Bookkeeping, VAT & tax support, and virtual assistance for small businesses — built around clarity, accuracy, and a team that actually replies.
Serving small businesses and startups across the UK and internationally.
I'm Mary — CA Inter qualified and an ACCA finalist, currently training in external audit, with prior experience in internal audit covering corporate and operations finance. I started Mary VA Solver because small businesses and startups are often stuck choosing between doing their own books badly or paying large firm rates for basic support.
I work with a small, reliable remote team so you get consistent, accurate support without the overhead of hiring in-house.
Pick one task or hand over the whole ledger — start small, scale as you need.
| Service | What's included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly bookkeeping | Transaction categorisation, bank reconciliation, tidy records ready for filing | Small businesses with regular transactions |
| VAT returns | Preparation and filing of UK VAT returns, deadline tracking | VAT-registered UK businesses |
| Management accounts | Monthly P&L and balance sheet, reviewed before delivery | Founders who want visibility without hiring a CFO |
| Virtual assistance | Inbox management, scheduling, data entry, admin support | Founders drowning in day-to-day admin |
| Startup setup | Chart of accounts and accounting software setup (Xero/QuickBooks) | New businesses getting their finances in order |
Our working hours overlap comfortably with the UK business day, so you're never waiting long for a reply.
A leaner cost base means you get accurate, reviewed work without paying large-firm rates.
You deal directly with me — I review the work before it reaches you, so nothing slips through.
Begin with a single task — a reconciliation, a VAT return — and expand only once you're confident in the work.
Tell me a bit about your business and what you need help with — I'll reply personally, usually within a day.
