About

An AAT Licensed Bookkeeper in Swansea

Figura Bookkeeping is a one-person practice. I look after the books of sole traders, landlords, trades and small limited companies around Swansea and the wider South Wales area.

Most owners I speak to don't need a full accounting firm on retainer. They need their records kept accurate and up to date by someone who answers the phone and doesn't make them feel daft for asking. That is the job here: bookkeeping, VAT returns prepared and submitted, and year-end accounts for eligible sole traders and partnerships, done properly, for a fee you agree up front.

Being AAT licensed matters more than it sounds. It means my work is held to a professional standard by a recognised body, not just to my own opinion of it.

How I work

What you can expect

Accuracy first

Records get checked and reconciled properly. When something looks off, I ask you about it rather than guessing and moving on.

Plain language

No jargon, and no assumption that you already know what a journal or an accrual is. I explain what your numbers mean in ordinary words.

Careful with your data

Secure access, only the permissions I actually need, and your financial information kept confidential. Nothing gets shared without your say-so.

Honest about scope

I am clear about what I can take on and what I cannot. When something falls outside my scope, such as limited company year-end accounts or tax advice, I say so plainly and refer you to an accountant.

Based in Swansea, South Wales. Happy to meet in person or work entirely online.
