Clean books to trial balance — and the automation that keeps them clean.
Most bookkeeping support hands back work you have to check line by line. I hand back a reconciled trial balance, a documented list of what I could not resolve, and where it makes sense, a Power Query model so next month takes minutes instead of days.
Not a practice? I also work directly with business owners with messy or backlogged books.
Two ways people use me
Accountancy practices
Overflow capacity when month-end or year-end stacks up. Client books taken to trial balance, VAT returns prepared for your review, and the internal spreadsheets your team rebuilds every month turned into something that refreshes on a button.

Business owners
Behind, half-categorised, or dreading the deadline. I get the backlog cleared and reconciled, show you plainly where the money actually went, and set up something simple enough that it does not fall apart again.

Why the automation matters
I spend my working week in group and European financial reporting — consolidations, intercompany, month-end close. The part that transfers is not the reporting. It is the habit of never doing the same reconciliation by hand twice.
So when I clean a set of books, I also look at what made them messy. Usually it is a spreadsheet someone rebuilds every month, a copy-paste step that silently drops rows, or a coding rule that lives in one person's head. Those get fixed, or the mess comes back.
Nothing is ever guessed. If I cannot identify a transaction, it goes on an exceptions list with what I know about it and what I need from you. It does not get coded to a suspense account and forgotten.
- Reconciled to source, not to a plausible-looking total
- Every workbook checked for formula errors before it leaves
- Fixed scope and price agreed in writing before I start
- Your data stays in the UK and is never used to train anything
