Bookkeeping for West Moors businesses
West Moors is just a few minutes from my base in Verwood. I work with the village’s sole traders, home-based businesses and landlords, many of whom want simple, reliable help rather than a big accountancy firm.
Straightforward help, close to home
West Moors is a close-knit village community surrounded by heath and forest, with Moors Valley Country Park just next door. A lot of local businesses are run from home: tradespeople, online sellers, consultants, dog walkers, cleaners and more. Many are sole traders whose bookkeeping has quietly grown more complicated over the years.
I offer a relaxed, personal service. We’ll look at what you’re doing now, keep what works, and fix what doesn’t.
Making Tax Digital for smaller businesses
One of the most common questions I’m asked in West Moors is: “Does MTD apply to me?” If you’re self-employed or a landlord, it’s worth checking now. The threshold is £50,000 of gross income today, falling to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. I can explain what it means for you in a single conversation – and take care of it if you’d rather not.
Self assessment without the stress
For many West Moors clients, the main job is their annual tax return. I’ll gather everything from your records, pensions and bank interest, check you’ve claimed all your allowable expenses, and file your return well ahead of the 31 January deadline.
Help for new businesses
If you’re starting something new from home, I can register you with HMRC, set up a simple system for your records and explain how much to put aside for tax. It’s the easiest way to start on the right foot.
West Moors bookkeeping FAQs
I’ve retired but still have a bit of self-employed and rental income. Do I need a bookkeeper?
Not always, but if your combined gross income from self-employment and property is over £30,000, Making Tax Digital will apply from April 2027. I can check your position and, if needed, keep your quarterly updates simple.

Yes, I’m happy to visit. It’s only a short drive from Verwood.
