Running your own business and need support
Running your own business means your time is often stretched, and bookkeeping can easily fall down the priority list.
I keep your records organised, accurate and compliant, giving you the freedom to focus on your day‑to‑day work while knowing your accounts are being managed properly. If your bookkeeping needs tidying or correcting, I can also review your existing records and get everything back on track.
Managing rental property or a holiday let
Owning a rental property or holiday let comes with ongoing financial responsibilities, from tracking income and allowable expenses to meeting tax and MTD requirements.
I keep your records organised, accurate and compliant, giving you confidence that everything is being handled properly while you focus on managing your property and tenants/guests.
Starting a new business and unsure where to begin
Starting a new business can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re faced with unfamiliar accounting requirements.
I can set up your cloud‑based bookkeeping from day one, establish clear processes and help you understand how keeping organised, accurate records supports your business growth and long‑term success.

I’m Claudine, a friendly and approachable bookkeeper with over 40 years' experience in bookkeeping, business administration and accounting across a range of industries, including corporate finance, legal practices and construction.
I specialise in producing clear, accurate, accountant‑ready bookkeeping - not just data entry. Whether you’re a sole trader, landlord, holiday let owner or a business owner, I help you keep your financial records organised, compliant and easy to understand.
I prepare standard Self Assessment tax returns for sole traders, landlords and individuals with straightforward additional income. My bookkeeping is fully digital and compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD), but I can also work with spreadsheets where required. I support businesses by preparing accurate bookkeeping up to trial balance, ready for your accountant to complete and submit year‑end accounts. If your tax affairs are more complex, I can liaise with your accountant or refer you to one if needed.
I do not offer complex tax planning or specialist tax advisory services.
