Bookkeeping for companies in the UK and beyond · kept remotely from South Africa
Clean books.Kept by one person.
For owner-managed companies, most of them in the UK, that appoint a remote South African bookkeeper. Clients anywhere: the same books, the same written answers. Not a platform, not a pool. One person who knows your books.
Reply within two business days. A fixed price, or a plain no.
Who this is for
Owner-managed companies, roughly 1 to 20 people, anywhere.
- Your books are behind.Months of arrears, or a year rebuilt in a panic the week before the accountant asks.
- You already have an accountant, or will get one.We keep the books clean and current so their bill stays about advice, not data entry.
- You do not want a pool.You want the same person each month, who remembers why that supplier is coded that way.
- Your software is already chosen.QuickBooks, Sage Evolution, Microsoft GP, or a spreadsheet you would rather not discuss.
- Wherever you are.Clients globally. The UK is the core of this, and beyond it only the clock changes: you still get one person and answers in writing.
What you get
The monthly work, and the mess before it.
- Monthly bookkeeping, kept current.Bank, debtors, creditors, supplier records, reconciliations. In your login, not ours.
- A short plain-English note each month.What the numbers say, what to look at, what is still missing from you.
- Catch-up cleanups.Duplicated entries, personal spend sitting in the business, unclear supplier lists, suspense accounts that no longer balance.
- A fixed monthly fee.Quoted in writing after we see the state of the books. No surprise invoices.
What this refuses to be
The line, said out loud.
- No VAT returns and no Making Tax Digital filings yet. If you are VAT-registered, we are not your whole answer today.
- No page of services pretending to be a service. If a job is outside the line, it gets named, not absorbed.
- No agency that passes your books to whoever is free that week.
- No tax advice dressed up as bookkeeping. Tax and VAT work is not offered at present, though that is moving. Ask anyway and you get a straight answer about who should do the work.
Tax, said plainly
Not offered yet. Not hidden either.
VAT and tax work is not offered at present. Airem Solutions is in the process of becoming a registered tax practitioner in South Africa. When that registration is granted, this page changes the same week and names the number. Until then, do not read this site as a tax service.
If a tax question is already sitting on your desk, write to [email protected]. You will get a straight answer: what we can do, what stays with your accountant, and who to ask if it is not us.
The shape of the work.
The work starts with the bank statements, not the software. Every line matched, every suspense entry re-coded or explained, duplicate supplier records merged, personal spend separated and listed. If the figures cannot be made to match the bank, you are told that too.
What it costs is quoted in writing once the state of the books is known. No hourly drift, no surprise invoice.
Who you are writing to
Twenty years in finance roles: bookkeeper, credit controller, senior accountant, financial controller, stock accountant. Payroll administration to NQF Level 4. QuickBooks online, Sage Evolution, Microsoft GP, Excel.
You get one point of contact who does the work, not an account manager who forwards it. Everything in writing, including the bad news.
