Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of every sale, purchase and bank transaction your business makes. Under Making Tax Digital it must be kept digitally. We do it on Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage from £95 a month, so your VAT, your accounts and your tax all come out of clean records.
Good bookkeeping is not an administrative chore, it is the foundation everything else sits on. Clean books mean a cheaper year end, a faster VAT return, fewer HMRC questions and an actual idea of whether you made money last month.
