Modern bookkeeping services for Sole Traders & Small Businesses

With a personal touch and no hidden fees

At Balanced Books by Bernie, I provide friendly, reliable bookkeeping support for sole traders and small businesses who want help staying organised, compliant, and confident with their finances.

I’m a qualified bookkeeper based in Surbiton, supporting clients locally in Kingston upon Thames and surrounding areas, as well as across the UK remotely.

Bookkeeping fees

I usually work with fixed bookkeeping packages, but I completely understand that every business is different. That’s why I’m always happy to create customised packages tailored to your specific needs.

I’m a fully qualified and licensed bookkeeper with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), providing clear, reliable bookkeeping with no jargon and no hidden costs. I take pride in delivering a high-quality service and supporting my clients every step of the way.

My fees start from £75 per month for businesses that need minimal support, making it a great option for small or early-stage businesses. As your business grows, you can easily add services, or scale things back if your situation changes — flexibility is always built in.

A free initial consultation is included to help confirm the right package for your business and make sure you’re getting exactly the support you need.

Let's Get Started

Not sure which package is right? Don’t worry — we’ll go through everything during your free consultation and tailor it to your business.

What’s included in your bookkeeping package

Each package is designed around your business and typically includes bank reconciliation, expense and income categorisation, software support and regular check-ins. The level of reporting and support varies by package and transaction volume.

Prices are based on average monthly transaction volumes and the level of support required. If your business grows, becomes VAT registered, or requires additional work, your package and pricing may be reviewed.

Additional Services

Let's Get Started

Alongside my monthly bookkeeping packages, I offer a range of additional services that can be added as and when you need them. This flexible approach means you only pay for the support that’s right for your business — whether you’re just starting out or continuing to grow.

All additional services can be added to any package or can be provided as standalone support where appropriate. If you’re unsure what you need, I’ll be happy to guide you during your free initial consultation.

* MTD for Income Tax submissions require digital records to be maintained in line with HMRC requirements. Pricing depends on record quality and whether bookkeeping support is included.

All services, pricing and scope of work are agreed in advance following a free, no-obligation consultation.
