how it works

1

send it as it comes

Snap receipts on your phone, forward invoices by email, connect your bank feed. No shoebox, no spreadsheet, no month-end panic.

2

coded and reconciled

Every transaction is coded properly in Xero and your bank stays reconciled. Anything unclear comes back as one quick question, not a stream of messages.

3

ready every morning

Your books are always current, so you can see how the business is doing, VAT time is calm, and your accountant's year-end bill shrinks.

what we take off your plate

monthly bookkeeping

Receipts and bills processed, sales invoices recorded, bank reconciled every working day. Clean, up-to-date books your accountant will thank you for.

Xero setup & migration

Set up on Xero properly from day one, or moved over from spreadsheets and other software. Chart of accounts, opening balances, bank feeds, the lot.

pricing

from £99 a month.

Priced on your transaction volume: the floor is a simple business with a quiet bank account. A fixed monthly price agreed up front, so there are no surprises when things get busy. No tie-in, cancel monthly.

who’s behind it

books by nine is run by Alex Greig, a UK business owner who has kept his own companies’ books for years and is currently studying for his professional bookkeeping qualifications ahead of launch. Your accountant gets clean numbers; you get your evenings back.
