Automated, audit-grade monthly bookkeeping reviewed by qualified accountants — your records reconciled, referenced and ready for any auditor, lender or regulator, all year round.
What we do
We keep books the way an auditor expects to find them. Automation captures and posts the documents; qualified accountants review every month against the standard of evidence an ISA audit demands.
The monthly cycle is fixed: documents are captured and posted as they arrive, bank and balance-sheet accounts are reconciled, and a qualified accountant reviews the file and posts the correcting journals before the month is closed. Your records stay current, VAT-ready and audit-ready — every month, at a price you agree before we start.
Document capture & OCR
Invoices and receipts uploaded to your portal are read, extracted and posted automatically — coded consistently and VAT-ready, with the source document attached to every entry.
Bank reconciliations
Every bank, EMI and card account reconciled to the ledger each month — differences investigated, not carried forward.
Reviewed, at a published price
A qualified accountant reviews the postings and passes the necessary journals every period — on a monthly fee set by what you spend each month (from €24 self-employed, from €49 for a company, including one bank account) through Xero, QuickBooks or Sage.
Scoped clearly, delivered fully.
Businesses that want their books done properly without doing them — and never want a VAT inspection, audit or due-diligence review to find a backlog.
Who performs your audit?
A4 performs independent audits for eligible clients, subject to engagement acceptance and an independence assessment. If A4 keeps your books, a separate partner audit firm carries out the audit or review. Your written engagement identifies the appointed audit firm, scope, fee and each firm’s responsibilities. Documents, requests and progress are managed through your A4 client portal.
Overdue bookkeeping brought current in six weeks
A Malta trading company had 14 months of unmanaged records, unreconciled bank accounts and no visibility ahead of a VAT inspection.
A4 rebuilt the ledger from source documents, reconciled every account and restored monthly reporting — with a fixed fee agreed before work started.
