Xero bookkeeping specialists

Xero bookkeeping, done right. By dedicated Xero specialists.

Bookkeeping is the foundation for VAT returns, year-end financial statements, borrowing, hiring, and pricing decisions. When your books are right, everything gets easier. When they are not, every conversation costs more.

We have spent 17 years making sure our clients’ books are right.

Building on clean bookkeeping, we also leverage the Xero ecosystem

A clean Xero file is just the start. We use the wider toolset to take the manual work out of your day:

  • Dext and Hubdoc for receipt and bill capture
  • ApprovalMax for purchase order and bill approval workflows
  • Crezco for payment perfection
  • Stripe, GoCardless, PayPal and the major bank feeds are plumbed in and reconciling cleanly.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

What our bookkeeping service can include

We can support your business on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on what you need.

Xero bookkeeping

We work exclusively with Xero for bookkeeping, helping you make the most of the platform and keeping your records clean, accurate and up to date.

Bank reconciliations

We reconcile your bank transactions against invoices, receipts and payments so your Xero records reflect the true position of your business.

Sales and purchase processing

We help process sales invoices, purchase invoices, receipts and supplier information so your records are complete and easy to follow.

VAT support

We help keep your VAT records organised and ready for submission, giving you confidence that the figures in Xero are accurate.

Reporting and insight

Bookkeeping should do more than keep you compliant. We help you understand your numbers so you can see what is coming in, what is going out and where your business stands.

Process integration

We build our bookkeeping process around your business, whether that means working with shared folders, dedicated email accounts, Xero workflows or other systems you already use.

How we integrate with your business

We work as an extension of your team, not a black box at the end of a month-end deadline. In practice, that usually means:

  • A named lead bookkeeper and a named back-up, so you always know who you are speaking to
  • Shared inboxes, Slack or Teams — whatever your team already uses
  • A clear monthly cadence with deadlines we both sign up to
  • Quarterly review calls to focus on the numbers, not just compliance.
  • Fixed monthly fees so there are no surprise invoices.

Onboarding

Most clients are fully onboarded within two to four weeks. We take a proper look at the existing file, agree on what good looks like, fix anything that needs fixing and then quietly take the work off your desk.
