How it works

  1. Connect

    A short call, then read-only access to your bank feeds and accounting software. If your books are behind, we catch them up first.

  2. We keep up

    Every week we reconcile, invoice and chase. Questions come to you in one list, not scattered messages.

  3. Monthly close

    By the third working day you get a short report: what came in, what went out, who owes you and what tax is coming.

Fixed monthly pricing

No hourly billing surprises. If your volume changes, we tell you before the price does.

Questions

Do I still need an accountant?

Usually yes, for your year-end accounts and tax return. We keep the books clean all year so their job is quicker and cheaper. Happy to work with the accountant you already have.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes. We quote a one-off catch-up first, bring everything up to date, then move you onto a monthly plan.

Is my financial data safe?

We use read-only bank feeds wherever possible, two-factor logins on every system, and never ask for your online banking password.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. Plans run month to month with 30 days' notice to cancel.
