Who we help

Businesses with better things to do than bookkeeping

Our clients range from start-ups to established companies, supported from our Leeds office wherever in the UK they are, with site visits when they help. What they share is a preference for doing their actual work while someone dependable does the numbers.

Owner-managed businesses

The heart of the practice. Limited companies and family businesses where the owner has been doing the books at nine o'clock at night and has decided to stop. We take the routine, keep you compliant and give you numbers worth reading.

  • Typical services: bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end

Start-ups and first hires

Getting the foundations right at the start is far cheaper than fixing them later. We set up your accounting system, establish good habits from day one and grow the support as the business grows.

  • Typical services: cloud accounting setup, bookkeeping, payroll for the first employees

Construction and trades

Contractors and subcontractors dealing with CIS, the domestic reverse charge and site payrolls. We run the monthly CIS cycle, keep VAT right and make sure deduction statements land where they should.

  • Typical services: CIS, payroll, VAT, bookkeeping

Legal practices

Client account and office account bookkeeping, matter-level records and LEAP with Xero. A specialism most general practices cannot offer.

  • Typical services: legal bookkeeping, VAT, payroll

Growing SMEs and outsourcers

Businesses at the point where finance needs a department but does not yet justify one. We become that department: books, payroll, reporting and a steady eye on cash, scaled to what the month actually requires.

  • Typical services: outsourced finance support, management accounts

Charities and not-for-profits

Yvonne's background includes years in the charity sector, and the practice supports organisations that answer to trustees and funders rather than shareholders, with the reporting discipline that requires.

  • Typical services: bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll

Yvonne has worked with us since September 2017. We have found her to be very knowledgeable and professional in her work. She assisted us with setting up our new accounts package Xero. She is a valuable asset to our company.
