Behind on your books?
Many clients arrive with months of unreconciled records. That's normal and entirely fixable — but catch-up work is quoted separately, because the scope varies too much to include in a fixed fee.
We assess first, then quote in writing. If the work runs longer than estimated, we'll tell you before continuing.
Quoted in writing before we start. Estimates are not exceeded without your say-so.
All prices exclude VAT. Software included on Sole Trader and MTD Ready; Business clients hold their own subscription.
Meet Natalie
I'm Natalie Price MICB, the founder of Talia Books. I'm an ICB Certified Bookkeeper and full member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, having completed both Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications with distinction.
I work with small businesses, sole traders, and landlords. I'm based in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and serve clients across Leicestershire — Coalville, Swadlincote, Loughborough — and because the work is cloud-based, I take clients anywhere in the UK.
Before founding Talia Books, I spent over 15 years in international client relations and executive support across Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. That career gave me something that matters in bookkeeping: precision, discretion, and a genuine commitment to getting things right for the people I work with.
Good bookkeeping should be simple, accurate, and stress-free. My job is to keep your records tidy, your returns filed on time, and your business MTD-ready.
I also speak Cantonese and Mandarin, and I'm happy to work with Cantonese or Mandarin-speaking clients.
We're new here, and we're saying so.
Talia Books launched in 2026. No invented testimonials — instead, a founding rate for the first five clients.
25% off for six months
Written into your engagement letter, reverting automatically. No small print, no rolling discount that quietly disappears.
A named, certified bookkeeper
Not a call centre. Natalie is an ICB Certified Bookkeeper (MICB) with a practice licence, supervised under the Money Laundering Regulations, and answers her own phone.
One honest ask
We ask every client for an honest Google review. Good or bad, it helps a new practice more than anything. The discount doesn't depend on it.
Frequently asked questions
I've heard about Making Tax Digital — does it apply to me?
If you're self-employed or a landlord with qualifying income over £50,000, it already applies as of April 2026. Over £30,000, it applies from April 2027. If you're unsure, a free consultation will confirm your position in minutes.
What software do you use?
Xero. MTD-compliant, reliable, and the platform we work in daily. Standardising on one platform keeps records accurate and fees predictable. Already on Xero? We'll connect. If not, we'll handle the migration.
Is software included in the price?
Yes, on our Sole Trader and MTD Ready packages. VAT-registered clients on the Business package hold their own subscription directly with the software provider, which keeps you in control of your own data and usually works out cheaper.
How does the free consultation work?
It's a relaxed 30-minute call where we discuss your business, your current bookkeeping setup, and what you need. No hard sell, just honest advice.
Can you work with my existing accountant?
Yes. We prepare year-end records and liaise directly with your accountant. We don't file tax returns or statutory accounts, so there's no overlap — just a cleaner handover.
Are you qualified and regulated?
Yes. Natalie is an ICB Certified Bookkeeper (MICB), qualified to Level 2 and Level 3 through the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers — the world's largest bookkeeping body. She holds an ICB practice licence, which brings supervision under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, carries professional indemnity insurance, and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
Do I have to commit to a long contract?
No. Monthly billing, 30 days' notice to cancel. No lock-in.
