Sound familiar?
QuickBooks installed. Everything else still unclear.
QuickBooks Online is good software. The problem is usually not the software. It is the chart of accounts set up for the wrong business type, bank feeds that have not reconciled in months, and VAT figures that do not match what HMRC is expecting. By the time most business owners notice, there is a fair amount of untangling to do.
- Bank feed connected but transactions sitting unmatched for months
- Not confident your VAT return figures match the books
- No clear picture of profit until the accountant turns up at year-end
What a clean QuickBooks setup looks like
When QuickBooks is configured correctly and maintained monthly, the numbers you see actually mean something. Tax is visible. VAT is ready to file. You are not guessing.
- Transactions matched and reconciled every month — nothing building up
- VAT returns prepared directly from reconciled QuickBooks data, no surprises
- Up-to-date figures available whenever you need to know where the business stands
- Fixed monthly fee covering software support, bookkeeping, and accountant access

Everything your QuickBooks account needs
Three components, covered as standard. No separate charges for the things that should have been included in the first place.
QuickBooks Set-Up and Configuration
Your chart of accounts, VAT settings, bank feeds, and opening balances are configured to your business type before anything else gets touched. A QuickBooks file built correctly at the start saves a considerable amount of correction work later. This is done once, properly.
Included as standardMonthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Transactions are categorised and reconciled each month, so your figures are current rather than theoretical. You can log in and see where the business stands at any point — not just at year-end when it is too late to do anything about it. VAT returns are prepared from the same reconciled data.
Ongoing, monthlyYear-End Accounts and Tax Filing
Year-end accounts, corporation tax or self assessment — whichever applies to your business — are filed directly from your QuickBooks records. Because the books are maintained throughout the year, there is no last-minute scramble and your tax bill is not a surprise. Deadlines are tracked and handled.
No last-minute panicConsistently the same experience
Owner-managed businesses, new companies, sole traders — the feedback follows the same theme: fast responses, clear explanations, and books that are actually in order.
Found After Expensive, Unreachable Accountant
“I cannot rate this company highly enough. I started off with an incredible expensive company who I could never reach or get good advice from – then THANKFULLY found Hasan who has been our accountant ever since.”
WhatsApp Access Makes Communication Efficient
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Swift, Hassle-Free Accounts From Day One
“Excellent service! Hasan took over and sorted out my accounts with a swift and hassle free service. I would highly recommend for your accounting needs.”
What sets this apart from any other accountant with a QuickBooks login
Being QuickBooks-certified is a starting point. These are the things that make a practical difference to how the service actually works.
Set Up for Your Business Type
QuickBooks configured generically is only marginally better than not configuring it at all. Whether you are a limited company, sole trader, landlord, or contractor, the chart of accounts and VAT settings are built around how your business actually operates. You will not spend the next year unpicking a chart of accounts designed for a different type of business.
Tax Visible Throughout the Year
Because the books are reconciled monthly, your corporation tax or self assessment liability is visible well before HMRC sends a reminder. There is enough time to plan around it — not just pay it. Unexpected tax bills are largely a bookkeeping problem, and a clean QuickBooks file solves most of it.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
The same-day reply commitment applies whether the question is about a transaction category, a VAT query, or something you have just received from HMRC. You will not send a message and wonder whether it has been seen. Clients consistently note this as the thing that makes the most practical difference.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
The process is designed to be low-effort on your side. Most of the work happens in the background — you review, confirm, and get on with the business.
Get in touch, no pressure
Call, email, or use the contact form. The initial conversation is free and without obligation. You explain your situation — current software, state of the books, what is working and what is not. It takes about 20 minutes.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
Based on your business type and requirements, you receive a clear fixed-fee quote. No hourly rates, no ambiguity about what is and is not included. You know the monthly cost before signing anything.
QuickBooks configured and connected
If you are already on QuickBooks, access is transferred and the file is reviewed and corrected where needed. If you are new to it, the account is set up correctly from the start. Either way, bank feeds are connected and reconciliation begins.
Books current, tax visible
From that point on, the books are maintained monthly, deadlines are tracked, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. Questions are answered the day they arise. Which is, frankly, the way it should have been all along.
“Hasan has been amazing and extremely helpful he has been very patient with me being new to running a business, he had given me some great advice and I will continue to use Edward Harris & Hasan”
A few things people usually ask first
Do you actually work in QuickBooks Online, or just hand over reports at year-end?
QuickBooks Online is the working environment — not a reporting tool that gets looked at once a year. Bank feeds are connected and reconciled monthly, VAT returns are filed directly from the platform, and you have full access to your own file at all times. There is no black box.
What does QuickBooks accounting support cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed and monthly, agreed upfront based on your business type and volume of transactions. There are no hourly rates and no charges for the kind of questions that come up in the normal course of running a business. To get a clear figure for your specific situation, the quickest route is a short free call or the quote form on this page.
My QuickBooks is in a bit of a state — transactions uncategorised, months unreconciled. Can you take it on?
Yes, and this is not unusual. The first step is a review of where things currently stand, followed by a catch-up period to bring the records up to date. The cost of catch-up work is agreed in advance, so there are no surprises. Once the file is clean, the monthly service maintains it going forward.
Is there a long-term contract or a minimum commitment?
There is no long-term contract. If after a few months it is not working as expected, you are free to leave. Your QuickBooks data belongs to you and can be exported in full. You will not be left with a locked file or incomplete records.
Can you migrate my records to QuickBooks if I am currently using a different system or spreadsheets?
Yes. Whether you are moving from Xero, FreeAgent, Sage, or a spreadsheet, the migration process is managed as part of the onboarding. Opening balances are verified and the new file is reviewed before any live transactions are processed. The goal is a clean start, not a like-for-like copy of whatever was going wrong before.
Will I know what my tax bill is likely to be before the deadline arrives?
Because the books are reconciled monthly, your tax liability — whether corporation tax or self assessment — is calculable at any point in the year. You will not receive an estimate for the first time in January or shortly before a payment on account is due. There is generally enough notice to plan around it rather than simply react to it.
