Why Cloud Bookkeeping Beats Spreadsheets
If you’re still tracking your business in a spreadsheet (or in your head), here’s what cloud bookkeeping gives you:
Real-time visibility
see what you’ve earned, spent and owe at any moment
HMRC compliance
MTD for VAT (since 2022) and MTD for Income Tax (from April 2026) both require digital records
Time back
receipts captured via phone in seconds, not hours at the kitchen table
Better decisions
you can’t grow what you can’t measure
We set up the software, train you in 30 minutes, and handle the heavy lifting from there.
Who Our Bookkeeping Service Is For
Sole traders
who hate paperwork and want their books done properly — without learning Xero themselves.
Limited companies
that want monthly numbers they can actually trust, not a chaotic January scramble.
VAT-registered businesses
that need quarterly returns filed accurately and on time — every time.
Growing businesses
approaching the VAT threshold (£90,000 turnover) who want their bookkeeping ready before they have to register.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Leeds?
At JLS Accountants, monthly bookkeeping starts at £45 per month for a small sole trader (around 50 transactions per month). Limited companies with VAT, payroll and multiple bank accounts typically sit between £150 and £350 per month, fixed fee. We give every client a fixed quote after reviewing their volumes.
I need to Dobe VAT registered?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period (the 2026 threshold). Some businesses register voluntarily below that to reclaim VAT on expenses. We’ll advise on what makes sense for you.
Is cloud accounting safe?
Yes. Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent all use bank-level encryption and are HMRC-recognised for MTD submission. They’re significantly more secure than spreadsheets on a laptop.
Can I see my numbers in real time?
Yes. With cloud bookkeeping, you can log in 24/7 on your phone, tablet or computer and see exactly where your business stands. We’ll set the dashboard up for you.
Do you offer bookkeeping without accountancy?
Yes, but most clients find it more cost-effective to bundle both. Standalone bookkeeping is available from £45/month.
