Xero Bookkeeping, Payments & VAT Support

I run a UK-registered company and would like to hand over the day-to-day bookkeeping so everything stays clean, up-to-date, and HMRC-ready. All records are kept in Xero, so fluency with that platform is essential.

Here’s what needs covering each month:

• Reconcile every bank, and card feed so the books match the statements down to the last penny.
• Create and issue sales invoices, record incoming payments, and chase or flag anything overdue.
• Enter supplier bills, schedule payments, and mark them off once paid.
• Produce management reports—P&L, balance sheet, cash-flow snapshot—so I can review performance quickly.
• Prepare and submit VAT returns (Making Tax Digital) on time, ensuring every figure ties back to the reconciled data.

Acceptance criteria
1. All accounts fully reconciled by the 5th working day of the following month.
2. Management reports delivered in Xero by the 10th.
3. Draft VAT return ready for my review at least two weeks before the filing deadline.
4. No unreconciled items or suspense balances left open.

If you already work with UK clients and can demonstrate tidy, audit-ready Xero files, I’m keen to hear how you’d keep my books in equally good shape.
