Why do I need a bookkeeper?

Many small organisations can benefit from the services of a bookkeeper. From regular visits to keep accounts and payroll in order through to simply completing self-assessments correctly and on time. It is often more cost effective to use a bookkeeper regularly than to have an internal part-time accounts person. There are less overheads and regular bookkeeping can reduce the amount work Accountants will need to do for year end.

Can’t I do this myself?

Of course, take self-assessment as an example. It is the individuals responsibility to complete this, however, over one third of these are filed incorrectly. There are many aspects of legislation in finance and it is important that they are all followed to avoid financial penalties or worse. By employing a bookkeeper you can help mitigate this risk.

How much do you charge?

We don’t have a fixed rate. However, we charge by the hour with prices ranging from £20 – £30 per hour depending on the level of work required and the timeframes. We will tailor our service to provide the highest level of work across all budgets.
