I offer flexible appointments including evenings and weekends – because running a business doesn’t stop at 5pm.

Hi, I’m Sam – and I’ve been running We Balance Bookkeeping for over 7 years, backed by 30 years of real-world business experience and the qualifications to match.

In that time, I’ve learned one big thing: you don’t know what you don’t know, especially when it comes to accounts, tax and bookkeeping – and that’s usually where the problems (and the opportunities) are hiding.

I work with a select number of clients, so you’re never just a number. You get me – every time. Someone who knows your business inside out, spots things others miss, and genuinely cares that you’re sorted.

I help Sole traders, Landlords and Limited Companies who are brilliant at what they do – but didn’t go into business to spend their evenings wrestling with spreadsheets and worrying about HMRC. That’s my job – and I love it!

No jargon. No judgement. Just clear, accurate numbers and genuine peace of mind.

  • Bookkeeping & Accounts – I keep your financial records accurate, reconciled and up to date with regular bookkeeping, so nothing gets missed. Help you keep on top of who owes you money and understand what you are spending money on. Clear reports so you understand your business numbers and can accurately report for tax purposes, or HMRC compliance.
  • Tax returns & Compliance Support – I help with the nitty gritty compliance paperwork. I make sure your VAT, income tax and corporation taxes are correct and submitted on time, alongside providing payroll support if needed and filing your yearly Limited Company Confirmation Statement. Avoid fines, penalties and last-minute surprises, with professional panic free guidance.
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) Support – I’ll help you get to grips with digital record keeping, advise on the best software for your circumstances, submit quarterly updates to HMRC, along with filing the final tax return. You’ll never miss a deadline.
  • Financial Clarity & Advice – I’ll talk through your numbers, tax obligations and accounts in plain english and help answer any questions and worries you have. I’ll help you understand the money coming in and out of your business, your profit and tax positions, giving you the confidence to make informed business decisions, not just guesses.
  • Receipts stuffed in a drawer, hoping it will sort itself out
  • Dreading a letter from HMRC because you’re not sure what you owe
  • Lying awake wondering if your numbers are even right
  • Tax returns feel like a looming disaster you keep putting off

Here’s what changes when we work together.

After working with me:

  • Books up to date, accurate and making sense
  • You know exactly what you owe and when – no nasty surprises
  • Confident your tax is handled properly and on time
  • Free to focus on your business, not your paperwork
