I've got no time to do my bookkeeping
I'm stressed that I'm not doing things correctly
I'm anxious that I don't understand the figures
I don't really know what I should be doing
I'm worried about picking the right bookkeeper
What the heck are the Etsy fees all about?
You’re so run off your feet trying to get your orders out, advertising new products, listing your creations etc that you just don’t have time to do your bookkeeping on top of all that. And even if you did have the time, all the figures, e-commerce fees, payments, HMRC paperwork etc is just so overwhelming that you end up shutting down and doing none of it.
I promise you it does not have to be this way.
The simple solution to your problem is to work with me on a monthly retainer. I can take all your worries and concerns away leaving you free to grow your empire… or just have time to drink a hot cup of tea for a change! I’ll manage your monthly bookkeeping (and more if needed) and work with you to ensure your finances are in tip-top shape. You can relax knowing your accounts are being handled by a professional with experience in your exact business. And we’ll have a laugh together (assuming you’re a fan of sarcasm – I’m totally side-eyeing you here if you’re not) because bookkeeping doesn’t have to be boring…. OK, OK, I know it may be boring and tedious to you but I bloomin’ love it!
I see you over there rushing to get your paperwork in last minute because you've been swamped with Etsy sales and haven't had the time to do it before now. This will be a thing of the past that we can laugh about when we're retelling the story of the pre-bookkeeper era.
I promise you I will never make you feel embarrassed for not understanding something. And if I'm explaining something and I slip into "bookkeeper speak" please call me out on it! You need someone you can talk to about your business finances that's going to increase your confidence with your numbers.
If you don't know what is happening with your finances it's like driving somewhere you don't know without satnav. Sure you might end up where you want eventually but you're bound to take a load of wrong turns first. When we work together you will finally be able to take control of the wheel and know exactly where you're going.
Hi! I’m Helen. I have been a fully qualified and licensed bookkeeper since 2019. I specialise in helping awesome people who sell their products and services online. So Etsy sellers, VA’s, course creators etc. I see you, I know your business, and I can help you.
My prices are based on the number of transactions going through your business and are reviewed every 3-6 months so you’ll only ever be paying what you should be. But to give you a guide (because no one wants to get in touch with a business without having a rough idea first!), prices for monthly bookkeeping start from £75 a month.
I realise that still leaves you with a bit of a question mark as to what you’ll be paying. So I’ve popped two example clients below to give you an idea of what you could be getting for what price.
Sarcasm is included for free…
Is a sole trader selling their items on their own website. They make approximately 90 sales and around 15 purchases every month. They want to hand over their monthly bookkeeping and also their self-assessment tax return.
£153.75 per month
Is a limited company selling on Etsy. They make around 150 sales and 50 purchases a month. They are VAT registered and want to hand over their bookkeeping, VAT returns, annual accounts and corporation tax returns. They also want quarterly Business Pause sessions.
£392.00 per month
If you’ve made it all the way down here and you’re still with me, woohoo! The next step is to get on the books* and I’ll get in touch when I’m next taking on clients. I do it this way because I want to make sure that my current amazing clients and any new clients that I take on, both get the attention and care they deserve.
So what happens after I get in touch? We book a free 15-minute call. Don’t worry, I won’t try to sell you a single thing in this call! We’ll just talk about your business and what you need and see if we’re a good fit for each other. If we are, then we’ll set up a separate proposal meeting where you will get a completely tailored price for your business. I won’t try to sell you anything in that call either! We’ll discuss what options you want to pick and choose from and the calculator will pop out a price. The ball is then completely in your court as to whether you want to work together or not. You don’t even have to decide on the day! The quote will be valid for 30 days. So there’s no rush.
What are you waiting for?
*You’re not signing up for a newsletter and I’ll only contact you when I have capacity to take you on. Could be tomorrow, could be next month. If you find someone else to work with in the meantime, that’s totally cool… I won’t cry, honest.
