“I have been with the paperwork team for a few years now and there absolutely brilliant always there to answer any questions I have and nothings too much trouble. Would highly recommend”
Angus Finnegan
ALC Digital Law Ltd
“The Paperwork Team provide an excellent service. Professional, proactive and a pleasure to deal with. As a technology focused law firm, it is essential to us to have a team on board with the specialist skills required to work with our practice management systems and Abby and Kirsten have quickly gained our trust.”
Julia Hodgkinson
J and R Hodgkinson Farming
“In our dotage, we decided to ask The Paperwork Team to help with our business accounts and, whilst it has been a learning curve for us and a challenge for them to teach us, they have been unfailingly patient and have gone out of their way to help introduce the Xero accounting system into our lives. We are not quite there yet but that is our fault, not theirs, and we thoroughly recommend them as a result of our experience.”
Gill Haynes
H G Heath and Sons Ltd
“Can’t recommend The Paperwork Team highly enough. We recently moved from a bespoke system to Xero. Kate and her team expertly and very patiently assisted and guided us through the whole process saving us from making many mistakes and avoiding a lot of stress! Thank you!”
Bryony Hamilton Kelly
Fleming Architects Ltd
“Fab service from the (female! 👠💪🏻) team – from the first contact with Kate, to then meeting her with Carol (accounts support), then Carol coming in and basically sorting everything out more or less in one fell swoop, the process was quick, easy, positive, and reassuring. They are professional but friendly, have lots of common sense, a can-do attitude and are super helpful. I thoroughly recommend them if you’re looking for a flexible bookeeping/accouning/Xero support for your small to medium business. 🙂”
Phil Gordon-Jones
Fir Farm Ltd
“Kate, Kirsten and The Paperwork Team have been an invaluable asset in the running of our business at Fir Farm Holdings. With such a broad spectrum of knowledge, capabilites and expertise, they are always happy to help and assist in all aspects of the business.
We couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you for all your help over the years.”
Hilary Collins
Grafton Nursery Ltd
“Lovely, friendly and very helpful team of people – very efficient and expert in all that they do. Highly recommend them.”
Aileron Digital Works Ltd
Aileron Digital Works Ltd
“We’ve dealt with The Paperwork Team for just over 2 years now, we’ve constantly found them to be friendly and helpful in all matters.
We wouldn’t have felt as confident in our growth over this time without the support we’ve received. Thanks to the whole team!”
Roderick Cooper
Retired
“The Paperwork team have been an absolute joy to work with. Kate, Paula, and Nichola have been so helpful and generous with their time in sorting out my Self assessment Tax affairs. They have kept me informed all along the way and made this a very painless experience and as a bonus even found me some money along the way. I would recommend them to anyone whos looking for this service.”
Helena Jones
Helena Jones Permanent Makeup
“My son and I have used The Paperwork Team for 12 months. We are both self-employed. All the staff are friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Our tax returns were done in a timely manner. No question is silly, and they take time to explain everything in detail. I would highly recommend it.”
Charlotte Ellis
Bonjour Ellis
“Kate, Paula, Felicity & Nicola have all made the whole process so calm and easy from day one. No question is ever a problem. The whole team is so easy to contact should any problems ever arise (they never have) but they plan and process everything so efficiently. The whole set up process was easily accessible and great to be able to have a full breakdown of packages they offer with clear pricing.Then learning different ways to make my business run smoothly has been a wonderful learning curve with their help. Thank you so much to the whole team. Would highly recommend”
Bonita & Claire
Future Edge Therapy Ltd
“Outstanding. Game-changing. Worth every penny.
We cannot recommend The Paperwork Team highly enough. They built a completely custom CRM to manage my hectic diary for therapy clients, and it has transformed the way we run our business.
All our client bookings are now automated, and our clients love the freedom to book or reschedule their own appointments. The team handles every single piece of correspondence, checks things daily, and ensures everything runs like clockwork.
Before this, I was spending over 3 hours every week manually managing appointments and sending out reminders. Now I’ve got that time back — and as any business owner knows, time is gold.
They’ve also taken over our VAT and bookkeeping for our other business, and honestly, they know more than our accountant does! They’re lightning-fast, incredibly knowledgeable, and nothing is ever too much trouble. If they don’t know something, they find out — fast.
What we especially love is the human touch. I can pick up the phone and speak to someone from the team. My emails are answered almost immediately. They’re reliable, responsive, and just so easy to work with.
We’ll be handing over even more admin tasks to them soon, because frankly — they’re more efficient than we are! And as a result, I’ve made fewer mistakes and avoided the burnout that comes from trying to juggle it all.
Thank you so much from both of us. You’ve made a real difference to our business — and our lives.”
Chloe Christine-Wallis
Final Finish Flooring Ltd
“We’ve recently started working with The Paperwork Team for both virtual assistant support and bookkeeping, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the very first meeting with Kate and Paula (client support manager), we felt confident we were in good hands. They took the time to truly understand what kind of support we needed and how best to tailor their services around our business.
Our dedicated VA, Sally, has been fantastic. She’s picked everything up incredibly quickly and uses her initiative brilliantly — answering questions and solving problems without needing to involve us unnecessarily. She’s even streamlined several of our internal processes to make life easier, which has been a huge help.
We’ve also transitioned our bookkeeping over to The Paperwork Team, and Andy has been reassuring and proactive right from the start. Nothing has ever felt like too much trouble, and the communication across the board has been clear, professional, and friendly.
We’re really grateful for the support we’ve received so far and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Paperwork Team to other small business owners.”
Benita Jupe

“I was nervous to reach out for support as in the past I have been made to feel incompetent but Kate and her team were so welcoming. They use a simple process to upload confidential documents and communication was quick and clear. If I had to set up any new systems, guidance was attached so I could do this independently whilst being reassured that if I needed any support they were there for me.
John Bloomfield
SinCarne Ltd
“Kate’s lead on moving our accounting to Xero has transformed our relationship with the Company finances. We are now able to keep up to date with where the Company stands financially with up to date lists of who owes us money and what bills are due. Realtime interaction with HMRC means PAYE codes are updated automatically and VAT returns which used to take at least a day to sort out and file are now done within minutes. Kate’s flexible oversight and support continues to be invaluable and I cannot thank her enough.”
Anthony McGrath
Goliath Tech Midlands Ltd
“A fantastic team of people who can help with virtually any admin related task, from book keeping to organising transporting pallets of helical piles from one end of the country to the other. Highly recommend.”
Sonia Hiley
Cotswold Angel
“Kate, thank you so much for your help and support during the last few (self-assessment) years! Your patience with my lateness went above and beyond. With best wishes. Sonia xx”
Michelle Hirst
Bakers Arms
“Thank you once again for suggesting Xero and all your help it’s so easy and you’ve made it easier for me with your excellent training.”
Julian Piercey
Monks Bridge
“Kate and her team have quietly and efficiently gone about the processing of our payroll, pensions, and year end details. She has allowed us to get on with the business in hand and has kept, most importantly, our overheads for this service and a remarkable pleasing level. Thank you, keep up the good work Kate.”
Rebecca Leonhardt
Galliard Consulting Ltd
“The paperwork team were fantastic when I needed admin support during my time running a small consultancy business. My challenge was that while I was contracted to work for a major client for several months on site I needed to ensure other business enquiries were acknowledged quickly. In addition, Kate supported me by producing training materials and as she had a great knowledge of my business she also took on a research product for one of my clients, attending meetings on my behalf. I would highly recommend Kate and her team.”
Stephen Forde
Target Construction Ltd
“From the start, I felt confident that Kate and her team could help sort out the nightmare that was my paperwork! Nothing is too much trouble for the Paperwork Team.”
Maurice Fermoy
Oxford Street Connections Ltd
“Kate was outstanding, I needed assistance to set up Xero. Kate was patient, knowledgeable and an excellent tutor. I highly recommend her for businesses in a similar position.”
Amy Keene
Sole Trader
“Well what can I say about Kate at Paperwork Team…..she is amazing!!!
I was all in a panic when I was recommended Kate to sort out my business accounts, I can now see why she was highly recommended.
Kate was kind, warm, welcoming, calm, organised, quick and thorough what more could you need!
I would highly recommend Paperwork Team to anyone without hesitation.”
Leigh Hopkins
LTH Electrical
“Kate at The Paperwork Team has been brilliant and has helped my company out by taking the stress out of PAYE and Pensions. I would definitely recommend The Paperwork Team to anyone.”
Elizabeth Porterfield
Brian Swain Ltd
“I used The Paperwork Team to learn how to use Xero. Although it is quite user friendly it is also very fiddly and Kate was an excellent tutor. She took me step by step, with great patience, explaining each step and repeating where required! She really knows her stuff and if something unusual came up that she had not encountered before she would just make a note, look into it after our session and come back with an answer. Very supportive and knowledgeable – highly recommended!”
