Bookkeeper in Worcester
Monthly bookkeeping from £35/month. Management accounts, bank reconciliation, and Making Tax Digital compliance — handled by our Worcester team.
Bookkeeping That Keeps Worcester Business Moving
Bad bookkeeping isn’t just a headache — it’s expensive. Missed VAT claims, messy year-end accounts that cost extra to sort out, management decisions made on wrong numbers. If you’re running a business in Worcester or Worcestershire, you deserve books that are actually useful — not just tidy enough to satisfy HMRC once a year.
We handle bookkeeping for Worcester businesses of all sizes: sole traders who need their VAT done and nothing more, growing SMEs that want monthly management accounts, and everything in between. Xero, QuickBooks, Sage — we work in whatever system makes sense for your business.
From £35 per month. No lock-ins. Books that tell you something useful.

Why Worcester Businesses Need Proper Bookkeeping
Worcester’s business community is a mix of long-standing independents and fast-growing new businesses — from retailers on Friar Street and the High Street to professional services firms around the Cathedral Quarter, hospitality venues near the Racecourse, and a growing cluster of tech and creative businesses in the city centre.
Each type of business has different bookkeeping needs. A Worcester pub needs stock reconciliation and split VAT rates handled properly. A Worcester contractor needs CIS deductions recorded accurately. A Worcester e-commerce business needs sales channels reconciled and stock valued correctly. We’ve done it all.
Making Tax Digital for VAT is already live, and MTD for Income Tax arrives from April 2026. If your bookkeeping isn’t on approved digital software, you’re going to have a problem. We help Worcester businesses get set up properly before the deadline — not in a panic after it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bookkeeping services in Worcester.
How much does bookkeeping cost for a small Worcester business?
Monthly bookkeeping starts from £35/month for a small business with low transaction volumes. The exact price depends on transaction volume, whether you need VAT returns, and whether you want management accounts included. We always quote a fixed monthly fee upfront.
Can I come into your Worcester office to discuss my bookkeeping?
Yes — our Worcester office at 1 Shaw Street, Shaw Mews, WR1 3QQ is open Monday to Friday 9am–5:30pm. Most bookkeeping is handled remotely through cloud software, but we’re always available to meet in person when it helps.
What bookkeeping software do you use?
We work with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage — the three main cloud platforms. If you’re not on software yet, we’ll recommend the right one for your business and set it up correctly from the start.
Do I need Making Tax Digital software for my bookkeeping?
Yes, if you’re VAT-registered you already need MTD-compatible software. MTD for Income Tax (ITSA) arrives from April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000. We set clients up on compliant software and handle all MTD submissions.
Can you take over bookkeeping from my current accountant or system?
Yes. We handle migrations from spreadsheets, desktop software, or other cloud platforms. We’ll review your current setup, clean up any issues, and migrate you to your new system cleanly — with no gap in records.
What's included in monthly management accounts?
Our management accounts include a profit & loss statement, balance sheet, and cashflow summary for the period. We highlight key movements, flag anything unusual, and present the numbers in a format you can actually understand and act on.
How often will you update my books?
Monthly, as standard — with reconciliation completed and VAT returns ready within the first two weeks of the following month. For higher-volume businesses or those who want more frequent visibility, we offer weekly or fortnightly bookkeeping.
Do you handle VAT returns as part of bookkeeping?
Yes. VAT preparation and MTD-compliant submission to HMRC is included in our bookkeeping service. We also advise on the most beneficial VAT scheme for your business — standard, flat rate, cash accounting, or annual accounting.
