Bookkeeping Services
Recording and reconciling day-to-day transactions, with books closed at an agreed frequency.
Monthly closing is typically completed within 7–10 days of receiving the records
Bookkeeping is the routine work of recording what the business has bought, sold, received and paid, and reconciling those records against the bank and the ledgers. Every return you file and every decision you take on the numbers depends on it being done consistently.
We keep books for proprietors, partnership firms, LLPs and companies — either as the entire accounting function or alongside an in-house person who handles entry while we review and close each period.
A regular cycle rather than a year-end scramble
Books written up once a year, in the weeks before a return is due, are slower to prepare and far more likely to contain errors that nobody can now explain. Bank entries from eleven months ago are hard to identify, and the people who would have known are working on something else.
A monthly cycle avoids that. You send records once a month, we record and reconcile them, and you get a closed period and a short list of anything we could not identify while it is still fresh.
Working with what you already have
We do not require you to change software to work with us. We work in Tally and in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and can work from spreadsheets, scanned bills or a shared folder of photographs if that is how your records currently arrive.
If your existing records are behind or inconsistent, we will tell you what it takes to bring them current before we start the regular cycle.

Frequently asked questions
My books are two years behind. Can that be fixed?
Usually, yes, provided the underlying records still exist — bank statements, purchase bills and sales records. We start by assessing what is available and what is missing, and set out what it will take to bring the books current before doing the work.
Where documents are genuinely unavailable, we will tell you what can be reconstructed and what cannot, rather than filling gaps with assumptions.
Do I have to change my accounting software to work with you?
No. We work in Tally and in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and can also work from spreadsheets or scanned records if that is how your records currently arrive.
If we think a change would genuinely help, we will explain why — but it is not a condition of working together.
Books behind, or no one keeping them?
Tell us where things stand and we will set out what it takes to bring them current and keep them there.
