Business bookkeeping services that keep your US and UK books straight

When you hand your books to us, you are buying a finished monthly result, not another login to check. Our bookkeeping services cover the full monthly cycle for your US entity. We connect your US bank and card feeds, reconcile every transaction, categorise income and expenses to a US chart of accounts, and record any transactions between your UK and US companies. The result should feel like less admin, not another job on your list, so you get a clean set of numbers each month without chasing anyone.

Most of the founders we help run a UK company and a US subsidiary at the same time. We keep both ledgers aligned, so a US number is a US number and your UK accounts are not muddled by dollar transactions. Your US entity stays ring-fenced, with intercompany charges documented, such as a UK parent invoicing the US company for services, and transfer-pricing-sensitive items recorded with a clear reason. One accountant sees both sides, so nothing falls between the two countries' books, whether you run the US arm beside an established UK company or a brand new one.

Yes. Bookkeeping and accounting services work best when the same team does both, because the person who codes the transactions is the person who prepares the reports. We keep the books monthly and produce management accounts from them, so you are not handing a messy file to a separate accountant at year end. For UK taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT) and Corporation Tax we work from the same records. For the US return we hand a tidy, reconciled trial balance to a US-licensed preparer rather than overstating what a UK practice can sign.

If you have staff, payroll and the books should sit in one place. We run your US payroll through the tools you already use, such as Gusto or ADP, and feed it straight into the books so wages, taxes and pension amounts land in the right accounts automatically. For your UK team we handle PAYE (Pay As You Earn, the way HM Revenue and Customs, HMRC, collects Income Tax and National Insurance from wages) through your UK payroll. Either way, one accountant keeps the payroll and the ledger in step, so nothing is entered twice and nothing is missed.

Working with a UK firm on your US books does not make your data less safe. Handling the books remotely is now normal, not novel, and the questions that matter are simple: who holds your data, do you own it, and how fast does a human reply. With us, your books live in your own accounting software, usually QuickBooks Online, under your account. We work inside it with permissioned access, not by emailing spreadsheets, and you can revoke that access in one click. A named person replies within 72 hours.

Bookkeeping is only worth paying for if it tells you something. Every month your accountant sends a plain set of management accounts for your US entity: a profit and loss account (the income statement), a balance sheet, and your cash position, all reconciled to the bank and presented to the GAAP standard (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the US reporting standard) that investors and lenders expect. These are the same monthly management accounts we produce for UK companies, prepared to US rules. You see how the US side is performing on its own, not buried inside your UK figures. When your board asks how the US entity is doing, the answer is ready rather than a spreadsheet you have to explain.

Clean books make tax season boring, which is the goal. Our bookkeeping and tax services keep your US entity filing-ready all year. We track obligations such as the annual report and franchise tax that apply to Delaware and Wyoming companies, flag deadlines early, prepare your 1099 contractor information, and keep an eye on US sales tax nexus as you sell into more states. For the US income tax return itself we coordinate with a US-licensed preparer, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an Enrolled Agent, so clean numbers go straight to them. That handover is usually where the real cost and stress of a US tax season comes from.
