Sound familiar?
Behind on the books again?
A lot of owner-managed businesses reach the end of the quarter — or the year — and realise the bookkeeping has not been touched since January. The bank feed is unreconciled, the VAT figure is a guess, and whatever Xero or QuickBooks shows almost certainly does not match reality. It is not laziness; it is that running a business leaves very little time for the books.
- VAT return due and the figures are not ready to file
- Months of bank transactions sitting unreconciled in the cloud system
- No clear picture of whether the business made money this quarter
What current looks like
When the bookkeeping is managed monthly, these problems largely stop happening. Your VAT is ready when it needs to be. Your bank is reconciled. Your figures mean something. That is the point of keeping the books current.
- VAT submissions prepared from clean, current figures — no last-minute scramble
- Bank transactions reconciled monthly, nothing left sitting unmatched
- Monthly profit and cash position visible in your cloud platform at any time
- Fixed monthly fee, no surprise invoices when the work takes longer

Everything in your monthly bookkeeping service
The scope is clear before we start, and the fee does not change mid-year. Here is what the monthly retainer covers.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Every month your transactions are categorised, your bank is reconciled, and your accounts are brought fully up to date in Xero or QuickBooks Online. Nothing is left to pile up. If something looks unusual, you hear about it before it becomes a problem.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Your quarterly VAT return is prepared from your reconciled books and submitted under Making Tax Digital. The figures are reviewed before filing, so there are no errors caused by unreconciled data or miscategorised transactions. Registration, scheme changes, and annual accounting are all handled.
Included for VAT-registered businessesCloud Setup, Migration, and Catch-Up
If you are not yet on cloud accounting, or your current setup needs sorting, we handle the migration. Xero and QuickBooks Online are both available, with integrations configured to match how your business actually operates. If the books are behind, catch-up work is scoped and priced separately before anything starts.

What sets this service apart
There are plenty of cloud bookkeeping services. Here is what makes this one worth the conversation.
Xero and QuickBooks, properly set up
Being certified in both Xero and QuickBooks Online means the platform is configured for your business from day one — correct chart of accounts, bank feeds connected, rules and integrations in place. You do not pay monthly for a system that needs fixing before it is useful.
Over 20 years of practical experience
Supreme Consulting has been working with small businesses, contractors, and property investors since 2005. The bookkeeping questions that trip up newer practices — mixed personal and business transactions, CIS deductions, VAT schemes, director’s loan accounts — are handled without needing to be explained first.
Fixed fee, no surprises
The monthly fee is agreed at the start and does not move unless the scope does. There are no hourly rate conversations, no invoices arriving for work you did not know was happening, and no incentive on our side to let the books fall behind.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully set up and operating on cloud bookkeeping within a couple of weeks. Here is how it goes.
A quick discovery call
A no-obligation conversation to understand your business, your current setup, and what the books look like right now. There is nothing to prepare. You will leave the call with a clear idea of what is involved and what it costs.
A clear, fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written proposal covering exactly what is included, the monthly fee, and any one-off setup or catch-up work needed. No vague scope, no hourly estimates. You decide whether to proceed.
Onboarding and cloud setup
We handle the migration to Xero or QuickBooks Online, connect your bank feeds, configure the integrations, and bring any outstanding bookkeeping up to date. The work required from you is minimal — mostly access and a few confirmations.
Current books, every month
From that point on, your bookkeeping is handled monthly. Your VAT is ready when it needs to be. Your figures are current. You can look at your cloud platform at any time and know the numbers mean something, which is, frankly, how it should always have been.
“Stuart is a thorough efficient worker who produces good quality results at a reasonable price.”
Things people usually ask before starting
Which cloud accounting platforms do you use, and do I have to switch to one you prefer?
Supreme Consulting is certified in both Xero and QuickBooks Online. If you are already on one of them, we work with what you have. If you are on spreadsheets or older desktop software, we will recommend a migration and handle it as part of onboarding. The platform choice is based on your business type and how you work, not on which one is easier for us.
What does cloud bookkeeping cost, and what is actually included in the monthly fee?
Pricing is fixed and agreed before any work starts. The monthly retainer covers transaction categorisation, bank reconciliation, and keeping your accounts current each month. VAT return preparation and submission is included for VAT-registered businesses. Any catch-up or setup work required is scoped separately and priced clearly upfront. There are no hourly rates and no mid-year price changes unless the scope changes.
My books are a mess — months behind and probably categorised wrong. Can you still take that on?
Yes, and it is not uncommon. Before the ongoing service starts, we assess what catch-up work is needed and give you a separate fixed quote for it. Once the books are clean and current, the monthly service begins. You will not be penalised for historical disorganisation — it is simply scoped, priced, and sorted.
Is there a minimum contract or a penalty if I want to leave?
There is no long-term lock-in. The arrangement is month-to-month once any initial setup period is complete. If you decide to move to a different accountant, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and all your data accessible. Nothing is held back.
Will the bookkeeping integrate with my invoicing, payroll, or e-commerce platform?
Both Xero and QuickBooks Online connect to a wide range of third-party tools — invoicing apps, payment processors, payroll platforms, and e-commerce channels including Shopify and Amazon. During onboarding we identify which integrations make sense for your setup and configure them, so data flows in automatically rather than being entered manually.
Will I be able to see my profit and tax position during the year, not just at year-end?
When the books are kept current monthly, your cloud platform gives you an accurate picture of income, expenditure, and profit at any point during the year. For clients who want a more structured view, quarterly management accounts and cash flow summaries are available as an add-on. Either way, the year-end accounts process is considerably less stressful when the underlying bookkeeping is already clean.
