Giraffe Bookeeping Bristol

Owners in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and the surrounding area, including Bath, can hand their books to Giraffe Bookkeeping. Owners can pass on their records without taking on office staff, and the firm says its service is reliable, approachable, flexible and affordable.

Bookkeeping for sole traders and limited companies

The firm keeps accurate accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Its experience of more than twenty years in bookkeeping means it can serve a business at any stage, and it describes its approach as honest, down to earth and free of jargon. Bookkeeping is presented as the core of the service, with payroll and VAT returns handled alongside it.

Working on site or processing remotely

The firm can come to the client's premises or take the data away for processing, depending on what is easiest for the client. Its hours are set around the client rather than the working day, so it can help people who do not work normal hours. The head office is in Hotwells, near the centre of Bristol, with a further office in Fishponds in east Bristol and another in South Gloucestershire.

Payroll and VAT returns

Payroll and VAT returns are part of the regular work, so that a business can grow without taking on the cost of office staff or the expense of setting up its own accounts function. Outsourcing bookkeeping is presented as a way to free up time that would otherwise go on administration.

Accountancy membership and experience

The firm holds full membership of the AAT and a licence to practise with it. It explains its service in plain English, and it says its customers keep returning because the accounts are accurate and the team is easy to work with. Initial consultations are offered to new clients before any work begins, so that the firm can understand what a business needs.
