Bookkeeping & Tax Support for Tradespeople

Helping busy trades stay organised, compliant, and confident about their numbers

At Barleyfields, we support sole traders and small businesses in the trades including builders, electricians, plumbers, joiners, decorators, and property maintenance professionals with clear, dependable bookkeeping and tax services.

​

We understand the trades, not just because we work with clients in the industry every day, but because we’re part of that world too. We’ve run a chimney sweeping business ourselves, my husband still does, and our daughter works in construction as a site manager. Even our son is training to become an electrician. So we know the early starts, the long days, the handwritten invoices and how paperwork often comes last.

​​

Whether you’re just getting started or need help catching up, we’ll help you get everything sorted and keep it that way.

Services We Offer

  • Bookkeeping - monthly or quarterly, keeping your records up to date and HMRC-ready

  • VAT returns - fully compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD)

  • Self Assessment tax returns - including help with Payments on Account

  • Income and expense tracking - so you always know where you stand

  • MTD for Income Tax (MTD ITSA) - support to get you ready for the upcoming changes

  • Software setup and support - Xero, QuickBooks, or simple spreadsheets

  • Catch-up bookkeeping - if you’ve fallen behind and need to get back on track

Why Work With Us?

 

  • We speak your language - no waffle or unnecessary jargon

  • We work around your schedule - early, late, remote - whatever fits

  • We understand the job - from running your own trade to dealing with suppliers and jobs that overrun

  • We explain what’s due, when it’s due, and what it means - in plain English

Don’t Let Tax Be a Headache

HMRC deadlines and digital rules don’t need to be stressful. Whether you're flat out on jobs or catching your breath in the quieter months, we’ll keep your books clean and compliant behind the scenes.

​

We know the trade because we’ve lived it. Let’s have a no-pressure chat about how we can help get the tax side sorted.
