Bookkeeping services in Liverpool

Bookkeeping is recording every sale, cost and bank payment so your figures are complete and correct. Good books mean your tax returns are accurate and quick to prepare. They also let you see how the business is really doing during the year, instead of finding out months after it ends.

We keep your books up to date monthly or quarterly. We work from your bank feed and the receipts you photograph, and check everything against the bank, so the numbers can be trusted.

• Bank transactions matched and coded each month or quarter
• Sales invoices and supplier bills recorded and checked
• Who owes you money, and how long it has been outstanding
• A short monthly or quarterly report on profit and cash
• A budget, and how the business is doing against it

You might do it yourself and fall behind every busy month. You might have a shoebox of receipts and a bank statement. Or your bookkeeper might have left. All are common, and all are fixable.

Digital records are also becoming compulsory for more people. Sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 have had to keep them since April 2026 under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. The limit drops to £30,000 from April 2027 and to £20,000 from April 2028. Up-to-date books make the quarterly updates straightforward.

• Sole traders who want to stop losing weekends to receipts
• Landlords with several properties, each needing its own income and costs
• Limited companies that need clean records for accounts, VAT and payroll
• Online sellers with sales coming in from more than one platform
• Growing businesses about to apply for a loan, lease or investment

Good bookkeeping is not just data entry. Each item should be coded to the right heading, matched to the bank, and checked for VAT. A cost recorded twice or a sale missed changes your tax. That is why every set of books we keep is checked against the bank statement before any report goes out.

1. 1

   A look at your records

   In a free 20-minute chat we find out what you have, which software you use and how many transactions you have each month.

   Your price, in writing

   A fixed monthly fee, sent within one working day and held for 12 months unless the business changes.

3. 3

   Catch-up if needed

   If your books are behind, we bring them up to date first so we start from a clean position.

4. 4

   Software set up

   We connect your bank and set up receipt capture in the software you use, or move you onto software if you are on paper.

5. 5

   Regular routine

   Each month or quarter we code, check and reconcile, then send you a short report and our notes on what changed.

Your bookkeeping feeds every return you file. When it is current, the deadlines below become routine:

Bookkeeping is included in your fixed monthly fee along with your returns. Fees start from £99 for self-employed people and landlords, £150 for limited companies, and £220 for growing businesses. Volume of transactions is the main thing that moves the price. See our fees page. If you already have an accountant, we can handle the switch for you.

• Read-only access to your business bank account, or statements
• Access to your bookkeeping software, if you use one
• Receipts and invoices for the period, on paper or as photos
• Your last accounts or tax return, so we can carry the figures forward

If you are VAT-registered or run payroll, let us know the references too, so we can line your books up with those returns from the start.
