Bookkeeping

Clear numbers, total control

Running a restaurant, bar, hotel or café means decisions are made daily — often fast. When your bookkeeping lags or lacks clarity, you’re flying blind on cash, costs, and performance.

We keep your books accurate, current, and decision-ready. Sales, purchases, bank reconciliations and reporting are handled properly and consistently, giving you clear visibility over where your business really stands — not months later, but now.
1. Day-to-Day Bookkeeping

We process your sales, purchases, and expenses accurately and consistently, keeping your records up to date as your business trades. Whether you’re running a single site or a growing group, your numbers stay organised and reliable — without you needing to chase paperwork or second-guess the data.

2. Bank & Card Reconciliations

We reconcile your bank accounts, card machines, and payment platforms so every transaction is accounted for and nothing slips through the cracks. This gives you confidence that the cash you expect is the cash you’ve actually received — and that your figures reflect reality.

3. VAT-Ready Records

Clean bookkeeping makes VAT straightforward. We maintain records in line with HMRC requirements, ensuring your figures are accurate, complete, and ready when it’s time to submit. No last-minute scrambles, no nasty surprises.

4. Working With Your Accountant (If You Have One)

If you already use an accountant, we deliver clean, reconciled bookkeeping data that plugs straight into year-end and tax work. Or, if you prefer a joined-up service, we can manage everything under one roof — keeping the numbers consistent from day-to-day trading through to year-end.

Why This Is Important

Hospitality runs on momentum. When your bookkeeping lags, you lose visibility — cash flow gets fuzzy, margins get guessed, and decisions get made on instinct instead of fact. That’s when good businesses drift and great ones stall.

With Handy Accounting Services, your books become a live picture of your business. Sales, costs, and cash are kept accurate and up to date, giving you clarity when it matters — not months later at year-end. You know where you stand, what’s working, and what needs attention.

Because in hospitality, control isn’t about slowing down — it’s about knowing exactly when to push, when to pause, and when to change gear.
