Bookkeeping in Tewkesbury and Gloucestershire

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of a well run business. We keep your records accurate, up to date and ready for tax season, on the software you already use.

What our bookkeeping includes

  • Bank reconciliation and transaction matching
  • Sales invoice processing and tracking
  • Purchase invoice entry and management
  • Expense categorisation and analysis
  • Supplier and customer account maintenance
  • Monthly management reports
  • Credit control support
  • VAT return preparation where applicable

Why good bookkeeping saves money

Accurate records are the base of every tax return, VAT return and set of accounts. When your books are up to date you claim every cost you are allowed to, see problems early, and avoid the scramble before a deadline.

What we do each month

We record your sales and purchases, reconcile your bank accounts, categorise transactions, chase missing receipts and keep your records ready for your accounts and tax returns. You can send paperwork by photo or upload, and we tell you straightforwardly what is missing.

Software we work with

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, and we can set up whichever suits your business and train you to use it. If you prefer, we keep the books for you from your bank statements and receipts, so you never need to log in.

Getting ready for Making Tax Digital

From April 2026, sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC. The limit falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Good digital bookkeeping now makes that change straightforward.

Questions

Common questions.

What bookkeeping software do you support?

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent. If you use something else, ask us.

How often should bookkeeping be done?

Monthly suits most small businesses. Busy businesses may prefer weekly. It is much easier than catching up once a year.

What's included in your bookkeeping service?

Bank reconciliation, sales and purchase invoices, expense categorisation, supplier and customer accounts and monthly reports. The package you choose decides how much we take on.

Can you take over from my existing bookkeeper?

Yes. We handle the handover with your previous bookkeeper, so it takes very little of your time.

Do I need to provide paper receipts?

Not usually. Photos or scans of receipts are normally fine, and cloud software can capture them for you.
