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.

Helpful and friendly always. I appreciate how helpful the team are. For the many questions I usually bombard them with, they’re always straight back to me keeping me in the know.

Ideally every week or month, depending on transaction volume. Regular bookkeeping keeps your accounts current and reduces the rush at VAT or year end.
Not strictly, but it’s strongly recommended. Cloud software such as Xero or QuickBooks saves time, reduces manual errors, and gives real-time insights. Our clients also receive a 25% discount on Xero subscriptions.

Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions; accounting interprets those figures for tax and business planning. Both work best together, and we handle each under one roof.
You can, but it’s easy to fall behind or miss allowable expenses. Many clients find outsourcing saves hours each week and ensures compliance.
