Friendly, reliable bookkeeping for small businesses, landlords, small limited companies and company directors so you can focus on your business and enjoy life outside of it.
Hi, I’m Amy, the founder of Books By Brown. I’m an AAT-qualified accountant with nine years of experience, mostly within the construction industry.
My life changed in the best way when I had my little boy in November 2024. Becoming a mum made me rethink what work should look like. I knew I wanted something flexible, family-friendly and fulfilling.
That’s how Books By Brown began: bookkeeping that gives you your time back, so you can focus on your business and enjoy life outside of it.
Helping small businesses streamline their bookkeeping
Everything I do is cloud-based. No folders, no envelopes, no dropping paperwork off. You can send, upload or snap receipts wherever you are, and everything is stored securely online.
I use Xero because it’s a reliable, HMRC-recognised accounting system that allows me to keep your bookkeeping accurate, organised, and compliant.
It provides a clear structure for recording income and expenses and produces meaningful reports that show how your business is performing.
A professional accounting system that supports MTD compliance
Clear reporting to help you understand your business performance
Software that grows with your business
No more shoeboxes or lost receipts. I use a simple electronic expense capture system where you can:
Take photos of receipts on your phone
Forward purchase invoices by email
Upload documents in seconds
Less admin
No last-minute scrambling
Everything ready when it’s needed

We’ll use shared online folders so documents are always easy to find and securely stored. No digging through emails or wondering what you’ve already sent.
One clear place for everything
Faster turnaround
No repeated requests for the same info
I use automated email reminders for key deadlines, with plenty of notice, not last-minute stress. You’ll always know what’s needed and when.
Deadlines met calmly
No penalties or rushed decisions
Peace of mind

Making Tax Digital is a HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) program to modernise the UK tax system, requiring businesses and individuals to keep digital records and use MTD-compatible software to submit tax information.
MTD for VAT is already mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses, regardless of turnover.
MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment is being phased in for sole traders and landlords. In 2026, if your turnover if over £50,000, you'll need to adhere to MTD requirements.
Instead of a single annual tax return, affected individuals will need to send quarterly updates of income and expenses to HMRC via MTD software (like Xero), followed by a final year-end declaration.
