Why use a self-employed bookkeeper?
Most large companies have their own financial departments, which take care of their bookkeeping. However, this is not usually an option for sole traders and smaller businesses. The cost of employing a bookkeeper in-house is normally prohibitive, because of the need to pay wages, national insurance, holiday pay, sick pay, employee liability insurance, accommodation and equipment. A self employed bookkeeper will be available as and when you need them, but will not incur the on-going costs of in-house employees.
