Frequently Asked Questions — Bookkeeping Services London
Do I need a bookkeeper for my small business in London?
Yes — if you’re running any kind of business in London, accurate bookkeeping is essential. It ensures your VAT returns are correct, your tax bills are calculated properly, and you have a clear picture of your cash flow. Many small business owners try to manage their own books and end up with errors that cost them more in accountant fees or HMRC penalties than a bookkeeper would have. A professional bookkeeper pays for itself.
How often will my books be updated?
This depends on your business needs. We offer monthly, quarterly, and annual bookkeeping services. For most active businesses, we recommend monthly bookkeeping so that you always have up-to-date management accounts and any VAT obligations are tracked in real time.
What accounting software do you use?
We primarily use Xero, which is the leading cloud accounting platform in the UK. We also work with QuickBooks and FreeAgent. If you’re not currently using any accounting software, we’ll set you up and train you on how to use it so you can view your numbers anytime.
Can you take over from my current bookkeeper?
Absolutely. We handle the transition smoothly and professionally. We’ll review your existing records, identify any issues, bring everything up to date, and take over the ongoing bookkeeping so you don’t experience any disruption to your business.
Is bookkeeping the same as accounting?
Not exactly. Bookkeeping involves recording and categorising your day-to-day financial transactions. Accounting is a higher-level function that involves interpreting those records, producing statutory accounts, filing tax returns, and providing strategic financial advice. At ProKeeper, we offer both — so you can get everything under one roof. See our Annual Accounts & Tax Returns and Virtual CFO services for more.
