Catch-up bookkeeping: your questions.
How far back can you go?
As far as your records allow. HMRC expects you to keep records for at least 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline for Self Assessment, and 6 years for companies.
What if I have lost receipts?
We reconstruct from bank statements wherever possible and tell you which items need supporting evidence.
Will you deal with HMRC for me?
We prepare the records. Filing and HMRC correspondence are handled by our parent firm Accotax if you need them.
How much does bookkeeping cost in the UK?
At Bookkeeping Services, bookkeeping costs a flat £15 per hour. Most sole traders need 2 to 4 hours a month (£30 to £60) and small limited companies 4 to 8 hours (£60 to £120). Our instant quote gives your exact figure.
Is there a contract or set-up fee?
No long contract. Onboarding time is charged at the same £15 hourly rate and shown clearly in your quote.
Which accounting software do you support?
Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreeAgent and Sage, plus migration from spreadsheets.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. Everything is done online, so we work with clients across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
