Bookkeeping services in Christchurch

From the harbour to the airport

Christchurch has two very different business communities. Around the Priory, the Quay and Mudeford, there are restaurants, cafés, boatyards, sailing and tourism businesses that thrive in summer. Up at Bournemouth Airport and the surrounding business park, you’ll find aviation, engineering and technology companies with larger teams and more complex needs.

I work with both. The common thread is accurate, up-to-date books, returns filed on time and a bookkeeper who explains things clearly.

Seasonal businesses

Waterside and tourism businesses often make most of their money between Easter and October. Keeping on top of the books through the busy season, and planning cash flow for the quieter months, makes a big difference. I’ll help you set aside the right amount for VAT and tax so there are no shocks in January.

Payroll and VAT for growing firms

For larger Christchurch businesses, I provide monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and management reports so directors always know where they stand. If you already have an in-house bookkeeper, I can provide cover for holidays, help with year-end or review your systems.

Rental income

Christchurch has many landlords and owners of holiday homes and beach huts. With Making Tax Digital for Income Tax extending to landlords with over £30,000 of gross rental and self-employed income from April 2027, now is a good time to get your records in order.
