Professional Bookkeeping Services in the UK
The UK’s mix of limited companies, sole traders, and a fast-growing e- commerce and professional services sector means bookkeeping needs vary enormously from one business to the next — and getting VAT and Corporation Tax obligations wrong can be costly, especially with Making Tax Digital reshaping how HMRC expects records to be kept.
Majoka Accounting Ltd provides professional bookkeeping services across the UK, combining a federally registered Canadian company structure with a team based in the UK, so you get local relevance and international-standard bookkeeping in one place.
Whether your business is a Companies House-registered limited company or you operate as a sole trader, you get a dedicated bookkeeper who understands your structure, monthly reconciliations on a fixed schedule, and reports that are actually useful for VAT filing, Corporation Tax, and day-to-day decisions — all delivered through secure, Making Tax Digital-compatible cloud accounting platforms.
If your books aren’t keeping pace with your HMRC obligations, book a free consultation and let’s talk through what your business actually needs.
Plans Start at £160/Month (~$199 USD)
Fixed monthly pricing, no surprise invoices, no long-term lock-in. The exact rate depends on your transaction volume, business structure, and whether payroll is included — but £160/month is where it starts.
Quick Facts
What Is a Virtual Bookkeeper?
A virtual bookkeeper manages your financial records remotely using secure cloud accounting software, so you get ongoing bookkeeping support without needing someone in your office every day. For UK business owners — whether a limited company registered with Companies House or a sole trader — that means your bank feeds, invoices, VAT records, and payroll are reconciled and reported on a fixed schedule, with a dedicated bookkeeper you can reach directly by phone, WhatsApp, or email. Whether you call it virtual bookkeeping, remote bookkeeping, or outsourced bookkeeping, the goal is the same: an experienced bookkeeper handling your accounts accurately every month, so you’re never scrambling before a VAT return deadline or a Corporation Tax filing. We work with UK businesses of every size — from newly incorporated startups to established limited companies — and with the chartered accountants who serve them, giving them a reliable bookkeeping partner without adding headcount.
What Is Corporation Tax-Ready Bookkeeping?
Corporation Tax-ready bookkeeping means your monthly books are organized and reconciled in a way that your chartered accountant can use directly to prepare and file your CT600 with HMRC — without having to rebuild your records first. With the main Corporation Tax rate at 25% for profits above £250,000, and a 19% small profits rate for profits at or below £50,000 (with marginal relief in between), having clean books ready year-round makes it much easier for your accountant to apply the right rate and avoid a scramble at filing time.
What Is VAT-Ready Bookkeeping?
VAT-ready bookkeeping means your output tax and input tax are tracked accurately throughout each period, using Making Tax Digital-compatible software, so your VAT return can be filed with HMRC on time and without errors. This matters whether you’re already VAT-registered or approaching the £90,000 mandatory registration threshold — and since MTD for VAT has applied to all VAT- registered businesses since April 2022, manual submission through the HMRC portal is no longer an option regardless of your size.
Why UK Businesses Need Professional Bookkeeping
Patterns we see regularly among UK clients:
Understanding the UK’s Business Environment
The UK’s economy includes a large professional, scientific, and technical services sector (the single largest industry group among registered businesses), alongside retail, e-commerce, hospitality, and a substantial base of limited companies and sole traders. Businesses are typically structured as Companies House-registered limited companies, partnerships, or sole traders, each with different registration and filing obligations to HMRC and, where applicable, Companies House.

Our Bookkeeping Services
Core services for UK clients include Monthly Bookkeeping, VAT return support (Making Tax Digital-compatible tracking of output and input tax), Corporation Tax-ready financial reporting, Payroll support, Catch-Up Bookkeeping, and full support on QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, and FreeAgent. These are available individually or bundled into a fixed monthly package sized to your transaction volume and business structure.
Common Bookkeeping Challenges in the UK
A sole trader crosses the £90,000 VAT threshold without noticing, and by the time they register, they face a scramble to become Making Tax Digital-compliant retroactively. A growing limited company doesn’t realize marginal relief applies between £50,000 and £250,000 profit, and either overpays or underestimates its Corporation Tax liability. A company director puts off the new identity verification requirement with Companies House, risking delays to filings that depend on it.
Structured monthly bookkeeping is built specifically to catch these situations before they become expensive.

What we do provide is bookkeeping, VAT-ready records, Corporation Tax-ready financial reporting, and payroll support, and we coordinate directly with your chartered accountant whenever that’s useful.
