    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.

    Who are bookkeeping services ideal for?

    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.

    At Total Books, our bookkeeping services are ideal for:

    • Small and medium-sized businesses that want to hit the ground running
    • Limited companies in need of accurate and streamlined record-keeping
    • Sole traders that require additional support with bookkeeping processes

    Why hire a professional bookkeeper?

    If you notice a never-ending pile of paperwork on your desk or you can’t quite keep track of your business finances, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Many small businesses and growing companies struggle to keep up with bookkeeping demands, leaving them with less time and energy to focus on their business. Hiring a professional bookkeeper might just be the answer you’re looking for.

    Our experienced bookkeepers can help small and growing businesses organise their finances and speed up time-consuming administrative tasks. Their meticulous work and experience using professional bookkeeping software means they can help reduce the risk of errors, so you don’t have to worry about fines and penalties.

    Not only do our bookkeepers ensure accuracy and compliance from the get-go, but they also provide you with an overview of how your business performs financially. Through detailed reports and real-time analysis, our bookkeepers give you the right amount of knowledge to make effective business decisions.

    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.

    I use these guys every year for my tax self assessment and they are excellent. Very clear and walk me through everything, without being patronising or judgemental at all! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

    Buhir helped me out with managing my taxes for me as it was a first time doing it here in the uk. Very helpful and easy to talk to if I had any questions. Would definitely recommend him if you are looking for an accountant or financial advisor.
    Jay Karauna
    I would give a very strong recommendation for Total Books. I chose them based on the google reviews and it is absolutely deserving of 5 stars. I had a question relating to payroll tax and foreign tax - he answered all my questions incredibly fast and true to his word didn't charge for the first consultation as we solved everything in 20 minutes. Absolutely stellar and professional, thanks Buhir!

    I had a really useful initial call with Buhir Rafiq, one of Total Books' accountants. He had straight forward advice and answered my questions on both personal taxes and my new business partnership. Very helpful.
