Welcome to Glasgow Bookkeepers
Running a business is not easy. But at Glasgow Bookkeepers, our goal is to make it easier for you.
Whether it’s getting paid by your customers on time, completing your VAT returns, processing payroll or submitting your annual accounts and tax returns, the demands on businesses can seem endless. And it’s almost certainly not why you got into business in the first place. It is, however, exactly why we got into business. We do the things you avoid because where your business is concerned, you do the real work, we do the paperwork.
When it comes to bespoke business accounting solutions, it all begins with what we don’t do.
We don’t tell you that you have to use off the shelf systems such as Sage and Xero. Just because we happen to know how to use them doesn’t mean that they are the right solution for you.
We begin the process with what is important to your business needs NOT what we are trying to sell you. For us the key is making it easier for you to give us the information we need to create high quality accounts and management information to effectively organise your business on the day to day side. We pride ourselves on building custom built MySQL cloud solutions that allow your business to run smoothly while all the accountancy processes runs seamlessly in the background.
As you would expect with bespoke solutions, every client gets a tailored made system for them. Thing of it like this, if your business is a square peg, we will build you a square hole.
Since a rather wet and windy March 2008 Glasgow Bookkeepers has steadily grown from dealing exclusively with like minded kitchen table sole traders into a city wide bookkeeping service renowned for it’s skill and expertise.
Covering the full range of bookkeeping services that the typical business would require, Glasgow Bookkeepers go the step further by offering not just what you expect, but what you need (even if you didn’t know you need it).
From VAT returns and payroll services to custom built MySQL databases as part of our Bespoke Services; from a once a year service (such as annual accounts) to a daily interaction service into your business; we can be as integrated with your business as you want us to be.
Let's get the ball rolling
So hopefully we have convinced you to take the next step and get in touch.

Why are we doing this?
First and foremost, we know the hospitality sector. Working with so many bars and restaurants in Glasgow over the years has allowed us to develop processes and systems that are particularly suited to this sector. We also know just how badly affected the whole sector has been by Covid. It’s been brutal for everyone, but it’s been absolutely devastating for your industry.
So a big part of this deal is simply because we want to help.
We want to do something to help businesses get through 2021 and hopefully have a strong 2022. This is not altruism, we want to build strong relationships with Bars and Restaurants in this sector for years to come and for that to happen there needs to be a hospitality sector to work with.
When the government announced furlough, we provided the necessary support for making the claims for no additional charge. We know a lot of accountancy firms and payroll providers took a different route, but for us it just seemed wrong to be charging clients for accessing a service designed to help them survive. Because put simply. If our clients don’t survive, we don’t survive.
We know that we can provide an exceptional service to bars and restaurants. We know we can make your lives easier, and we know we can provide you with really useful management information. And now, more than ever, getting on top of your books and having good information to run your business is critical.
We don’t do hourly rates, we provide fixed price quotes because that fixed pricing can allow you some stability in what is still a rough road ahead. By doing the bookkeeping for free, we can help our local businesses and trust that by the end of the year, we will have shown you just how valuable our service can be for a prosperous future beyond lockdown.
