If your Xero file is messy, your bank rec is overdue, or bookkeeping has quietly stacked up — Steady Books gets things back under control.
Ideal for businesses that have fallen behind and need their records back in shape before moving forward.
Good fit
Cleanup work is for businesses that know things have slipped and want practical help getting back on top.
Your Xero bank account hasn’t been properly reconciled and the backlog keeps growing.
Purchase invoices haven’t been uploaded consistently or sales invoicing has become messy.
Your bookkeeping is no longer in a state that’s easy to trust or manage with confidence.
Finance admin has been pushed down the list and is now creating stress or uncertainty.
You want someone to tidy things up before moving onto a simple, ongoing monthly process.
You need a clear view of where your bookkeeping stands and what needs addressing first.
Our approach
A lot of small businesses fall behind on bookkeeping. It happens. The important thing is getting back into shape with a clear plan — not feeling embarrassed about where things are right now.
We look at the current state of your bookkeeping and work out what needs attention first.
We tackle the backlog and tidy up the most important areas so things feel manageable again.
Once things are under control, we can keep them that way with monthly support from £195 per month.
Scope
Every catch-up project is different, but these are the most common areas that need attention.
Bringing overdue bookkeeping up to date so your records are more complete and manageable.
Working through unreconciled transactions and cleaning up the account history in Xero.
Uploading and processing missing invoices so the books are organised and easier to follow.
Reviewing the current setup and bringing more structure and consistency back into the file.
Cleanup and catch-up work is quoted individually based on backlog volume, the condition of the Xero file, and the type of support needed. If ongoing monthly support makes sense afterwards, packages start from £195 per month.
Monthly support
Many businesses use a cleanup project as the first step, then move to regular monthly support once the backlog is under control.
For smaller businesses needing straightforward ongoing bookkeeping help
For businesses with more activity or heavier monthly support needs
Process
Simple from start to finish — review the situation, quote the work, then get the backlog sorted.
We learn where things stand and what has built up in Xero or your general bookkeeping admin.
You get a clear scope of work, what’s included, and the best next step forward.
We tackle the agreed cleanup and bring the books back into a tidier, clearer state.
Move onto a simple monthly bookkeeping package from £195 per month if needed.
If your bookkeeping has fallen behind, Steady Books can help you tidy things up, catch up the backlog, and put a better process in place going forward.
