Your digital bookkeeper for UK accounting practices

Less chasing.
More accounting.

BookkeepMate works like an extra pair of hands in your practice, day and night, all year round. It collects receipts and statements from clients on WhatsApp and email, does the data entry, chases what's missing and hands you a ready-to-upload file for your accounting software. You check it, you approve it, you stay in charge.

Sound familiar?

More clients. More transactions. More deadlines. The same team.

BookkeepMate gives your practice the bookkeeping capacity it needs, without the recruitment, training or salary costs.

Chasing clients for receipts

The same reminders, every month, by email, text and phone. Then a shoebox of paper the week before the deadline.

Typing up paperwork

Keying in invoices, picking account codes and VAT rates, spotting duplicates. Hours that nobody pays you for.

MTD four times a year

Making Tax Digital turns one annual deadline into quarterly updates for sole traders and landlords. Same team, four times the admin.

How it works

Works like a bookkeeper. Never forgets to chase.

Client paperwork comes in from everywhere. BookkeepMate does the work on UK servers, and nothing reaches your accounting software until you approve it.

Diagram: WhatsApp, email, bank statements and uploads flow into BookkeepMate on UK servers. Out come a ready-to-upload CSV for Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, client reminders, a deadline calendar and an audit trail. Nothing goes out until you approve.

Features

Everything a good bookkeeper does, without the hiring

Smart chasing

Friendly reminders on WhatsApp and email that follow up until the paperwork arrives.

Approved items exported in the import format your accounting software expects. Upload and you're done.

Questions accountants ask

Does it replace Dext or AutoEntry?

It can work alongside them or on its own. BookkeepMate focuses on collecting and chasing paperwork through WhatsApp and email, preparing ready-to-upload files and tracking MTD quarters.

Do my clients need to install anything?

No. They send photos to your practice WhatsApp number or forward emails to your docs@ address.

Does it file anything with HMRC?

No. It prepares the work and flags questions. You review, approve and submit with your existing software.

Which accounting software does it support?

BookkeepMate prepares a CSV in the import format your accounting software expects, including Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, so you can upload it directly. Using something else? Send us its import template and we'll match it.
