can services be provided remotely?

Yes. Modern bookkeeping software and digital record keeping (together with Zoom and MS Teams) make it possible to provide bookkeeping remotely. We don’t tend to work with paper receipts very often these days.
