Your books stay in your own software. We work in them online every UK working day as an invited user. Receipts reach us through your finance inbox or a receipt app, so nobody needs to post a carrier bag of paperwork or visit your office.

HOW ONLINE BOOKKEEPING WORKS
Online bookkeeping means the whole job is done remotely. Your bank lines arrive through bank feeds. Your receipts and bills arrive by email or through a receipt app. We do the bookkeeping inside your accounting software, and you can see every change in your software. We work with businesses anywhere in the UK. If you want the full picture of the daily service itself, start with our daily bookkeeping service page. This page explains how the remote side works.
ACCESS TO YOUR SOFTWARE
We do not move your books into a system of ours. Your accounting software stays in your name, on your subscription. You add us as a user, in the same way you would add an accountant or a member of staff. Where your software offers access levels, you choose ours.
We sign in with our own login, so your software can tell our work apart from yours. You never need to share your own password where your software supports invited users. You can remove our user at any time, and our access ends straight away. We work in 14 packages, from Xero and QuickBooks to Sage and FreeAgent. See the full list on our software page.
GETTING DOCUMENTS TO US
Most businesses use one or two of these. We agree the routine with you on the first call, then stick to it.
Your finance inbox. Many suppliers already email invoices. With your permission, we check the inbox or folders you agree with us for invoices and receipts. We do not look anywhere else.
A receipt app. If you use a capture tool such as Dext, Hubdoc or AutoEntry, you snap a photo or forward an email and it reads the details. We review what it has read before anything is published to your books.
Straight into your software. Some packages let you attach a receipt to a transaction from a phone. We pick these up as we reconcile each day.
A TYPICAL WEEK
Each working day. We open your software and reconcile new bank and card lines. Where a line has a matching invoice or bill, we check the amount, date and contact before we confirm it. Where it does not, we code it to the right account and VAT rate, or look for the document it belongs to. We check your finance inbox and receipt app for anything new and match it to the payment.
As the week goes on. Anything we cannot match goes on a short list of open items. That might be a card payment with no receipt, a transfer we do not recognise or a supplier invoice that has not arrived. We follow these up with you, or with the supplier, in the way you choose.
Your part. You answer the questions on the list when it suits you, by email or WhatsApp. You keep sending receipts the way we agreed. That is usually all.
At the end of the month. We check every bank account against its statement balance and clear or list anything still open. You get a short monthly financial summary in plain English, with any questions that still need an answer.

STAYING IN TOUCH
You can reach us by phone on 020 7123 9335, by email at [email protected] or on WhatsApp. Questions about your books come to you in writing, so there is a clear record of what was asked and what you said.
Calls happen over Google Meet. If you have an accountant, we agree at the start who does what, so nothing is done twice.
SECURITY BASICS
Working online should not mean handing your records to someone else's system. Your bookkeeping records stay in your own accounting software, under your account. We work in them as an invited user with our own login, and you can see who made each change.
Finance inbox checks only happen if you authorise them, and only in the inbox or folders you agree with us. You can change which inbox we check, or stop inbox checks, at any time. The rest of your bookkeeping carries on in your software.
If you leave, there is nothing to hand back. Everything we did is already in your software, ready for you or your next bookkeeper. You simply remove our user. Read more on our data security page.
WHAT IS INCLUDED

SWITCHING TO ONLINE BOOKKEEPING
If your books are behind, we review them first and agree a catch-up plan with a separate quote. Once they are up to date, the daily online routine starts.
If you are moving from another bookkeeper, your records stay in your software, so the handover is mostly about access and routines. Our guide on how to switch bookkeeper covers the steps. If paper receipts are the problem, read how to organise receipts for your business.
