Our Approach

How we do things

Running a business is hard enough without the added stress of managing your finances. That’s where we come in. Our Small business accounting services focus on simple accounting that keeps your books in order and up to date every month. As your online accountant, we’ll set up smart systems, make sure you’re using the latest tech, and keep everything running smoothly, so you can focus on what you do best.

But we’re not just here to crunch numbers and disappear. Every month, we take the time to sit down with you (preferably over a good cup of coffee!) to go through your figures, spot opportunities, and make sure you’ve got the insights you need to make the best decisions for your business. No jargon, no surprises, just straightforward advice and a team that’s got your back.

How Alberti works with UK businesses: clear rhythms, thoughtful automation, and human support when it matters.

We work with founders who want clean books without the spreadsheet chaos: bookkeeping on cloud platforms, tight month-end processes, and clear reporting you can use in real conversations—with investors, banks, or your own team.

You get a predictable monthly rhythm, clear ownership of tasks, and direct access to people who can explain the numbers in plain language—whether you are planning with investors or answering questions from HMRC.

  3. Monthly cadence

    Reconciliations, VAT, payroll, and management packs run on a predictable schedule with proactive nudges.

Founders and finance leads on plain language, bilingual support, and finally getting month-end under control.

    Our last accountant went into liquidation in the middle of the night. No follow-up, no handover, no access. Alberti fixed it in weeks.

  • Pablo Casado

    Alicia has been approachable, direct and very efficient. She has always been at the other side of an email or phone call giving us valuable advice and reassurance. I do recommend Alberti Accounting—as all I do is follow the simple steps and guidance and she does the rest! My peace of mind is priceless and Alicia has handled my business finances for the last 3 years without a bump.

Common questions

How we work with you

How do we get started?

We begin with a discovery call to understand how you trade, which tools you use, and what good reporting looks like for you. Then we agree scope, timelines, and access, and onboard you in a structured way so nothing falls through the cracks.

Do you only work with certain accounting software?

We are cloud-first and work with the platforms most UK startups and SMEs use—Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, and the payroll and automation tools around them. If you are already set up, we fit into your stack; if you are choosing, we help you pick sensibly.

Can you support our team in Spanish?

Yes. Several of our clients need bilingual support for schedules, filings, or internal finance conversations. We keep filings and records aligned with UK requirements while communicating in the language that works for your team.

What does a typical month look like?

Reconciliations, VAT or payroll cycles (where relevant), management packs, and proactive nudges before deadlines—on a calendar you can rely on, not a last-minute scramble.
