Why Choose The Social Sphere for Bookkeeping?
We're not a faceless accountancy firm. We're a small, dedicated team that genuinely wants your business to succeed. Hollie brings years of experience alongside her bookkeeping qualification - she's organised, thorough, and easy to work with. You'll always know what's been done, what's coming up, and where your finances stand.
We work remotely with businesses across the UK, so wherever you're based — whether that's Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, or Cambridgeshire — we can support you. And because we use Xero, you'll have full visibility of your accounts whenever you need it.

Most small businesses need both - but they do different things. A bookkeeper handles your day-to-day financial records: income, expenses, invoices, and reconciliation. An accountant uses those records to file your year-end accounts and provide financial advice. Good bookkeeping actually reduces your accountancy fees, because your accountant isn't spending time sorting out your records.

We work with Xero as our primary bookkeeping software, and can also work with Sage. If you're not already using Xero, we can help you set it up and migrate your records across.
