Bookkeepers keep your day-to-day records straight: invoices, receipts, bank reconciliation and VAT-ready books. Most now work in cloud software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, so location matters less than reliability and rate. Expect quotes as a monthly fee based on transaction volume.

Frequently asked questions

Do these services work for startups and new businesses?
Yes. Many providers offer startup packages covering company formation, registrations and first-year accounts, and getting the books right from day one is far cheaper than fixing them later.
How much does an accountant cost for a small business?
Most UK small businesses pay a fixed monthly fee, typically from around 60 to 250 pounds a month depending on turnover, whether you are a sole trader or limited company, and what is included. Comparing itemised quotes is the only reliable way to see what you would pay.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
Bookkeepers handle day-to-day records: transactions, reconciliation and VAT-ready books. Accountants work on top of those records: year-end accounts, tax returns, planning and advice. Many businesses use both, and some firms provide the two together.
What should I include in my quote request?
Business type and rough turnover, what you need (year-end accounts, VAT, payroll headcount, bookkeeping volume), the software you use if any, and when you need it by. Specific requests get sharper quotes.
