I've moved not just one business to East river, but a number. If you’re a small business it’s the place to be — you’ll save time and sleep.

Great service with great customer support — making our accounting easy and painless.
Varosi Vickor Progressive International (Services) Ltd.
East river uncovered many issues that went unnoticed by our accountant. Amazing East river staff now optimises our tax.
Stanislav Karpenko GIVE VISION Ltd.
I love the app, it's so easy to use and means I can talk to them at any time, day or night (often night when you have babies!)
Harriette Foulkes-Arnold We are Contented Ltd.
East river is reasonably priced and very convenient. I ended up signing my documents while I was on the tube!
Randeep Sudan Multivertz Ltd.
Many accountants I reached out to either never responded or charged extortionate amounts of money. I joined East river and I'm incredibly happy I did.
Pawel Wargan freelancer
I set up a business and was getting bogged down in the admin. East river has taken this all away from me. East river is Awesome!
Dave Wallace DW4DAYS Ltd.
Everything was so seamless, it even looked like a fraud 😀 I didn’t have to go anywhere, I just use the web and mobile app to sign the docs.
Ivan Zeljkovic Evans Media Ltd.
I’m actually surprised they kept all their promises! I found East river on Friday and on Monday morning everything was ready.
Why choose bookkeeping services outsourcing with East river?
If you’re thinking “Where can I find bookkeeping near me?”, look no further. Our bookkeeping team answers fast online.
• We use Xero for daily bookkeeping. The software connects to your banks and updates transactions’ data every 24 hours. It means we can show real-time data in your account: the current balance from different banks, invoices awaiting payment, and the bills you need to pay.
• Our bookkeeping experts are available online 24/7 via an in-app chat. We answer any questions, track filing deadlines, and give proactive advice to help you run your business smarter.
• Choose from three diverse accounting plans designed for your company. Our bookkeeping packages are based on the number of transactions you have every month. You only pay for what you need, and when your business grows, it’s easy to upgrade to a bigger plan.
• The worst part about bookkeeping is dealing with reams of papers, so we developed a software that does housekeeping for docs. Upload them any way that works for you: email, drag and drop on your laptop, or take pics with your phone. Then just watch them get magically organised.
If you upload an invoice, we recognise what it is, tag it, assign an account, identify the date, total due, and counterparty details.
• With all these docs, someone has to make sure they’re reconciled. Sounds like a job for robots! We’ve created Asker — a tireless algorithm that goes through documents and transactions, matches them, and reports to you what’s missing. It is fit to deal with even complicated cases. For example, if you need several docs for a single transaction.
Offload bookkeeping responsibilities to East river and free yourself from the routine.
Q&A
How much do bookkeeping services cost?
We have flexible plans depending on the number of transactions your business has. A transaction is any deposit into or withdrawal from the bank. This way you only pay for the real work done.
How accounting with East river works?
You need to send us your receipts in invoices in any format you have them, like scans or pictures on your phone. If anything is amiss, East river platform makes it easy to track docs and gently reminds you to send them in. Everything else we'll do ourselves.
Are you going to work with my accountant?
We love to work alongside accountants and accountants love to work with us. It is our job to record transactions, collect all corresponding documents, and prepare trial balances and financial statements. The accountant takes it from there: calculates taxes, comes up with tax optimization ideas, prepares forecasts, etc.
Which accounting software do you use?
We have our own platform that you can access from a desktop or mobile device. You can send the docs easily, have your files stored and sorted out, and ask questions 24/7. We are integrated with Xero — an elegant accounting solution for small and medium businesses used by 2 million clients worldwide. East river is Xero's platinum partner and an approved app. The migration takes just a few minutes and we make it happen ourselves.
Is it hard to migrate to Xero from Quickbooks or Sage?
Transferring to Xero is easy and free. You'll need to download a CSV file containing your data from the current provider and send it to us. We'll take care of the rest: upload it into Xero and set up your new account.
Can I do bookkeeping without experience?
You have to be licensed to provide bookkeeping services in the UK. There are multiple associations that provide such licenses, some of the most acknowledged include Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). East river employs ACCA certified accountants who get their qualifications regularly updated.
Why is accounting important?
Accounting tracks all your business activities and assets. Any time you spend, lose or make money, your bookkeeper adds it to the books. Your accountant then builds reports using these numbers. The government requests these reports to calculate how much tax you owe and whether you are exempted from some of it. Mistakes could be costly: the government punishes wrong reports with fines. Not to mention, you probably base your evaluations and plans on the same numbers. So, making sure your accounting is accurate is crucial.
