Bookkeeping Services in Crewe
Accurate, real-time bookkeeping in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent or Capium. Live visibility of your numbers, automated bank feeds and ready-for-tax records.
Good bookkeeping is the foundation of every other accounting decision. Without accurate, up to date records, tax planning is guesswork, management decisions are blind and year-end accounts become a stressful scramble. With proper bookkeeping in place, you have live visibility of cash, profitability and tax positions, and your accountant has the foundation to deliver real value.
What we offer
Our bookkeeping service combines modern cloud accounting platforms with experienced human bookkeepers, giving you the best of both. Automation handles the repetitive work. Real people handle the judgment calls. The result is clean, accurate, real-time books that you can rely on.
- Bank reconciliation daily, weekly or monthly automated reconciliation through live bank feeds.
- Sales and purchase invoicing we can raise invoices on your behalf or simply process invoices you raise.
- Expense recording including receipts captured via mobile apps like Hubdoc or Dext.
- Credit control debtor and creditor management, statement runs and chasing where required.
- VAT-ready records ensuring every transaction is correctly coded for VAT and MTD-compliant submission.
- Monthly management reports profit and loss, balance sheet and KPI summaries, delivered the same time each month.
Platforms we support
We are platform-agnostic but recommend Xero in most cases because of its integrations, mobile experience and bank feed reliability. We also work confidently with QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent and Capium. If you are not currently on any platform, we will recommend the best fit for your business and handle the setup and migration.
How it works
Once onboarded, we set you up with secure bank feeds, document capture apps and a clear process for handing over information. Day to day, the system runs largely on autopilot. We reconcile, code and review on an agreed schedule (typically weekly or monthly), flag anything unusual, and produce reports at month end. You get a clean, current set of books without needing to touch them yourself.
What it costs
Monthly bookkeeping is priced based on transaction volume and complexity, starting from around 100 pounds per month plus VAT for smaller businesses. It is included as standard in our Growth package. See pricing for details.

FAQ
Bookkeeping questions
Can you take over from our current bookkeeper?
Yes. The transition is straightforward, and we coordinate directly with your existing bookkeeper to ensure a clean handover. There is no break in service and no disruption to your operations.
Do I need cloud accounting software?
Yes, modern bookkeeping is almost always done in the cloud. The benefits include real-time bank feeds, automated bank reconciliation, mobile apps for invoicing and expenses, live management reporting and full MTD compliance. If you are not already on a cloud platform, we will set you up as part of onboarding.
Will I still have access to the books?
Yes, always. You retain full access to your accounting platform as the business owner. We work alongside you, never replace your access.
Can you handle multi-currency bookkeeping?
Yes. Xero and QuickBooks both handle multi-currency well, and we have experience with businesses transacting in EUR, USD, AUD and other major currencies.
How often will my books be updated?
We agree this with you at onboarding. Most clients are reconciled weekly, with month-end close completed within five working days of period end. Higher-volume businesses may need more frequent updates.
