Books that close every month, not every year.
Every transaction categorised, every bank line reconciled, every receipt attached, by the tenth working day of the following month. That is the whole job, and most firms do not do it.
The whole job, not the visible half.
Everything below is in scope on the plan that includes bookkeeping. Nothing on this list is an add-on.
- Bank, card and payment-processor feeds connected and reconciled to the penny
- Sales, purchases and expenses coded to a chart of accounts built for your business
- Receipt capture through Dext or Hubdoc, matched automatically
- Multi-currency ledgers with realised and unrealised FX handled correctly
- Stripe, PayPal, Amazon and Shopify settlements broken into sales, fees and refunds
- A month-end pack: P&L, balance sheet, aged debtors and creditors
Three situations we see every week.
Businesses doing their own books after hours
You started on a spreadsheet and it worked until it did not. Handing it over frees the evenings and produces accounts an investor or lender will accept.
Companies whose accountant only appears at year end
Twelve months of guesswork, then a scramble. Monthly close means the year-end is a formality and the tax bill is never a surprise.
Groups trading in more than one currency
Cross-border businesses need ledgers that hold multiple currencies natively, not a single-currency file with manual adjustments.
Four steps, then a rhythm.
Scope and connect
We map your entities, bank accounts, payment processors and sales channels, then connect the feeds. Existing ledgers are migrated or cleaned.
Opening position
The balance sheet is reconciled to the last filed accounts so nothing is carried forward wrong.
Monthly close
Feeds are coded weekly, queries are batched into one message, and the pack lands by working day ten.
Review
Your accountant reads the pack before you do and flags anything that needs a decision.
The rules differ. So does the work.
The same service, applied to each jurisdiction's law. Figures checked September 2026.
Ledgers kept to FRS 102 or FRS 105, ready for Companies House and the CT600. VAT coding follows the scheme you are on: standard, flat rate or cash accounting.
Everything about the UK ↗IFRS or IFRS for SMEs as required under the Corporate Tax Law, which obliges taxable persons to keep records for seven years. Books are structured so the CT return can be prepared without restating anything.
Everything about the UAE ↗Cash or accrual basis to match your tax election, with 1099 tracking for contractors and sales tax collected by state kept out of revenue.
Everything about the USA ↗One senior accountant. One flat fee. Three countries.
Group figures are Shaazford Global LLC's published numbers across all its service lines.
Which software do you use?
Xero and QuickBooks Online are the defaults. We also work in Zoho Books and Sage where a client already has history there. The subscription is in your name, so the data is always yours.
How quickly is the month closed?
By the tenth working day of the following month for a standard client. Faster closes are available on the Scale plan, where the books are reconciled weekly.
Can you take over books that are behind?
Yes. Backlogs are handled as a separate catch-up project with a fixed quote, so the monthly fee starts only when you are current.
Do I still need an accountant at year end?
No. Bookkeeping and year-end accounts are done by the same team, which is the point: nothing is re-done or reinterpreted at year end.
