Is QuickBooks the right fit for your business?

Answer five quick questions and get a clear, personalised next step based on your situation.

WHAT I DO

What I handle on your behalf

From initial QuickBooks setup through to year-end accounts and tax filings, I manage the full picture so nothing slips through.

01

QuickBooks Setup and Cloud Accounting Management

I set up your QuickBooks account correctly from day one, connecting your bank feeds, categorising transactions and making sure your chart of accounts reflects how your business actually works. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I know where the common pitfalls are and I make sure you avoid them. Whether you are on the Sole Trader plan or QuickBooks Online, I match the right plan to your needs.

02

Bookkeeping and VAT Returns

I handle your monthly or quarterly bookkeeping inside QuickBooks, keeping your records clean and MTD-ready. VAT returns are prepared and submitted directly to HMRC through QuickBooks under Making Tax Digital, so you are compliant without having to think about it. You see exactly what is owed and when.

03

Accounts, Tax Returns and Tax Planning

At year-end I prepare your sole trader accounts or limited company accounts directly from your QuickBooks data, minimising the admin on your side. I file your Self Assessment or Corporation Tax return and look for legitimate ways to reduce your tax liability as part of the process. Tax planning is included in the conversation, not sold as an extra.

Year-round support
WHY IT WORKS

Why clients come back every year

These are the practical reasons my clients stay, based on what they tell me matters to them.

You always speak directly to me

There are no junior members of staff, no call centres and no handoffs to someone who does not know your file. Every question you send goes to me and gets answered the same day. That is what one-to-one service actually means.

Fixed fees with no surprises

You know your fee before we start and it does not change unless your circumstances change significantly. There are no hourly rates ticking in the background when you ring me with a question. You can get in touch whenever you need to.

Fully remote and built around your schedule

I work with clients across the UK and all of our work is done remotely through QuickBooks and secure file sharing. We meet by video call at a time that fits around your working day. There is no need to drive to an office or take time off work.

FROM CLIENTS I WORK WITH

What clients say

★★★★★

“Luke set up QuickBooks for me and took the time to explain what each section actually meant. I had been putting off sorting my books for months. Within a week everything was in order and I finally knew where my business stood financially.”

★★★★★

“I moved my limited company accounts to Luke after years with a firm where I barely spoke to the same person twice. The difference is night and day. He replies the same day, explains things in plain English and my QuickBooks is actually up to date for the first time in years.”

M.H.
Limited Company Director
★★★★★

“As a contractor I was always worried I was missing something with my accounts. Luke sorted my QuickBooks setup, handles my VAT returns and reminds me of every deadline before it arrives. I just focus on my work now.”

GETTING STARTED

How it works

Getting started is straightforward and takes about 20 minutes of your time.

01

Book a free call

We spend 20 to 30 minutes on a video call going through your current situation. I ask about your business structure, how your books are currently kept and what you need QuickBooks to do for you. There is no obligation and no sales pitch.

02

Agree a fixed fee

I put together a clear proposal based on what your business actually needs. You see the full annual fee before you commit to anything. Once you are happy, we sign a simple letter of engagement.

03

Set up your QuickBooks and get your books in order

I set up or take over your QuickBooks account, connect your bank feeds and sort any backlog of transactions. I let you know exactly what I need from you and handle the technical side without you having to learn it.

04

Ongoing support, deadlines filed, questions answered

From that point on I handle your bookkeeping, VAT, payroll or accounts on an agreed schedule. You can contact me by email or phone whenever a question comes up and I respond the same day.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

QuickBooks is designed to be usable without an accountant, but most small business owners find that the bookkeeping takes more time than expected and that errors in categorisation can cause problems at tax time. Having a QuickBooks ProAdvisor handle the setup and ongoing records means your data is accurate from the start, your VAT returns are filed correctly and your year-end accounts can be prepared from clean data without expensive corrections. You save time and reduce the risk of HMRC queries.
QuickBooks offers a Sole Trader plan at around 10 pounds per month for self-employed individuals who need simplified expense tracking and Self Assessment support. QuickBooks Online Simple Start, Essentials and Plus are better suited to limited companies and businesses with employees or VAT obligations, with pricing ranging from around 14 to 38 pounds per month. When you book a call with me I will tell you exactly which plan fits your situation before you commit to anything.
Yes. QuickBooks supports Making Tax Digital for VAT and is also on the HMRC approved list for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which comes into effect for some sole traders and landlords from 6 April 2026. If you are within scope for MTD for Income Tax, I will make sure your QuickBooks setup meets the requirements and that your quarterly updates are submitted on time.
A backlog of unreconciled transactions or a drawer full of receipts is more common than most people admit. I deal with this regularly. Once we agree to work together I will assess what needs doing, give you a clear plan for catching up and handle the reconciliation work myself. You do not need to have everything perfect before getting in touch.
