What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording specific financial transactions related to a business, including all income and outgoings in the form of invoices, receipts, bank statements and so on. It is the cornerstone of any successful business and ensures all other accounting processes are accurate and in line with HMRC’s complex rules and regulations. We use modern digital bookkeeping software, so you have clear reporting from the get-go.

Every business needs bookkeeping. The right bookkeeping support will help you understand your business finances and prepare for ongoing financial responsibilities, whether you’re a new business or a long-established firm.

Frequently asked questions about our bookkeeping service
Does bookkeeping include the maintenance of financial records?
Yes, bookkeeping is a pivotal part of maintaining financial records. By helping you keep track of your financial data, such as your income and expenses, we make sure your business is in the best position to submit tax returns on time and accurately and prepare important financial reports. HMRC advises that records have to be kept for 6 years, and our online Xero bookkeeping software enables this.
Can a bookkeeper prepare financial statements?
Our primary role is to ensure your bookkeeping records are accurate and up-to-date, ready to prepare future financial reports and statements. Our services can be tailored to suit the needs of your business, meaning we can help prepare basic financial statements as required, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. Rest assured that all of our bookkeepers with Total Books are qualified and experienced to ensure 100% accuracy.
