What I take off your plate

Simple, reliable services tailored for freelancers, sole traders, and small business owners across the UK.

Monthly bookkeeping

Every transaction categorised, every account reconciled. You get a clean set of books, not a shoebox of receipts.

VAT returns

Prepared and checked ahead of every deadline, so there's never a last-minute panic or a guessed figure.

Monthly reports

A plain-English summary of what came in, what went out, and where you actually stand — no jargon required.

How we work together

01

Free 15-minute chat

We talk through your business, how you currently handle your books, and whether it's a good fit — no pressure, no pitch.

02

Get set up

I connect to your bank feeds and existing software (Xero or QuickBooks), and get your historical books sorted first.

03

Monthly rhythm begins

Each month I reconcile, categorise, and send you a short report. You just carry on running your business.

04

Deadline day, handled

VAT returns and year-end handovers to your accountant are prepared well ahead of time. No surprises.

About

"I got into bookkeeping because I like the feeling of a balanced ledger — and I like giving business owners that same peace of mind."

I'm Ben, and I work with small businesses and sole traders across the UK who'd rather spend their time running their business than reconciling bank feeds.

No jargon, no chasing you for receipts every five minutes, and no surprises when a deadline rolls around. Just tidy books, delivered on time, every month.
