Sound familiar?
Books behind, numbers unclear, year-end looming.
A lot of London business owners run their books themselves until they cannot any more. Receipts accumulate, bank feeds go unreconciled for months, and the picture of where the business actually stands becomes increasingly hard to read. By the time an accountant is brought in, there is usually more catch-up work than anyone budgeted for. None of this is unusual, and none of it is permanent.
- Bank statements and software records that do not match up at year-end
- No clear view of what you owe in tax until it is almost due
- Hours spent on reconciliations each month that eat into time you do not have
What tidy books actually look like
Monthly bookkeeping handled properly means you always know where you stand. Your records are current, your VAT obligations are visible, and year-end requires no last-minute scramble.
- Bank accounts reconciled every month, with no surprises left to find at year-end
- Tax liabilities visible throughout the year, well before any payment deadline arrives
- Bookkeeping handled for you each month, so the hours go back into your business
- Transparent, fixed-fee pricing with a quote before any work begins
What London clients say about working with us
From sole traders to small companies, here is what clients say after handing over their books to a qualified accountant who handles it properly.
Prads and the team made filing our accounts so easy. They were patient, knowledgeable, responsive and good to work with. We would highly recommend them. Thanks Prads.
I was a bit of a DIY guy using FreeAgent and Mettle and unconfident that my accounts were in a proper state for submission. Prads made everything super simple and has just finished the whole process end to end in a matter of weeks.
Bookkeeping and cloud accounting, done properly
We cover the full range of bookkeeping and accounting work for London businesses, handled remotely and delivered to a consistent standard every month.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Your accounts are reconciled each month against your bank feeds, so the numbers you see are accurate and current. We work in Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, or Sage, whichever platform you are already using or happy to move to. Receipts are captured digitally via Dext, keeping everything organised and audit-ready without the paperwork.
Ongoing monthly serviceCatch-Up and Clean-Up Bookkeeping
If your books are months behind, we deal with that first. We review what exists, reconcile the backlog, and bring everything up to date before moving to ongoing monthly work. The quote you receive will cover the catch-up separately, so there are no surprises once work is underway.
One-off or as neededVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
VAT returns are prepared and filed quarterly or monthly, with your threshold monitored so you are not caught off guard by a registration obligation you were not expecting. We handle Making Tax Digital compliance, scheme selection (Standard Rate or Flat Rate), and VAT registration if you are approaching or have crossed the threshold.

What makes working with us different
There are plenty of bookkeepers to choose from. Here is what our clients consistently point to when they explain why they stayed.
Cloud Platforms You Already Use
We are a Xero Bronze Partner, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, FreeAgent Practice Partner, and Sage Accredited. If you are already using one of those platforms, we work in it. If you are not sure which suits your business, we will advise before any work begins. No data migration headaches, no starting from scratch.
Numbers Explained, Not Just Filed
Bookkeeping that produces reports nobody reads is not particularly useful. We explain what the numbers mean in plain terms, so you understand your margin, your VAT position, and your likely tax bill without needing to ask. Clarity is part of the service, not an optional extra.
Credible, Regulated, and Insured
Wings Online Filings is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider registered with Companies House and is AML-supervised by HMRC. The work is carried out by qualified accountants and is covered by professional indemnity insurance. For London businesses handing over their financial records, that matters.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a few days. The process is designed so that the effort on your side is kept to a minimum from the start.
Get a Fixed Quote
Fill in the short quote form or call us on 020 8089 1876. We will ask a few questions about your business, your current software, and roughly how far behind the books are. You receive a clear, fixed quote before any work begins.
We Review What Exists
Once instructed, we access your accounting platform and review the current state of the records. If there is catch-up work, we scope it clearly and let you know before proceeding. Nothing moves forward without your agreement.
Bookkeeping Taken Over Completely
We reconcile the backlog, set up clean bank feeds, and move into the monthly routine. Receipts come in via Dext or email. You do not need to prepare spreadsheets, chase entries, or log into the software unless you want to.
Clean Books, Every Month
Each month your books are current, your VAT position is visible, and your year-end will require no scramble. The numbers are there when you need them, explained in plain terms, with no annual surprises sitting in the background.
“Professional, efficient, confidence that everything is taken care of.”
Answers to what most people ask first
Can you take over my bookkeeping if I have been doing it myself in Xero or FreeAgent?
Yes, and this is one of the more common situations we encounter. We review what is already in the system, identify any reconciling differences or missing entries, and bring things up to date before moving into the monthly routine. If the records are broadly in order, the transition is quick. If there is more catch-up required, we scope that separately and quote for it before starting.
What does bookkeeping cost, and what is included in the fee?
Bookkeeping is quoted based on the volume of transactions, the platform you use, and whether catch-up work is needed first. We will give you a fixed monthly fee before any work begins, covering reconciliations, bank feed management, and receipt processing via Dext. VAT return preparation is quoted separately if required. There are no hourly rates and no invoices that arrive larger than the quote.
My books are several months behind. Is that a problem?
It is not unusual and it is not a problem. We start by reviewing what exists, reconciling the backlog, and agreeing a catch-up fee before any work begins. Once the records are current, we move into monthly bookkeeping on an ongoing basis. Most catch-up projects are completed within two to four weeks, depending on volume.
Is there a minimum contract term or lock-in period?
No long-term contract is required. We work on a monthly basis and you can give notice at any time. If you decide to move on, your records are handed over in good order and nothing is owed beyond the current month. We would rather earn your continued business through reliable work than tie you in contractually.
Which accounting software do you work with, and do I need to switch platforms?
We work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, and Sage. If you are already using one of these, we work in your existing system. If you are currently keeping records in spreadsheets or a platform we do not support, we will advise on the most practical migration path and handle the setup. You will not be asked to pay for software you do not need.
Will my bookkeeping feed directly into my VAT returns and year-end accounts?
Yes. Clean, current bookkeeping is the foundation for everything else. When your records are reconciled monthly, VAT returns are straightforward to prepare and file on time, and your year-end accounts are produced from organised data rather than a last-minute reconstruction. The two services are closely connected and we can handle both under one arrangement.
