Professional Bookkeeping Services

Business figures made easy.

Bookkeeping records shouldn't just be there to ensure compliance with legal regulations but should also be there to help business owners to manage and grow their business. At the same time the importance of compliance shouldn't be ignored as then it becomes a headache for both the business owner & their accountant!

What if you could have a bookkeeper who understands compliance and what your accountant and ultimately, HM Revenue & Customs, needs as well as being able to present you with management financial reports on a real time basis?

This is what we do at CharlieLou Bookkeeping - We know that bookkeeping is so much more than data entry, an understanding of what the final compliance reports (be it a self-assessment tax return or company statutory year end accounts) need to include is an essential foundation for any business' record-keeping. We also can make those figures & reports work for you on a day-to-day basis. We call it Value Added Bookkeeping.

Need help with MTD for VAT? Need help with MTD for ITSA? Want to use your bookkeeping records to understand, manage & grow your business?

MTD for VAT is already compulsory and MTD for Income Tax & Self-Assessment (ITSA) will be necessary for many self-employed and landlords from April 2026. This means no more manual cashbooks, shoe box full of invoices & receipts and even spreadsheets will have had their day. Digital records will be required. There are many cloud-based accounting software solutions out there and it may feel annoying to be forced to make the change but this change can be turned into an advantage to help you grow your business.
