Cost Effective Solution for Small and Medium Sized Businesses in Hove

Gersha founded Umbrella Bookkeeping after working for many years in a premier financial institution in Brighton. During this time Gersha recognised the need for business (both small and medium) to have a more cost effective solution for their bookkeeping and financial needs. By leaving bookkeeping and accounts preparation to your accountant at year end, your business is not keeping track of essential management data throughout the year. Having these details to hand, as well as a Cashflow forecast vs Actuals and key performance indicators, you can see how your business is performing, and most importantly, in which areas it needs attention. Brighton and Hove based, Gersha fully understands local business conditions, which enables her to impart detailed support and advice that exceeds your average bookkeeping services.

We offer a versatile range of pricing options for our bookkeeping services in Hove, from one-off ad-hoc tasks to more regular bookkeeping, you can choose the option that best suits your business: 

Ad-Hoc (£25.00 per hour) - For one-off jobs that you are unsure exactly how long they will take. This service is perfect for those clients that do not feel the need for the regular service of a bookkeeper. If appropriate, after having fulfilled your ad-hoc job, you may want to discuss a more regular service.

Regular (£22.50 per hour) - If you need services on a more permanent basis then we suggest using our regular pricing structure with the added benefit of a reduced hourly rate. This is our most popular service by far. However, we can also provide fixed rates (see below).
