What we look after

Bank and card reconciliations

Every transaction matched and explained, usually weekly or monthly depending on your volumes, so your balances agree with the bank.

Sales and purchase invoices

Invoices and bills recorded as they arrive, with receipts captured digitally. You can see who owes you money and what you owe.

Credit control support

Regular aged debtor reports and reminders, so late payers are chased before they become a cash flow problem.

VAT-ready records

Transactions coded correctly for VAT from the start, so returns are quick, accurate and ready for Making Tax Digital.

Software set-up and tidy-ups

We set up or clean up your cloud accounting software, connect bank feeds and receipt apps, and bring overdue books up to date.

A base for better reporting

Clean books make monthly management accounts and cash flow forecasts possible. When you are ready, we build those on top. See our [finance function service](/finance-function).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which software do you use?

We work in cloud accounting software. If you already use a package, we can usually keep it. If not, we will recommend one that suits your business.

Can you catch up on books that have fallen behind?

Yes. We can bring overdue records up to date, then keep them current each month.

Is bookkeeping enough on its own?

For some businesses, yes. As you grow, most clients add payroll, VAT and management accounts. See what a finance function covers, or read bookkeeper vs accountant to see where each fits.

How much does it cost?

We agree a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volumes and what you need, so you know the cost upfront.

Do you offer bookkeeping services near me in Derbyshire?

Yes. Our office is at Holt Hall, Tansley, a few minutes from Matlock, and we work with businesses across Derbyshire, including Matlock, Chesterfield, Belper, Bakewell and Wirksworth. You can meet us in person or work with us entirely online. See accountants in Matlock.

Who does the bookkeeping?

A named member of our team keeps your books, with work reviewed by qualified accountants. You deal with the same people each month, not a call centre.

What happens at month end?

We reconcile the bank and card accounts, check what is owed to and by the business, review payroll and VAT, and post the month-end adjustments so the figures can be relied on. See our month-end close checklist for the full routine.
