"Effortless Bookkeeping for Sole Traders and Limited Companies!"
simple | smart | supportive
Welcome to Blu Bookkeeping – Your Partner in Stress-Free Finances
​
Are you tired of the bookkeeping headaches? The endless spreadsheets, the receipts you swore you'd organize months ago, and the never-ending chase for numbers that make sense.
​
I get it. I’m here to take that burden off your shoulders, so you can focus on what really matters – growing your business.
​ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who I Am
I’m Julie Holland, an ICB-qualified bookkeeper and Xero Certified Advisor with 5 years of experience running Blu Bookkeeping in Reading, Berkshire, and 40 years in finance.
​
I work with sole traders, startups, side-hustlers, and small limited companies who are ready to ditch the DIY bookkeeping stress and hand it over to a professional.
​
I’m fully virtual and cloud-based, using modern apps like Xero, AutoEntry, Apron and GoCardless to keep your bookkeeping simple, smart, and streamlined.
​
My goal? To save you time, reduce stress, and help your business stay compliant.
​ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I Do
I offer more than just number-crunching. My services include:
-
Monthly Bookkeeping: No more last-minute scrambling at tax time. Keep your records accurate, your VAT returns ready, and your accounts HMRC-compliant.
-
Financial Reporting: Clear, actionable reports with a short monthly video where I explain your financial results and what they mean for your business.
-
Fixed Monthly Fees: Transparent, predictable pricing – no hidden surprises.

Making Tax Digital (MTD for ITSA)
From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA) will change how sole traders and landlords report their income to HMRC.
​
Instead of one annual tax return, you’ll need to submit quarterly updates through MTD-compatible software.
As a Xero Certified bookkeeper, I can help you prepare now so you’re ready for the switch.
​
I’ll make sure your bookkeeping is accurate, digital, and fully compliant – so you don’t need to worry. (See more on my MTD for IT page for details.)
​ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
