Sound familiar?
Using QuickBooks, but not confident the numbers are right?
QuickBooks is capable software, but capability only matters if the setup is correct and the books stay current. Many Oldham business owners are logging in regularly, entering things as best they can, and still finishing the year unsure whether their accounts are accurate. The VAT return is a source of mild dread. The chart of accounts was set up years ago and nobody has touched it since. That is not a software problem.
- Transactions miscategorised for months without anyone flagging it
- VAT return filed from QuickBooks data you are not fully confident in
- Year-end arrives and the books need several hours of catch-up work

With Edward Harris managing your QuickBooks, the chart of accounts is set up for your type of business, bank feeds are reconciled regularly, and the data the VAT return is built on is accurate. Year-end stops being an event you dread.
- Transactions categorised correctly every month, no year-end surprises
- VAT returns filed from QuickBooks data you can actually stand behind
- Books up to date throughout the year, not scrambled into shape at deadline
- Fixed monthly fee covering bookkeeping, VAT, and year-round support

Everything your QuickBooks account needs
A single fixed monthly fee covers setup, ongoing bookkeeping, VAT compliance, and year-round support. No surprises, no add-on charges for a question.
QuickBooks Setup and Migration
Your QuickBooks is configured properly for your business type, with the right chart of accounts, VAT scheme, and bank feeds connected from the start. If you are migrating from another system or another accountant, the transition is handled without disruption. The data you start with is data you can rely on.
Included as standardMonthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Bank feeds are reviewed and reconciled regularly, transactions are categorised correctly, and your QuickBooks balance reflects reality at any point in the month. You can log in and see where you stand rather than wondering whether the figures are right. Less Sunday-evening dread.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Your VAT return is prepared directly from your QuickBooks data, reviewed for accuracy, and submitted to HMRC on time through Making Tax Digital-compliant software. You know your VAT liability before the deadline, not the morning of it. Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year.
Included as standardConsistent feedback across every client
From sole traders new to business to established limited companies, the pattern across reviews is the same: fast responses, accurate work, and advice that actually helps.

What makes this different from any other QuickBooks accountant
There are plenty of accountants who will file your returns. Fewer who will make sure the data behind them is actually right.
QuickBooks Online Certified
Hasan is certified in QuickBooks Online, alongside Xero, FreeAgent, and Dext. That means the setup conversation starts with your business, not a generic template. Chart of accounts, VAT schemes, payroll integration, bank feed rules — configured correctly the first time rather than adjusted retroactively when something does not balance.
Year-Round Support, Not Year-End Scramble
Books are reviewed throughout the year, not pulled together in January. If a transaction looks wrong, it is queried in the month it appears, not discovered during the year-end close. The result is a tax bill you can see coming rather than one that arrives without warning.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
Contact form enquiries receive a same-day reply. Phone and email are answered quickly. Clients also use WhatsApp for day-to-day queries. For a business owner who has previously waited a week for a response from their accountant, that difference is noticeable fairly quickly.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are switched over and have clean, current books within a few weeks. The process requires very little from you beyond a single conversation.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form. The reply comes the same day. The initial conversation is free and without any pressure to proceed.
Free initial conversation
Hasan will ask about your business, your current QuickBooks setup, and what is and is not working. No jargon, no sales pitch. You will leave the call knowing exactly what a fixed monthly fee would cover and what happens next.
Onboarding and setup
Edward Harris handles the transition from your previous accountant or the initial QuickBooks configuration. Access is arranged, the chart of accounts is reviewed, and any catch-up bookkeeping is scoped and priced clearly before any work begins.
Books current, tax visible
From the first full month, your QuickBooks is maintained and reconciled regularly. Your VAT return is handled, your tax position is visible throughout the year, and there is an accountant to call when something comes up. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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
We already use QuickBooks — do you just take over, or do you reconfigure everything?
It depends on the state of the existing setup. The first thing Hasan does is review the chart of accounts, VAT settings, and recent reconciliations to understand what is working and what is not. Some setups are broadly fine and need minimal adjustment. Others have accumulated months of miscategorisation that needs correcting before the data can be relied on. Either way, you are told clearly what needs doing and what it will cost before anything changes.
What does a fixed monthly fee actually include?
The monthly fee covers ongoing bookkeeping and bank reconciliation within QuickBooks, VAT return preparation and submission, and year-round access to Hasan for questions. Year-end accounts and corporation tax are typically included or quoted separately depending on the scope. Everything is agreed upfront — there are no per-call charges or invoice surprises for asking a question.
My books are a bit of a mess at the moment. Is that a problem?
Not unusually so. Most clients arrive with books in some state of disarray — duplicate transactions, unreconciled bank feeds, or a year of data that nobody has properly reviewed. Catch-up work is scoped and priced clearly at the start. Once it is done, the ongoing monthly fee keeps things current so it does not happen again.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No long-term contract. If the arrangement is not working after three months, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing owed beyond the months already covered. The aim is that the work speaks for itself rather than a contract doing the retaining.
Can you handle Making Tax Digital requirements through QuickBooks?
Yes. QuickBooks Online is MTD-compatible and Edward Harris submits VAT returns directly to HMRC through MTD-compliant software. If your turnover is approaching the VAT registration threshold, that is monitored proactively — you will not cross it without knowing.
Will I be able to see my tax position during the year, not just at year-end?
That is one of the more useful things about having current, accurate QuickBooks data. With the books maintained monthly, your approximate corporation tax or income tax liability is visible throughout the year rather than revealed as a figure you cannot do anything about. It makes cash planning considerably more straightforward.
