Bookkeeping services in Jarrow
Keeping accurate financial records is essential for understanding your business and staying on top of your accounting responsibilities. Our bookkeeping services help keep your income, expenses and financial records accurate, organised and up to date throughout the year.
Findlay Todd can take care of the day-to-day bookkeeping, giving you reliable records for VAT returns, year-end accounts and tax while freeing up more of your time to focus on running your business.
Keeping accurate books is the foundation of every successful business. Errors in bookkeeping can lead to compliance issues, missed deductions, and wasted time fixing mistakes later. At Findlay Todd Accountants, we keep your financial records organised, up to date, and compliant, so you always know where your business stands.
Bookkeeping is the structured recording of your day-to-day business transactions (sales, purchases, bank movements, payroll, and VAT) kept in a clear audit trail. Done well, it reconciles accounts, categorises costs correctly, and produces tidy ledgers that feed straight into VAT returns, management reports, and year-end accounts. In short, bookkeeping shows what’s happening in your business right now, while accounting interprets those figures for tax and planning.
We start by reviewing your current bookkeeping system, whether that’s spreadsheets, Sage, QuickBooks, or Xero. Our team then sets up or refines your digital records, categorising transactions, reconciling bank accounts, and tracking income, expenses, and VAT. Once everything is in order, we provide regular reports that show your cash flow, profitability, and upcoming liabilities. When paired with our VAT Returns, Payroll, and Year End Accounts services, your entire financial process stays consistent and accurate throughout the year.
We mainly use Xero to manage our Bookkeeping process and client accounts. However, if you use your own bookkeeping software such as Sage, Quickbooks, spreadsheets or manual cash books we are happy to accommodate your every need.
Whether you’re a sole trader keeping on top of your own finances or a growing limited company with an increasing number of transactions, our bookkeeping services can take the day-to-day record keeping off your hands.
We keep your financial records accurate, organised and up to date, giving you a clearer picture of your business throughout the year. With reliable records in place, it becomes easier to manage cash flow, prepare for VAT returns and year-end accounts, and make informed decisions based on figures you can trust.
Our team can work with your existing bookkeeping setup or help you move to a more efficient digital system. We support businesses using Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and other bookkeeping methods, providing as much or as little ongoing support as you need. Findlay Todd’s current page confirms they accommodate these different systems, while the team is also Xero certified.
Let us handle the routine record keeping so you can spend more time running and growing your business
Regular bookkeeping keeps your financial records current, helping you avoid a last-minute rush when important deadlines arrive.
Well-maintained records give you a clearer view of your income, expenses and overall financial position throughout the year.
We don’t just work with numbers, we work with people. That’s why our clients trust us year after year. We build lasting relationships through consistent, high-quality support.

Findlay Todd have looked after my business for a number of years now and I have always found them to provide a first class service. With prompt responses to queries and clear timelines given for work to be undertaken, their level of service exceeds that which you would expect from a busy accountants ( and I have had plenty of dealings with other accountants over the years). I am more than happy to recommend their services to people who want a real world approach to accounting.Posted on Google![]()

I came across Findlay Todd through a Google search. I contacted them with a query regarding eligilibity for Seafarer's Earnings Deduction (SED). Daniel replied promptly and provided the help I was looking for in a way that made me feel reassured that I was communicating with someone who knows well their trade. Having contacted other accountants, Findlay Todd's replies to my emails have felt like a breath of fresh air. I will definitely consider using their personal tax return services in the future!
