The reviewer's call
Software is up on last month because two seats were added mid-month, so next month's run-rate is higher still. Confirm both seats are needed before the annual renewal.

How your close runs
Reconciled all month, so month end is a review rather than a rebuild
Finbryn handles bookkeeping for UK limited companies and sole traders in Xero or QuickBooks Online. Accounts are reconciled weekly, the month is closed by the fifth working day, and every set of figures is checked by a senior reviewer before it reaches you. Prices are published in pounds sterling, and the ledger stays registered to your company.
- What changed
- Revenue rose on last month.
- Why it matters
- One milestone invoice made up most of the rise, and it will not repeat next month.
- What to do
- Plan next month's cash on recurring revenue only, and chase the milestone invoice by its due date.
Illustrative note. The kind of judgment every pack carries.
Every week
Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to their statements. Questions go to you while they are fresh.
Month end
Last transactions coded, accruals and prepaid items posted, open items listed with what we need from you.
Before it is sent
A senior reviewer checks every reconciliation and reads the numbers against last month.
By business day five
The pack arrives: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash, open items and a written note.
How we work
Four habits we do not vary
The ledger is registered to you
Your Xero or QuickBooks Online subscription carries your company's name, not ours. Move providers and the file, with its full history, moves with you.
Records that suit Making Tax Digital
VAT-registered companies, and sole traders moving onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, keep digital records in software that can submit, with the figures prepared and checked every month.
Sent at six, settled by nine
Anything you send by 6:00 PM is reviewed and closed before 9:00 AM the next working day, so you open the laptop to a current ledger.
One named pod, tracked handovers
The same pod keeps your ledger month after month. Any staffing change comes with a written handover note, so nothing about your file is relearned from scratch.

Questions
What people ask before they call
Does anyone check the work before I see it?
Yes. A senior reviewer looks over the coding and reconciliation on every account before figures are sent to you.
If I stop using Finbryn, do I lose my records?
No. The ledger sits in a subscription your company controls, so leaving does not mean losing the file or its history.
Will you file my VAT return or my Corporation Tax return?
We prepare the figures and the working papers behind them. Submission is handled by you, or by a credentialed signer or a UK agent you appoint, in line with HMRC's rules.
How quickly will I hear back?
Write to your pod and the first written reply comes within one business hour, from someone who already knows your ledger.
Industries
Books set up for how your business actually earns
The chart of accounts, the reconciliations and the monthly note change with the model. Three examples:
- Ecommerce (Amazon and Shopify)Bookkeeping for online sellers on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy and their own storefronts, built around clean payout and sales tax data.Where the books usually hurt
- Marketplace payouts land as one lump sum that hides sales, fees, refunds and reserves
- Cost of goods sold gets estimated instead of tracked by SKU and inventory location
- Construction and job costingBookkeeping for contractors and builders who need cost and profitability tracked by job, not just by month.Where the books usually hurt
- Labor, materials and subcontractor costs get lumped into general expense accounts instead of assigned to a job
- Work in progress does not get calculated, so profitability on active jobs is a guess until the job closes
- Agencies and consultanciesBookkeeping for marketing agencies, design studios and consulting firms billing clients on retainers and project fees.Where the books usually hurt
- Retainer income gets booked as cash received instead of spread across the service period it covers
- Contractor and subcontractor payments pile up in accounts payable without a clear view of project margin
