What is Bookkeeping?

At Prosper, bookkeeping isn’t just a tick-box exercise, it’s a key part of helping your business stay in control.

We’ve worked with too many business owners who’ve said, “I don’t know what my accountant actually does for me” or “no one ever explains the numbers.” That’s not how we operate.

We give you accurate, up-to-date records, but more importantly, we help you understand them, so you can make confident, informed decisions.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just clear, useful bookkeeping that supports your goals.

We’ve also heard from one of our clients that they cancelled a service with a previous accountant, but their fees weren’t reduced!
That’s not the way Prosper Accountancy works.

Bookkeeping softwares we use

We work with all major bookkeeping systems, from QuickBooks to Sage, FreeAgent, and more, so whatever you’re using, we can support it.

But if you're looking for a recommendation, Xero is our favourite. It's clean, powerful, and gives you and us a real-time view of your finances.

We’ll meet you where you are and help you get the most out of whatever system works best for your business.

We get to know you, your business, and your plans and goals.

Bookkeeping for all stages of business

Sole Trader

If you're self-employed, the last thing you want is to be buried in spreadsheets and receipts.

We’ll keep your books tidy, up to date, and ready for your Self Assessment, so you know where you stand and can focus on your business, not the admin.

Clear records. No hassle. Total peace of mind.

Limited Companies

Bookkeeping for limited companies needs more structure, from reconciling multiple accounts to tracking VAT, payroll, and expenses.

We’ll ensure everything is accurate, compliant, and easy to understand, with regular reporting and hands-on support whenever you need it.

You stay in control. We stay proactive.

Growing Limited Companies

As your company grows, so does the need for smarter, more strategic bookkeeping.

We provide detailed reporting, cashflow insight, forecasting support, and multi-user access to keep your whole team aligned.

Accurate books. Smarter decisions. Stronger growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our work process.

What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is all about keeping your day-to-day records in order, logging income, expenses, receipts, and bank transactions. Accounting takes that information and turns it into reports, tax returns, and advice to support your business decisions.

What does a bookkeeper do?

A bookkeeper records and organises your financial data, so everything is accurate, up to date, and ready for tax time. They’ll manage receipts, invoices, bank reconciliations, and software entries, giving you clarity and saving you hours each month.

How much is our bookkeeping service?

Our fees are fixed and tailored to your business size and setup. We’ll give you a clear, upfront quote after a short discovery call, no hidden extras, no surprises. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.

Are bookkeeping fees tax deductible?

Yes, bookkeeping and accountancy fees are generally tax-deductible as a business expense, as long as the work relates to your business’s trading activities.

Can a bookkeeper prepare financial statements?

Yes, a qualified bookkeeper can prepare basic financial statements like profit and loss reports and balance sheets. For more complex accounts or submissions, we’ll handle those as your accountant, or work alongside your existing one.
