What Made You Want to Start Your Bookkeeping Business?
“I started my bookkeeping business because I wanted to provide more than just a service – I wanted to become a trusted partner for my clients, supporting them in their day-to-day operations and helping them make informed decisions. By stepping in as an extension of their team, Stour Bookkeeping can offer personalised attention and expertise to ensure their financial processes run smoothly, giving them more time and peace of mind to focus on what they do best. It’s not just about crunching numbers though; it’s about understanding each client’s unique needs and goals, working together to achieve long-term success.”
Who is Your Target Audience?
“Our target audience consists of limited companies and sole traders who need reliable, professional bookkeeping and payroll services to streamline their financial operations. Limited companies, often juggling complex financial records and compliance requirements, require accurate bookkeeping and timely payroll management to stay on top of their obligations. Sole traders, on the other hand, need straightforward and efficient services, while ensuring their finances are in order. By offering tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of these businesses, we help our clients save time, reduce stress, and maintain financial clarity, allowing them to focus on what matters most – running and expanding their businesses.”
What Are Your Favourite Things About Running Stour Bookkeeping?
“One of my favourite things about running my bookkeeping business is the opportunity to directly support our clients, guiding them through the complexities of financial management. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact we have on their success, whether it’s by streamlining their processes or ensuring they have financial clarity. I also love being part of a dedicated team of skilled bookkeepers and payroll specialists who work together to provide tailored solutions and make the seemingly overwhelming tasks feel simple. Watching both our clients and our team grow – whether through improved business performance or the development of new skills – brings a real sense of accomplishment and motivates me every day.”
What Do You Like Best About Your Office at The Grainstore?
“We really enjoy our office because it fosters a collaborative and welcoming environment for both our team and our clients. Our open-door policy allows clients to visit, meet the team, and engage in meaningful conversations, making them feel more connected and supported. This face-to-face interaction helps build stronger relationships and ensures we fully understand their needs. For our team – Rachael, Emma, and Olivia – having an open, shared workspace is essential. It encourages the free exchange of ideas, enabling us to brainstorm and problem-solve together. This collaborative approach ensures we’re always providing the best support to our clients, as we’re able to draw from each other’s expertise and work closely to address any challenges that arise. The office truly serves as the hub for both client relationships and internal teamwork, making it an essential part of how we operate.”
What Services Do You Offer?

We specialise in bookkeeping, ensuring that financial records are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with regulations. We also offer CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) services, helping businesses in the construction industry manage tax deductions and meet compliance requirements. Our VAT services are designed to simplify the often-complex process of VAT returns, ensuring clients remain on track and avoid costly errors. Additionally, our payroll services take the hassle out of paying employees, handling everything from calculating wages to ensuring timely tax filings.
