Stuart Kerr, founder of Bookkeeping Packages Ltd, with 20 years bookkeeping experience

Hi, I'm Stuart

Bookkeeper. Plain English. No Jargon.

Good bookkeeping isn't glamorous - but it is the difference between a business that runs smoothly and one that's constantly firefighting.

With over 20 years of experience, I handle the day-to-day numbers so your books are always clean, your VAT is always on time and you always know exactly where your business stands financially.

Simple fixed monthly packages and a bookkeeper who actually knows your business. That's what Bookkeeping Packages is all about.
