Balanced Books Bookkeeping
Tidy books and clear monthly reports for small businesses
About us
Balanced Books Bookkeeping keeps the books for small businesses that would rather run the business than chase receipts. We record income and spending, reconcile bank and card accounts every month, run payroll and prepare the monthly reports that show an owner where the business stands. Clients send us what they have, and we turn it into records that are complete, current and easy to read.
Our clients include shop owners, tradespeople, studio managers and online sellers, along with the accountants who depend on tidy records at year end. We explain every report in plain words, we keep everything you share with us confidential and we leave your business decisions with you. The numbers behind those decisions are our job.
Our vision
We want every small business owner to open their monthly report with confidence instead of dread.
Our mission
Our mission is to keep small business records accurate, current and confidential, and to explain them in plain words.
Our values
Accuracy
Every figure is matched to a bank line, a receipt or an invoice, and we ask when something does not add up.
Confidentiality
What you share with us stays between us, and we ask only for the access your books need.
Plain language
We explain reports without jargon, so you can read them and act on them.
Steady rhythm
We work to a monthly routine, so your records stay current rather than piling up.
Our services
Monthly bookkeeping
We record sales, bills, expenses and bank transactions each month and keep the supporting records that sales tax and VAT returns are built from.
Bank and card reconciliation
We match every bank and card line to your books each month and chase the differences until the accounts agree.
Payroll
We run payroll for your staff on the schedule you set and keep the payslips and records in order.
Monthly reports
We prepare a profit and loss report and a balance sheet each month, with a short note in plain words on what changed.
Catch-up and clean-up projects
If your books have fallen behind or need correcting, we work through the backlog month by month and hand back records you can rely on.
Year-end handover
We assemble the records and reports your accountant asks for at year end, so there is no scramble for missing paperwork.
Who we serve
We work with owners of small shops, cafes, trades businesses, studios and online stores who have outgrown a spreadsheet and a box of receipts. Some have staff and need payroll run on schedule, and some are sole operators who simply want their records current. We also work alongside accountants and tax preparers who want a dependable source of tidy records for their own clients.
Why choose us
