The exact timetable and records depend on the agreed engagement. We document the recurring work before it begins.

Monthly bookkeeping

  • Reconcile the agreed bank accounts
  • Post and review the records supplied for the period
  • Resolve bookkeeping questions before they carry forward
  • Close the month on the agreed timetable

Year-end accounts

  • Prepare the annual accounts
  • Review year-end balances and supporting records
  • Explain the figures before the accounts are finalised
  • Agree any separate filing or tax work in writing

Start with a written scope, not assumptions.

We agree what moves between us, when the records close and which work needs a separate instruction.

Getting started

  • Confirm the records and access we need
  • Review the current bookkeeping position
  • Agree responsibilities, timing and communication

What we need from you

  • Send complete records by the agreed dates
  • Answer questions that affect how transactions are recorded
  • Tell us when the business or its systems change

What is not included

  • Payroll, VAT returns and tax filings
  • Historic corrections outside the agreed starting position
  • Work or advice not recorded in the engagement scope

Reporting without a mystery layer.

Closing the records is useful when you can see what changed, what is unresolved and what deserves a conversation.

A close conversation can cover

  • What changed in the records
  • Which items still need an answer
  • What the current position means for the next decision

Common bookkeeping questions.

The written engagement remains the source of truth for your exact scope, timetable and responsibilities.

What does monthly bookkeeping cover?

The agreed recurring work can include posting records, reconciling accounts, resolving queries and closing the period to a timetable.

What if the records need historic corrections?

We review the starting position first. Any historic correction work is scoped separately before recurring bookkeeping begins.

Can Tax Bridge also help with VAT, payroll or business tax?

These are related services. We confirm which work is needed and record each responsibility in the engagement scope.
