BOOKKEEPING SERVICES
FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND CHARITIES
Running a small business means wearing many hats, and keeping on top of the finances is often one of the jobs that gets pushed to the bottom of the list. But falling behind on bookkeeping can quickly become stressful, time consuming and overwhelming, especially when year end draws near.
That’s where a Bookkeeper comes in.
As your Virtual Bookkeeper, Michelle manages your day to day financial records remotely, helping you stay organised, compliant and in control of your business finances, while giving you back valuable time to focus on running and growing your business.
By Your Side Business Support’s Bookkeeping Services can save your small business money by providing cost effective bookkeeping support as and when you need it. No expensive monthly salary, PAYE or NI costs. Just pay as you go, either hourly or a set monthly package.

PRICING AND PACKAGES
‘Pay as you go’ prices for businesses and charities whose needs vary month by month
Our Bookkeeping services are charged at £32.50/hour
You only pay for the time you use (minimum of 1 hour/week; rounded to the nearest 15 minutes) and are invoiced monthly in arrears.
Discounted rates available if you’re looking for 16+ hours each month
Our cost-effective packages for businesses and charities looking for a minimum half a day a week support give you peace of mind that you’re getting the support you need at a price you can easily budget for.
As we approach the package limit, you’ll be notified and we can either cap our hours, or continue at a pre-agreed additional hourly rate. You’ll always have visibility of what we’re working on, and how long it’s taking and if we find that we’re consistently working under, or over, the pre-agreed hours, you can easily switch plans.

Bookkeepers don’t just save you time… they can also save you money
As a successful business owner, it’s hard to balance all your priorities. So it’s important to have the right team around you.
This article explains how a qualified bookkeeper can not only save you time (so you can focus on your other priorities), they can also help your business to run more efficiently and reduce your accountancy bills.
More than a Bookkeeper
Recognising that her bookkeeping and VA clients would benefit from a broader range of services than a traditional VA provides, Michelle partnered with her Associate, Lynne, and By Your Side Business Support was born.
BYS marries both Lynne & Michelle’s complimentary skills sets, doubles their capacity and broadens their ability to support small businesses, solopreneurs and charity directors.
Collectively, Michelle and Lynne can support business with a range of one-off and ongoing projects and tasks to fully support our clients to grow with the convenience of only having one supplier invoice to pay, and one main point of contact.
