Bookkeeping always the last job on the list?
Weymouth trades on tourism, hospitality, marine work and small independents, and none of them slow down enough to make time for the books. Receipts stack up, the bank feed drifts out of sync, and the quarter-end arrives before the records are ready. It is manageable when someone stays on top of it every month, which is exactly the part that keeps getting pushed back.
- Receipts and invoices piling up until VAT forces a scramble
- Bank feed out of sync, so you never quite trust the balance
- No idea where you stand between one year-end and the next
What sorted looks like
Your books are reconciled every month via Xero, not once a year in a panic. You always know what has come in, what has gone out, and what you owe. The numbers are ready when VAT is due, and clear enough to make decisions from.
- Records kept current monthly, so VAT is never a scramble
- Bank feed reconciled, so the balance you see is the real one
- Management accounts every month, so you always know where you stand
- A fixed monthly fee agreed up front, no surprises on the invoice
What Dorset business owners say
A few words from clients who came in with books in some state of disarray and left with considerably less to worry about.
I switched accountants to work with Annabel because I felt she truly cared about helping businesses to take control of their finances. She opened my eyes to how an accountant actually should work with you! She has fixed so many lazy, unprofessional mistakes by my old accountant by being so meticulously thorough, offering amazing business advice & has saved me thousands! She even went through my dad’s accounts who had been through liquidation & had a really tough time just because she cared & wanted to see if she could help. I 100% trust Annabel & she proves time & time again why it was the best move for my business to switch to her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who genuinely cares, who is meticulously thorough & offers great advice!
I have recently had the pleasure of the wonderful service of Annabel, appointed as my bookkeeper and accountant. Having never been self employed or a limited company before, the support and advice I have had has been extremely helpful and has set my mind at ease knowing that any problems or queries I have will be handled or answered. Friendly, supportive and very quick to respond to any queries or sort advice. I would 100% recommend.
What the fee covers
Bookkeeping is the foundation. Done properly, it feeds VAT, year-end and the monthly numbers you actually use to run the business.
Clean Books, Every Month
Your transactions are recorded, categorised and reconciled monthly in Xero, not left to build up. Bank feeds keep the data current, so the balance you see reflects the business as it actually is. No year-end scramble to reconstruct twelve months at once.
Included as standardVAT-Ready Records
Records are kept in a state that is ready to file when VAT is due, MTD-compliant and reconciled. Your VAT threshold is monitored, so a registration obligation will not creep up on you unexpectedly. When the quarter closes, the numbers are already in order.
MTD compliantNumbers You Can Use
Once the books are current, management accounts follow within five working days of month close. You get the figures that matter, explained in plain English, so you can see margins, cash and where the business is heading. Not just tidy books, but numbers that inform a decision.
Within five working daysMore than one good experience

Why Weymouth businesses work with us
Cloud-based, so being in Weymouth while the practice is in Bournemouth changes nothing about the service you get.
Weymouth, Handled Remotely
The practice is based in Bournemouth, and Weymouth clients are onboarded and supported entirely via Xero, video and phone. In-person meetings happen where practical, but the day-to-day work does not depend on them. Your location is no barrier to getting the books done properly.
An Accountant Who’s Run Businesses
Annabel spent 16 years working inside growing businesses, including as a Finance Director, before setting up the practice. The bookkeeping is accurate, but the advice on top of it is commercial, because she has sat on your side of the desk. You get more than tidy records.
Plain English, No Jargon
Your numbers are explained in a way that helps you make decisions, not in a way that makes an accountant look clever. If something needs your attention, you hear about it clearly. If it does not, you are not buried in spreadsheets you will never read.
Up and running in three steps
Starting is straightforward. Most of the work in moving over sits with us, not you.
Free Discovery Call
A free 20 to 30 minute call. Annabel asks about your business, your current setup and what is keeping you up at night. You get honest advice whether you become a client or not.
Tailored Proposal
A proposal built around your specific situation, not a template tier. It is scoped to what your business actually needs, with a fixed monthly fee agreed up front and no surprises.
We Handle The Handover
We take the admin off your plate and manage the move from your current setup or previous accountant. You do very little. Your books are running properly in Xero from day one.
Books You Never Chase
From then on your records stay current every month and the numbers arrive on time. Less of your evenings spent reconciling, and a clearer view of where the business stands, which is frankly the way it should be.

Her support and knowledge have been superb, and I now see her as a vital part of my business and its continued growth. Thank you, Annabel, for all your help; you truly live up to your company name!”
A few things worth knowing
Do I need to be in Weymouth for this to work?
No. The practice is based in Bournemouth and Weymouth clients are supported remotely via Xero, video and phone. Everything from onboarding to monthly bookkeeping is handled in the cloud, with in-person meetings where they are genuinely useful. Being in Weymouth makes no difference to the standard of the work.
What does bookkeeping cost?
There is no published price list, because no two businesses have the same volume of transactions or scope of work. Fees are scoped to your situation on the free discovery call, then fixed as a monthly amount agreed up front. You know what you are paying before anything starts.
My books are behind and a bit of a mess. Can you sort it?
Yes, this is a common starting point. We can clear a backlog and clean up the records before setting up the monthly routine, so you begin from an accurate position. Catch-up work is scoped separately and quoted clearly, so you know the cost before we begin rather than after.
Am I locked into a long contract?
No long-term contract. There is an initial three-month settling-in period, after which either side can walk away. If it is not working, you leave with clean books and nothing outstanding.
Do you keep my VAT and MTD records in order?
Yes. Records are kept MTD-compliant and reconciled in Xero, so they are ready to file when each VAT quarter closes. Your VAT threshold is monitored too, so a registration obligation will not appear out of nowhere.
Will I actually understand my numbers, or just receive reports?
Once the books are current, management accounts follow within five working days of month close, explained in plain English. You get the figures that matter for decisions, not a spreadsheet you have to decode. If something needs your attention, you will know about it clearly.
