What I do
Four services. Most clients start with the first and add the third once they trust the numbers.
Monthly bookkeeping and close
Categorisation, bank and card reconciliation, receivables and payables review, adjusting entries, and a closed month you can rely on.
Cleanup and catch-up
Months or years of unreconciled books brought current, with a written list of every item I could not resolve rather than a silent guess.
Cost and profitability analysis
Profit per machine, per job and per operating hour. Utilisation, fuel per hour, budget variance — the numbers a general ledger will never show you.
Reporting automation
Excel models and Power BI dashboards that rebuild themselves when new data arrives, plus scripts for recurring reconciliations.
Sample work
Built on fictional data for demonstration. Client files are never shown.
How we start
No quote before I have seen the file. Any price given earlier is a guess, and you would pay for it.
- You send one monthA ledger export, your bank and card statements, and accountant access to your accounting software.
- I send back a one-page reviewWhat is unreconciled, what is miscategorised, what is missing — with figures, at no charge.
- We agree a fixed scope and priceA monthly fee with a written transaction and account limit. Cleanup is quoted separately and once.
- You get the month closed on a fixed dateThree statements, receivables ageing, and a short note on what moved and why.
