Bookkeeping

Online bookkeeping services that keep your numbers in order.

Accurate, review-ready books without hiring in-house. We handle your monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, payables and receivables, and reporting — remotely, in QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books or Odoo — so you always know where your business stands. For small and medium-sized businesses worldwide.

What's included

Everything needed to keep your books accurate and current, handled for you every period.

  • Monthly bookkeeping — transactions recorded and categorised against a clean chart of accounts, every period.
  • Bank & credit-card reconciliations — every account reconciled so your software matches reality.
  • Accounts payable & receivable — bills and invoices tracked so you know what's owed and what's owing.
  • Payroll support — payroll recorded and reconciled into the books correctly.
  • Financial statements — up-to-date profit & loss and balance sheet you can rely on.

Remote, worldwide, on cloud accounting

We're a remote-first studio.

Your data stays in your own accounts, secured with role-based access, and we are happy to sign an NDA before we start.

Why Update My Books

We're a Finance × Technology studio, not a data-entry shop. Farhan brings 13+ years of international accounting experience, so your books reflect real accounting rules and are ready for tax, lenders or investors. And because we also build software, the integrations, migrations and custom reporting that trip up other bookkeepers are just part of what we do.
