CAO Bookkeeping Services have been my best investment in my company’s financial future. Their friendly and competent service has been a real asset to Richmond Rocks throughout the last three years. I don’t know how I would have survived without their help through the maze of SMP while still keeping my accounts up to date.

Anthea has been my bookkeeper for the past few years. I have been extremely happy with the results and it is a pleasure to have Anthea working on my accounts. Anthea communicates well and gives essential feedback as to the progress of the work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services of CAO Bookkeeping Services.

Questions Clients Ask

How much does a bookkeeper cost?

Our bookkeeping and VAT returns are from £20 an hour plus VAT, and payroll is from £3 a payslip. Your first meeting is free, we mainly bill per job, and there is no minimum term. See our prices.

Do I still need an accountant if I have a bookkeeper?

If you run a limited company, yes: we do the bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and day-to-day accounting, and your accountant prepares the statutory accounts and Corporation Tax return from the clean records we pass them. For sole traders and partnerships we can also complete your Self Assessment return.

We work with small businesses across North Lincolnshire, including Scunthorpe, Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber and the surrounding villages, as well as North East Lincolnshire and East and South Yorkshire, including Hull and Doncaster. Our office is in Flixborough, and visits are by appointment.

What happens to my payroll if you are on holiday or ill?

Your payroll still runs. Cover is provided by one of Anthea’s trusted contacts, at no extra fee. See payroll.

Which software do you use?

IRIS, Sage, Xero and Staffology. We can work in your own software or in ours.
