What Our Bookkeeping Service Covers
Our expert bookkeeping services help you make better business decisions with accurate financial records that make sense of your numbers. From day-to-day transaction recording to VAT returns and financial reporting, your financial data will be ready whenever you need it.
Transaction Recording
Get income and expenses that are recorded accurately and kept up to date, giving you dependable financial records you can rely on for decisions big and small.
Bank Reconciliation
We regularly review your bank accounts against your bookkeeping records and fix any discrepancies, so you have complete confidence in your numbers.
VAT Returns
VAT prepared and filed under Making Tax Digital, accurately and on time, helping you meet HMRC requirements without the last-minute rush.
Accounts Preparation
Keep your books organised in time for your annual accounts. We reduce corrections, missing information, and extra work to speed up the year-end process.
Credit Control
Get paid, keep your cash flow healthy, and regain your valuable time. We monitor outstanding balances and send payment reminders on your behalf.
Financial Reporting
We turn your bookkeeping data into useful information with clear, timely reports. If a specific figure matters to you, we’ll build it into your reporting.
Whether you are a sole trader, small business, limited company, or part of a larger organisation, we can adapt the level of support to fit your business needs.
Benefits of Professional Bookkeeping Services
Running a business without accurate, up-to-date books creates issues that often go unnoticed until they become expensive. But with our expert bookkeepers, your records are maintained as part of an established process.
When this happens, you get:
- A clear cash position, so you can plan spending, manage cash flow, and make confident business decisions
- A true understanding of your profitability, by product, service, or project
- Bookkeeping support that includes VAT returns preparation as standard
- A year-end that runs smoothly because the hard work has already been done
- More time back instead of chasing paperwork or correcting records
And as your business grows, good bookkeeping becomes even more valuable. Higher transaction volumes, additional business bank accounts, more staff, or increasingly complex tax rules all put greater demands on your finance function. For many growing SMEs in London, outsourcing gives you the extra capacity and expertise you need without the cost of hiring in-house.
Additional specialist bookkeeping services
We don’t just handle day-to-day bookkeeping. From stock control to project accounting, we also take care of more complex requirements and keep your books aligned with your business objectives.
We maintain stock by SKU, reconcile costs, and make sure your opening and closing stock balances reflect accurate valuations rather than estimates. This gives you a true gross margin and a clear view of inventory movements.
We track income and expenses by project and process accruals, prepayments, and deferred income so you can see the profit or loss for each project. This service is structured for companies with ongoing projects. We can also track by multiple locations.
By accounting for raw materials and assembly costs accurately, across clients and projects, we give you a true Work-In-Progress (WIP) position. Our technical knowledge of bookkeeping means we trace manufacturing costs accurately.
Acting as an extra set of eyes on your books, our shadow bookkeeping provides internal controls, sound audit trails, and independent financial verification. It’s valuable for stakeholders who require impartial assurance, and it’s a service we provide for FCA-regulated firms.
How We Work With You
Good bookkeeping starts with a defined process. At Braant, we follow a structured approach that keeps your records accurate and your business informed.
Review and Structure
We review your existing records, accounting software, and bookkeeping system. Where needed, we put clear processes in place so your bookkeeping stays consistent going forward.
Ongoing Monthly Management
Transactions are recorded and reconciled monthly, weekly, or even daily. VAT is prepared on time. Reports are delivered consistently, not reactively.
Clear Communication
You have direct contact with your assigned bookkeeper managing your records. Questions are answered promptly. At year-end, your records are complete, organised, and ready for reporting.
Flexible Bookkeeping, Built Around Your Business
Every business operates differently. Some prefer bookkeeping handled remotely. Others require on-site support, either regularly or at key points in the year. We offer a flexible bookkeeping service to suit how your business runs.
Off-Site Bookkeeping
We manage your bookkeeping remotely from our offices. Transactions are maintained with regular reporting so you’re informed on your company’s financial position.
- Bookkeeping managed from our offices
- Records shared securely via the likes of Dropbox or email
- Ongoing reporting to keep you informed of deadlines and performance
On-Site Bookkeeping
If your business requires a bookkeeper on location, we can provide qualified support at your office anywhere in the UK, on a regular or occasional basis.
- A qualified bookkeeper located at your office
- Regular or occasional on-site bookkeeping
- Often suited to larger organisations
On & Off-Site Bookkeeping
Some businesses benefit from a combination of both. For example, on-site bookkeeping for key processes, with day-to-day bookkeeping managed off-site.
- A blended approach tailored to your operations
- Flexibility as your requirements change
- Consistent standards across both delivery models
What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from businesses who trust us to keep their records accurate and organised.
“We have been using Braant's services for over 3 years, as monthly support to our bookkeeper, and would gladly recommend them!”
“Braant are a safe pair of hands. Excellent service, 100% accuracy. I use them for bookkeeping but they back even bookkeeping up with the full range of accounting knowledge you'd expect from experts. I'm getting far more than I pay for. They took my bookkeeping over and were immediately on the ball. Wholeheartedly recommend them. My other accountants cant match this level of service. I finally feel I'm getting value for money from an accountant.”
