FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Do I need a bookkeeper if I use Xero or Quickbooks?
Yes. While software helps with automation, it doesn’t replace the experience and attention to detail of a bookkeeper. We ensure your records are accurate, compliant, and tailored to your business needs.
-
Can you help me choose the right package?
Absolutely. We’ll chat through your business setup, your goals, and what level of support you need - then suggest the right package or custom option.
-
Do you work with businesses outside of Skipton?
Yes! Although we’re proudly based in Skipton, we support clients all over the UK using cloud-based tools and regular check-ins.
-
What’s included in your bookkeeping packages?
Our packages cover transaction posting, reconciliations, VAT returns, reports, and more. You can also add services like payroll, credit control, or self-assessment as needed.
-
How often will my books be updated?
That’s up to you! We offer weekly, monthly, or quarterly support depending on your package and needs.
-
I’ve fallen behind - can you help me catch up?
Definitely. We regularly work with businesses to get accounts up to date, clean up historical issues, and put better systems in place going forward.
-
I only have one employee - do I still need payroll services?
Yes. Even for a single staff member, you’ll need to submit real-time info (RTI) to HMRC, manage pension contributions, and issue payslips. We take care of all of that.
-
Do you manage CIS for construction businesses?
We do! We handle CIS deductions, monthly returns, and verification so you can stay compliant and stress-free.

Which accounting software do you support?
We work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage, and more — including apps for receipt capture. We’ll help choose the best tools for your business.
-
What is Making Tax Digital, and do I need to be ready?
MTD is HMRC’s move to digital reporting. If you’re VAT registered or self-employed with income over £50K, you’ll need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates. We make the transition easy.

I’m new to bookkeeping. Can you help me set everything up?
