Professional Bookkeeping for Sole Traders, Trades and Small Businesses

Keeping your bookkeeping up to date and ready for Self Assessment, HMRC submissions and Making Tax Digital can be time-consuming and often gets pushed aside while you're busy running your business.

When your bookkeeping falls behind, it becomes harder to see your cashflow position, monitor profitability and stay prepared for important deadlines.

With 30+ years' experience I help businesses stay on top of their bookkeeping, finances and HMRC obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to common bookkeeping questions — so you know exactly how I can help.

What services do you provide?

I provide ongoing bookkeeping, VAT, CIS, payroll, cashflow forecasting, financial reporting and Making Tax Digital (MTD) services for sole traders, partnerships and small businesses. I keep your financial records accurate, organised and up to date, allowing you to focus on running your business.

Can you deal with HMRC on my behalf?

Yes. As an HMRC authorised agent, I can act on behalf of clients for relevant HMRC services once the appropriate authorisations have been completed. This helps streamline communication and ensures matters are dealt with efficiently.

Do you manage VAT, CIS and Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements?

Yes. I can prepare and submit VAT returns, manage CIS requirements, process payroll and help businesses comply with Making Tax Digital requirements, including maintaining digital records and submitting returns through compatible software where required.

Do you specialise in trades and service businesses?

Yes. I regularly work with tradespeople, contractors and service-based businesses, including builders, roofers, plumbers, pest control businesses, gardeners and other self-employed professionals. I understand how these businesses operate and keep bookkeeping straightforward and easy to manage.

Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind?

Absolutely. If your records have fallen behind, I can review them, bring everything up to date and establish a clear bookkeeping process to help you stay on track going forward.

Do you work with Xero and QuickBooks?

Yes. I work with both Xero and QuickBooks and can set up, manage and maintain your accounting software, including migrations from spreadsheets or manual record-keeping systems.

Do you offer support for new business start-ups?

Yes. I can help new businesses get established correctly from the beginning, including bookkeeping systems, cloud accounting software, HMRC registrations, CIS registration, payroll setup and Making Tax Digital preparation.

Can CIS and payroll be provided as standalone services?

Yes. CIS Management and Payroll Services can be provided as standalone services or alongside ongoing bookkeeping, depending on the needs of your business.

Do you prepare Self Assessment tax returns?

Yes. I can prepare and submit Self Assessment tax returns for sole traders and individuals where required. This service is separate from ongoing bookkeeping and is quoted based on your individual circumstances and the complexity of your tax affairs.

Do you prepare year-end accounts and tax returns?

I provide bookkeeping services for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, including VAT, CIS and payroll where required. For limited companies, I work alongside trusted accountants who prepare year-end statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns and provide specialist tax advice where required.

Is your service remote or in person?

Most services are delivered remotely, allowing me to support clients throughout the UK. Telephone, email, video calls and cloud accounting software make it easy to provide an efficient and flexible service wherever you are based.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on the level of support required, the volume of transactions and the complexity of your bookkeeping. Transparent pricing is available on the Pricing page, and I am always happy to provide a tailored quotation based on your business needs.

    "Following TWB set up of my business, I am now successfully trading throughout the Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge area. Without the support and advice from TWB Simply Bookkeeping, this would have been very much harder and confusing. My cashflow and accounting system is managed by Tracy and TWB provide up to date business status as requested. Great job from Tracy!!

    "I cannot recommend Tracy at TWB Simply Bookkeeping highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly supportive and helpful, guiding me through every stage of setting up my business.

    She has gone above and beyond by assisting me with my first quotes and invoices until I felt confident managing them myself.

    No question is ever too much trouble, and regardless of the time of day, Tracy always responds promptly and professionally. Her knowledge, patience, and dedication have been invaluable to me and my business.

    If you are looking for a reliable, approachable, and highly professional bookkeeper, I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else."

    As my turnover grows, so does the need for up to date bookkeeping and TWB provides exactly this.
