Sectors We Work With

Over more than 25 years our team has kept the books for a wide range of London businesses and individuals. Each sector has its own rhythms, paperwork and pressure points. Understanding them means we can keep your records accurate and useful, and have them ready for your accountant when the year end comes round.

Whatever your sector, our approach is the same: personal, face to face where you want it, and with a named member of our team who looks after every aspect of your bookkeeping.

Entertainment and voice agencies

Agencies sit in the middle of a flow of money between clients, artists and suppliers. Fees are received on behalf of talent, commission is deducted and the balance paid on, often with VAT applying differently at each stage. Keeping those flows clearly separated is essential.

TV and film production

Production companies work project by project, with budgets, freelance crews and a wide range of suppliers. Owners and producers need to see where money is going on each production as well as across the company as a whole.

Publishing

Publishers deal with printers, distributors, freelance editors and designers, and authors' royalties and advances. Accurate ledgers make it far easier to manage cash flow and prepare royalty information.

Solicitors and barristers

Legal practices need clear, well-organised office records. Solicitors who hold client money must also keep client account records separate from office money, and those records are subject to their regulator's rules and reporting requirements.

Barristers, who are usually self-employed, can benefit from our Self Assessment and MTD Income Tax support.

Self-employed creatives and freelancers

Voice artists, actors, presenters, writers, designers and production freelancers often have income arriving from several agents and clients at once. With Making Tax Digital for Income Tax now in force for those with qualifying income over £50,000, and lower thresholds to follow in 2027 and 2028, good digital records matter more than ever.

Landlords and private individuals

Whether you let a single flat or manage several properties, rental records need to be kept property by property. Private individuals may also want help organising paperwork or employing household staff.

Small limited companies and partnerships

Limited companies must file accounts at Companies House and a corporation tax return with HMRC, while partnerships file a partnership return each year. Both depend on accurate, reconciled books.

How we work with every sector

Although each sector is different, the way we work is consistent. We start with a free initial conversation, by phone or at our office at 79 Maiden Lane in Camden, to understand your business and the records you keep. We then agree the frequency of bookkeeping that suits you, whether daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual, and whether you prefer software or manual books. Your named bookkeeper keeps your records up to date, handles VAT and payroll where needed, and prepares everything your accountant requires at the year end. You always know who to call, and that person already knows your affairs.
