The Backroom Limited

The Backroom Limited A bookkeeping and accounting service that is more grown up than most and less costly to run than an Think of us an accounts department. Yippee!

If what we offered was purely bookkeeping we wouldn’t be in business - we are successful because what we do is more than bookkeeping. There are five of us in the team sharing a couple of back rooms in Penzance. We use all the usual software, Sage, Quickbooks, Microsoft Excel, etc. and can even do conventional double entry bookkeeping on paper if anyone is old fashioned enough to ask for it. We’re

very happy to sort out jumbled piles of receipts and invoices and take away all of the paper trail nastiness that the tax and vat man demand. Our clients typically work in or around the creative industries, and vary in size from individuals to small businesses with about twenty members of staff. We are registered as agents with HMRC, empowering us to communicate on behalf of our clients who require this, which could mean that you never have to speak to them again.
