Sound familiar?
- Paperwork on Sunday nights, invoicing at ten o'clock — you get those evenings back.
- You know what you turned over — but what any one job actually made you, once materials went through three different cards, is another story.
- Between CIS coming off, the reverse charge and materials going through two or three merchant accounts, by the time a job settles it looks nothing like the quote did.
- Grant or scheme work (BUS, ECO4, the rest): the money comes off the quote up front, and the voucher lands months after the install. In between, your cash position is guesswork.
- HMRC's quarterly filing rules — live since April 2026. We make them a non-event.
One page a month that tells you how you're actually doing
Every month you get one page, in English: money in, money out, what's left, what to put aside for tax, and one thing worth knowing — like which jobs made you money and which didn't. No spreadsheets, no jargon, read it in the van in two minutes.
That's not a mock-up either — have a look at a real month, from a real set of books. Mine, as it happens.
Never find out about a deadline the hard way again

Back Office — for firms drowning in certification paperwork
Everything in Firm, plus the paperwork that eats your evenings: Gas Safe and OFTEC notifications, NICEIC or NAPIT records, MCS and Consumer Code evidence packs, BUS grant admin under the April 2026 rules, subbie verification and scheduling support — and a monthly call with someone who's actually run operations. There's no price on the website because it depends on your firm. We shape it on a call.

How much does an accountant cost for a tradesman?
One fixed fee, and it depends where you're at. £69 a month if you're a CIS subbie and just want HMRC dealt with and your refund claimed. £149 for a sole trader who wants the one page a month showing what he's actually making. £249 once you're VAT registered or paying subbies, £395 with staff. Every filing's included, there's no per-return charge, and the first two prices are what you pay, nothing added.
Do I need an accountant or a bookkeeper?
Most one-man bands need the books done properly and the filings in on time — that's me. Ltd year-end accounts get lined up separately. Either way you've got one number to ring.
Can you sort my books if I'm behind?
Yep. The catch-up gets quoted as a one-off before you commit, so there are no surprises, and then the monthly fee takes over. Start with a WhatsApp or the form and I'll ring you.
