Common questions

What bookkeeping work does North Mile Books actually take on?

The team manages monthly reconciliation, chart of accounts, late invoice follow-up, mileage and expense records, payroll basics, and a clean year-end handover to your accountant.

How does the monthly process work once I hire you?

You send source records each month. Staff reconcile accounts, log expenses, chase overdue invoices, and return plain reports. At year end they package the files for your accountant.

How do I learn fees and book a start date?

Write through the site form or listed email. They confirm scope, state fixed fees for your books, and set the first month. Work begins only after you agree in writing.

Who sees my figures and how is the work kept reliable?

A small named team handles your ledger under strict confidentiality. Entries follow standard practice; access stays limited; every month closes with a clear trail you can review.

How do I reach North Mile Books directly?

Use the contact form on this page or the email in the footer. A team member replies within two business days to arrange a short call and next steps.
