Practical Admin Support

This page explains what Practical Admin Support covers, who it suits, and how to take the first step.

On this page:

1. In plain English

Practical Admin Support is for small businesses or community organisations that need help bringing order to financial paperwork or admin records.

This is practical organisation and clarity work — it’s not regulated bookkeeping or accountancy work.

2. Who this might help

This may suit sole traders, small businesses, landlords and community groups whose financial admin has built up into a backlog, or who simply want a clearer system going forward.

3. What’s included

This might include:

  • sorting and labelling documents;
  • creating a simple record structure;
  • separating business paperwork by type or period;
  • helping identify missing or unclear documents;
  • improving basic filing or record-keeping habits;
  • getting your information ready so you can have a more useful conversation with an accountant or adviser.

4. Pricing

This is scoped and quoted individually depending on your situation — see the Pricing page for indicative pricing on related services, or get in touch for a quote.

5. Current service status

HMRC AML registration has been submitted and paid for and is currently awaiting confirmation. MRS Bookkeeping is not a money service business, or a trust or company service provider, so HMRC’s own guidance confirms it can trade while that application is being processed.

Alongside records organisation, bookkeeping-readiness, practical admin support, education and clarity work, MRS Bookkeeping now also offers bookkeeping for client use, accounts preparation, VAT return preparation, MTD submissions and tax return preparation. Payroll services and formal tax advice will be added once AML supervision is confirmed.

For more detail, please see the AML / Service Scope page.

6. Before sending documents

Please do not send bank statements, ID documents, tax records, payroll information or other confidential documents until I have confirmed the appropriate secure handover method.

A short description of the situation is enough to begin. If documents are needed, I will explain what is needed and how they should be provided.

For more information, please see the Data Handling / Client Records Notice.

7. Before work begins

No paid work starts without a clear written scope and agreed terms.

Before paid work begins, I will normally confirm what is included, what is excluded, the price or pricing basis, any limits on volume, time, records or documents, expected timescales, what information or records are needed, how documents should be provided, and payment, cancellation or refund terms where relevant.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a client relationship.

8. What happens next

  1. You send a short message about your situation.
  2. I usually reply within 2 business days.
  3. If it looks suitable, I provide a written scope and indicative price.
  4. No work starts until scope, price and terms are agreed.
