Websites for bookkeepers
Web design for bookkeepers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Clients cannot tell you from an accountant. Explain the difference and the handover.
Small business owners are frequently unclear about where bookkeeping ends and accountancy begins, and whether they need one, the other or both. That confusion costs bookkeepers work they should be winning.
Explaining it plainly — what you do monthly, what an accountant does annually, and how the two work together — positions you as the practical, affordable, year-round relationship rather than a lesser version of an accountant.
What your customers want answered
- What do you do that my accountant does not
- What does it cost — monthly, or by transaction volume
- Which software do you work in
- Do you handle VAT returns and payroll
- Are you qualified and supervised
State your anti-money laundering supervisionBusinesses providing bookkeeping, accountancy or tax services must be supervised for anti-money laundering purposes, either by HMRC or through a professional body. Saying who supervises you, alongside your qualifications and insurance, separates a professional practice from somebody doing books at the kitchen table.
No pricing model at all
Owners want to know whether this is fifty pounds a month or five hundred. A tiered structure based on transaction volume or turnover lets them place themselves and is far more effective than inviting a conversation.
What you take off their plate
Explain the bookkeeping you do: bank reconciliation, invoices, bills, VAT returns and payroll, the software you use and how often you work on the books.
Pricing and supervision
Explain how you charge, whether monthly fixed fees or hourly, with what each covers. State your anti-money-laundering supervision and any professional membership, which shows you are properly registered.
Deadlines and digital records
Most small business owners worry about deadlines more than anything else. Explain how you keep clients on track for VAT returns, payroll submissions and year end, and how you handle digital record-keeping requirements, including Making Tax Digital for VAT and what is changing for income tax.
Describe how clients send you paperwork: photos of receipts, bank feeds, shared folders or apps. Say how you work alongside an accountant, passing tidy records for year-end accounts. Monthly reports showing profit, cash and what is owed help owners make decisions, so mention them if you provide them.
