Sound familiar?

Bookkeeping shouldn't be this stressful.

Most UK directors we speak to tell us the same story. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

You're shoving receipts in a drawer.

Year-end panic, missed deductions, hours reconstructing what happened in March. There is a better way.

VAT quarters sneak up on you.

If your books aren't continuously reconciled, every VAT return becomes a fire drill — and mistakes cost interest.

Your year-end costs double because books are messy.

Accountants who have to clean up your records charge for that time. Clean books mean a cheap, fast year-end.

Common questions

FAQs about Bookkeeping

Still not sure? Email a chartered accountant directly — we reply the same working day.

Do I need a phone call to get started?

No. Fill the Get a Quote form and we will reply within a working day with a fixed price.

Are you ICAEW Chartered Accountants?

Yes. Ballards Online is led by ICAEW-chartered accountants with over 20 years of UK tax and compliance experience.

What if I missed a filing deadline?

We can still help — late filings attract automatic penalties from Companies House, but we will minimise additional costs and file quickly.

Is my company dormant?

If you have had no significant accounting transactions during the year, your company is dormant. You still have to file dormant accounts annually.

Which bookkeeping software do you support?

Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. We can migrate you from a spreadsheet if needed.

Can you do my payroll?

Yes — RTI payroll from £15 per employee per month, including auto-enrolment, payslips, P60s and year-end returns.
