Frequently asked questions
Xero or QuickBooks — which is better?
Both are excellent. Xero tends to suit service businesses and property investors. QuickBooks works well for trades and retail. We advise on the right choice for your situation and set it up properly.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
It depends on transaction volume. We agree a fixed monthly fee before starting — typically from £150/month for a small business. Call us for a quote.
My books are a mess — can you sort them out?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is something we do regularly. We get you up to date, then move to a regular monthly service.
Do I still need an accountant if I have bookkeeping?
Yes — bookkeeping keeps your records clean. An accountant uses those records to prepare your accounts, file your returns, and advise on tax. They work together.
