What RESOLVE can help with

Professional support without the traditional accountancy-firm feel.

You might need a few hours to get records back under control, help keeping on top of bookkeeping each month, or someone experienced to make sense of a messy finance process. RESOLVE is designed to be flexible.

Bookkeeping

Income and expense processing, ledger maintenance and keeping records current and organised.

Clean-up & catch-up

Behind on the books? RESOLVE can help organise incomplete records and work through the backlog.

Reconciliations

Bank and account reconciliations to help make sure the records agree with what actually happened.

VAT bookkeeping & records

Keeping VAT-related records organised, reconciling transactions and preparing information for reporting.

Tax & year-end preparation

Organising income, expenses and supporting records so year-end information is easier to review and hand over.

Reporting, budgets & forecasts

Practical management information, budgeting, forecasting and Excel-based reporting where appropriate.

£27.50 / hourFlexible bookkeeping and finance support. Pay only for the time your business actually needs.

RESOLVE Pro from £149A bespoke Excel bookkeeping system built around your business, with ongoing support included.

For many sole traders, bookkeeping does not need to mean another expensive software subscription. Where a simpler Excel-based process is appropriate, RESOLVE can keep the setup practical and proportionate.

Small businesses deserve proper financial support without being treated like a small priority.

Does this sound familiar?

RESOLVE may be a good fit if:

Your records are falling behind and you keep meaning to catch up.
You are spending too much of your own time on bookkeeping.
You want someone experienced without employing finance staff.
You want your records ready for year end rather than a last-minute scramble.
You want support that can start small and grow only if you need it.
