For small business
Small business finance, done properly
Bookkeeping, payroll and the year end done and filed on time. Plus a simple monthly snapshot and a forward view of your cash. And every set of accounts read against the numbers that matter, so you know how the business is really doing.
Every set of accounts, read for what it means
When AI Finance Partners files a small business's statutory accounts, it always goes one step further. Every set is read against established financial ratios and sector benchmarks, so you learn how the business is actually performing, where it is strong, where value is leaking, and the focused actions that would move it forward.
The filing is the by product. The insight is the point. This is what every accountant should give an owner, and most do not. A typical small business accountant files the numbers and moves on. AI Finance Partners files the numbers, then tells you in plain English what they mean and what to do next.
What a small business gets
Take the lot as one finance function, or just the parts you are missing. Fixed monthly fees, agreed up front, sized to your business.
- Bookkeeping, from £120 a month. Records kept clean and current, bank reconciled, cloud software set up, so you always know exactly where you stand.
- Payroll, from £8 a payslip. Staff paid correctly and on time, RTI filings and auto enrolment pensions handled, without you chasing a deadline.
- Year end accounts and tax, from £75 a month. Year end accounts, corporation tax, VAT and self assessment prepared, checked and filed, signed off by a qualified accountant.
- Management accounts and cashflow, from £180 a month. A simple monthly snapshot and a forward view of your cash, so you can plan the next few months rather than react to them.
More than a bookkeeper
A bookkeeper gives you the past. A year end accountant files it. Neither tells you what it means or what is coming. AI Finance Partners adds the simple forward view, a monthly snapshot and a cash outlook, so the everyday decisions get made with a clear mind and not on gut. That is the step up, and for a small business it is the difference between surviving the year and building something.

Common questions
How much does small business accounting cost? A fixed monthly fee agreed up front. Bookkeeping from £120 a month, payroll from £8 a payslip, year end accounts and tax from £75 a month, and a monthly management snapshot with a cash view from £180 a month. No hourly surprises. AI Finance Partners sizes the fee to your business and tells you what it covers before you commit.
Do I get more than a bookkeeper? Yes. A bookkeeper records what happened and a year end accountant files it. AI Finance Partners does both, then reads the accounts against established financial ratios and sector benchmarks and tells you in plain English how the business is really performing and what to do next. That reading is built in, not an extra.
Can you switch me from my current accountant? Yes, and it is simple. One letter of authority and AI Finance Partners handles the whole handover with your current accountant. Nothing for you to chase and no gap in your filings.
Do you work with sole traders and small limited companies? Yes. Sole traders, partnerships and small limited companies are all welcome, whether or not you are VAT registered. Above the £90,000 VAT threshold, VAT returns are included in the monthly fee.
