I recently set up a limited company and LSC have been fantastic. They’ve always made time to answer my questions, no matter how silly they are. They have been extremely patient and always quick to respond to any queries I have. They have helped me understand my finances and tax implications. Would highly recommend to others, especially start ups like myself.

Can't recommend Lorraine at LSC enough, went into the shop knowing nothing about tax returns being so sceptical about starting my own business but with her knowledge and support, it's now something I'm capable of doing knowing I have a great accountant to go to.
Highly recommend, she was professional and very knowledgeable.
Massive thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Accountant’s around. After numerous attempts of trying to find an accountant Lorraine and her team picked up the slack, helped me along the way and proved why they’re the best in the business.

Lorraine's advice is invaluable. As a new business I didn't have a clue where to start.
Straight forward and sound advice and support put me on the right track, and reduced my worries.
I 100% recommend LSC Accounting.

To Whom It May Concern
Testimonial for LSC Accounting Limited

LSC Accounting Limited is an outstanding accountancy firm.

I know how to drive a calculator and park an invoice, but I was lost when it turned out my first accountant did not know how to read a map (gave wrong advice but that did not go with the analogy).

LSC Accounting helped sort out multiple payment issues, tax miscalculations and an incorrect furlough application moments before the deadline. Lorraine made time for me when I didn’t know what to do and gave professional advice in a timely manner.

Being inexperienced/newly self-employed, Lorraine took the time to help me through my first self-assessment and my first company accountants’ submission, and I feel like I am back in the driving seat.

Since then, the LSC team (Sean) has helped me with my first members of staff setting up PAYE and pensions.

I would have no hesitation recommending Lorraine of LSC Accounting Limited to anyone for any accounting needs.

Thank you, Lorraine
Yours Sincerely

FAQ

Straight answers about bookkeeping with LSC

Clear, quick answers to the questions we hear most from North East businesses. If you do not see your question here, get in touch.

A bookkeeper keeps day-to-day records tidy: posting sales and purchases, reconciling the bank, checking VAT and keeping ledgers accurate. An accountant uses those records to produce year-end accounts and tax returns. At LSC we do both, so there are no gaps.

It depends on transaction volume and complexity. We price by the month with a fixed fee agreed in advance, so there are no surprise bills. Tell us roughly how many invoices and bank lines you have and we will quote quickly.

Yes, software helps but it does not replace checks, VAT treatment, reconciliations or month-end pack preparation. We set up your software, keep the data accurate and give you clear reports you can use.

Yes. We specialise in catch-up bookkeeping. We reconcile the bank, tidy ledgers, correct VAT and produce a clean opening position so you can move forward with confidence.

Weekly is ideal for growing businesses. At a minimum, aim for month-end so VAT, cashflow and debts are up to date. We agree a schedule that fits how you work.

Keep sales and purchase invoices, bank statements, receipts and payroll records. In the UK most records must be kept for at least 6 years. We set up secure digital capture so storing and finding documents is simple.
