Xero Starter covers the essentials, including bank feeds, invoicing (up to 20 invoices and 5 bills), payments, VAT, budgeting, etc.
- Bookkeeping for Contractors (30 minutes): We take care of your bookkeeping (up to 30 minutes per month). By law you are required to keep records about the company itself and financial and accounting records for 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to, or longer.
- Payroll for Contractors (1 director): Processing your payroll on a monthly basis. As an employer, you normally have to operate PAYE as part of your payroll. However, you do not need to register for PAYE (must keep payroll records) if none of your employees is paid £123 or more a week, get expenses and benefits, have another job or get a pension.

- Dividends for Contractors: Producing your dividend vouchers and creating board meeting minutes. If you have any retained profits in your limited company, these funds may be distributed as dividends to the company’s shareholders. Once the director(s) have decided to make an interim or final dividend payment, the declaration must be recorded in the company’s minutes and you must also provide each shareholder with a dividend voucher.
- Annual Accounts for Contractors: Preparation of your company's statutory accounts (annual accounts) according to FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland for the micro-entities. Sending a copy of your accounts to all shareholders, Companies House and HMRC.
