Bookkeeping
Accurate, tidy books make everything else easier. We keep your records in order and your software fully updated, giving you real-time insight into your finances.
Flexible Support to Keep Your Records Clear and Your Business Running Smoothly
Accurate bookkeeping is the foundation of good financial management — but that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive.
At Welbourne & Co, we offer flexible bookkeeping services that suit the way *you* want to work. Whether you prefer to hand everything over to us, or you’d like to keep costs down by managing some of the process yourself, we’re here to support you either way.
We use cloud-based software to make things faster and more efficient, and we’re always on hand to help you stay in control of your finances.
What’s Included
- Ongoing bookkeeping using cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, etc.)
- Bank reconciliation, sales and purchase entry, expense tracking
- Regular checks to keep records clean, up to date, and HMRC-compliant
- VAT-ready data if you’re VAT registered
- Preparation of financial reports if needed
- Custom training and guidance if you want to handle parts of the bookkeeping yourself
Hands-On or Hands-Off — You Choose
Some of our clients want to manage their day-to-day records themselves, and we fully support that. We can provide guidance and training to help you learn the ropes — and we’re always here for questions or corrections.
Others prefer to hand it all over — and we’re happy to take full responsibility if that’s what works best for your business. Either way, you get the peace of mind that your books are accurate and reliable.
Better Bookkeeping = Better Decisions
When your records are up to date, it’s easier to:
- Understand how your business is performing
- Make confident spending and pricing decisions
- Prepare for tax returns and year-end accounts
- Sleep better at night knowing everything’s in order

Local Expertise with a Personal Touch
Welbourne & Co was founded in 2010 by Richard Welbourne with a simple idea: accountancy should be efficient, affordable, and genuinely helpful for business owners.
After years working in larger regional firms, Richard saw first-hand how traditional accountancy practices often came with hefty overheads and outdated systems. Determined to do things differently, he set up Welbourne & Co with a streamlined model—using smart technology instead of large offices, and passing those savings on to clients.
If I use Xero, do I still need an accountant?
Yes. Xero is a brilliant bookkeeping tool, but bookkeeping is just the beginning. As Chartered Certified Accountants, we use that data to prepare your statutory accounts, submit corporation tax returns, and ensure compliance with HMRC and Companies House. We help turn your bookkeeping into real insight and ensure nothing is missed.
What does it mean that you’re Chartered Certified Accountants?
It means we’re fully qualified, regulated, and held to high professional standards. Many lenders, including mortgage providers, now require accounts to be signed off by a Chartered accountant — so it really matters. You’re in safe, credible hands with us.
You’re a Xero Gold Partner — what does that mean?
It’s a recognition of our deep experience with Xero and the number of clients we support on the platform. Being a Gold Partner shows our commitment to cloud accounting and reflects the trust our clients place in us — especially impressive for a firm our size.
Can you help me get started with cloud accounting?
Absolutely. We’ve helped many businesses move onto Xero and similar tools. We’ll guide you through setup, provide training, and be on hand for support whenever you need it.
Do you work with limited companies and sole traders?
Yes — whether you’re a limited company, sole trader, or partnership, we have packages and expertise to suit your situation.
