CR Bookkeeping
Trades and small business

      

I'm Connor. I look after the books, VAT, payroll and tax returns for tradespeople and small businesses.

Most are owed a refund.

I'll find out how much.

A bookkeeper who answers the phone and explains the numbers.

I started CR Bookkeeping because tradespeople and small firms kept telling me the same thing: their accountant was expensive, slow to reply, and talked in a language they didn't use.

How it works

Three steps, most of which are mine.

1

Tell me about the business

Use the form or ring me. I'll come back within a working day with a couple of questions and a fixed price.

2

Send what you've got

Bank statements, invoices, receipts, CIS statements. Photos over WhatsApp are fine; I'll tell you if anything's missing.

3

I deal with HMRC

Books done, returns filed, deadlines tracked. You get a short summary of what you owe, or what's coming back.

Tax reminders, what you can claim, and the odd client thank-you.

Stop overpaying tax! ⚠️ Many business owners aren’t aware of all the legitimate expenses they may be entitled to claim, things like: ✅ Home office costs ✅ Phone bill (business portion %) ✅ Fuel (business portion %) ✅ Tools & equipment ✅ Software subscriptions ✅ & much more depending on your industry If you’d like support keeping your records organised and tax-efficient, then give me a message! 📧 connor@crbookkeeping.co.uk 👉 Dm @cr_bookkeeping
📣 Diary now open for Self Assessment & MTD clients 📣 If you’re self-employed or earning additional income, now’s the time to get organised ahead of the deadline. What is MTD (Making Tax Digital)? It’s HMRC’s move towards a fully digital tax system. Instead of one yearly tax return, you’ll need to keep digital records and submit updates throughout the year using compatible software. Does it apply to you? 👉 From April 2026, MTD will apply if you’re self-employed or a landlord earning over £50,000 👉 From April 2027, it drops to £30,000 👉 More thresholds expected after that If that’s you — it’s worth getting set up early to avoid the stress later. ✔️ Stress-free filing ✔️ Maximise your deductions ✔️ Fully HMRC compliant Drop me a message to get booked in 📩 — CR Bookkeeping

Questions people ask before they get in touch

If yours isn't here, ask anyway. Nobody has ever asked me a daft one.

Fixed prices, agreed in writing before any work starts. A straightforward Self-Assessment return is a flat fee; bookkeeping and payroll are priced monthly depending on how much there is to do. Ask for a quote and you'll have a number, not a range.
