Bookkeeping Services
Compare UK bookkeeping services from £25/month — bank reconciliation, cloud software and monthly reporting. Get matched with a qualified bookkeeper.
Bookkeeping is the foundation of accurate accounts and tax returns. UK businesses increasingly use cloud software — Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent — with accountants or bookkeepers handling reconciliation, categorisation, and monthly reporting.
Do I need a bookkeeper as well as an accountant?
Hire a bookkeeper if bank feeds, invoices and VAT coding eat your week. Skip a separate bookkeeper if your accountant already includes monthly books in the package — paying twice for the same ledger is the usual waste. Many UK firms sell both under one fee.
Bookkeepers record day-to-day transactions; accountants prepare statutory accounts, tax returns and advice. The split is real, but the invoice often is not — look at the engagement letter, not the job title. MTD for VAT already requires digital records; MTD for Income Tax from April 2026 does the same for qualifying sole traders and landlords.
How much do UK bookkeeping services cost?
On Pick My Accountant editorial benchmarks, UK bookkeeping typically costs £25–£75 per month on top of, or inside, a core accountancy package. Volume, VAT and payroll push the fee up. Confirm whether software is included before you compare headlines.
The low end is a sole trader with one bank feed and no VAT. The high end is a busy limited company with receipts arriving in photos. Ask who actually codes the transactions — a named bookkeeper, offshore processing, or the partner you met once.

Bookkeeper vs accountant — what's the difference?▼
Bookkeepers record day-to-day transactions; accountants prepare statutory accounts, tax returns, and provide advisory services. Many UK firms offer both.
