It depends on your business — we reconcile weekly for many clients and monthly for others. We'll agree a rhythm that keeps your numbers current enough for the decisions you make and the deadlines you face. Do I need to be on Xero? It's how we work best — as a Xero Gold Partner, Xero gives us the automation and real-time data behind great bookkeeping. If you're on another system, we'll review it and, where it helps, migrate you to Xero with no disruption. Can you take over messy or behind books? Yes, and we do it without judgement. We'll tidy up and catch up your records, then keep them current going forward — it's one of the most common reasons businesses come to us. Do you work onsite or remotely? Because everything runs in the cloud, we support most clients remotely across London and beyond — you and we see the same live books from anywhere. We're based in Paddington and happy to meet in person where it helps. How is bookkeeping priced? We use simple, fixed monthly packages based on the size and complexity of your business, so you always know what you'll pay — no hourly surprises.
