About me
I’m a highly experienced bookkeeper totally committed to my clients and helping them succeed. I have been a bookkeeper for more than 20 years. At first I worked in a chartered accountancy practice where I gained a lot of commercial experience. After that, I branched out on my own. I really enjoy what I do and am a member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB). I’m based in London Colney, near St Albans in Hertfordshire.
In the past few years, the power of cloud-based accounting software has transformed how quickly I can get the job done and the financial insights I’m able to provide that help my clients’ businesses. I work with most of the popular accounts packages such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Freeagent.

You get me!
I am Karen, Karen the Bookkeeper. With me, you know who you are dealing with. I’m not a member of staff, not someone allocated to you by a bookkeeping firm (who always seem to be “looking to recruit experienced bookkeepers”), but me, the founder and owner. I’m independent, not an extra revenue stream for a firm of accountants.

A proven approach
I understand how important it is for organisations to have efficient, well thought-out bookkeeping systems. Helping companies organise their finances is part and parcel of what I do.
I like to get to know clients – to understand their aims. Most are business owners who want to grow their company. I’m used to this and able to help them on their journey. The services I provide are tailored to suit.
Close liaison with your accountant
While I take care of the bookkeeping, freeing you up to focus on your business, the best results are achieved by working collaboratively in partnership. So, I keep customers in the picture and am keen to hear about any new needs. Clients say I am friendly and approachable. Working this way ensures the best possible results. I always deliver the best I can, on time with integrity.
