Bookkeeping Services for Trades Businesses – Know Your Numbers, Build with Confidence

Running a trades business means more than getting the job done on site. Behind every successful trades business is a clear understanding of the numbers — income, expenses, cash flow, and profitability.

Hi, I’m Aloha, and I look after your bookkeeping at BlueWood Office.
I support tradespeople with the day-to-day numbers, keeping the books clean, cash flow steady, and invoicing running smoothly.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your finances, chasing payments, or just trying to make sense of it all, send us a few details about your current setup. We’ll review everything and come back with a practical bookkeeping plan to tidy up the books and help you truly Know Your Numbers.

Why Trust BlueWood Office with Your Bookkeeping?

Many tradespeople start out managing their own books — until the receipts pile up, VAT deadlines creep closer, and cash flow becomes hard to predict.

I’ve helped trades businesses get control of their finances — even when things are messy to begin with. From receipts and reconciliations to VAT and cash flow reporting, we bring clarity, structure, and confidence to your business finances.

As part of the BlueWood Office Team, your bookkeeping doesn’t sit in isolation. It works in sync with your ICT, Admin, and Marketing, so your whole business runs better — not just the numbers.

A professional trades business needs a team behind it.

You just need a clear view of where you stand.

Our bookkeeping support gives you:
✅ Simple systems like Zoho Books or FreeAgent, integrated with your CRM
✅ Accurate invoicing, reconciliations, expense tracking, and reporting
✅ Honest insight and calm support from someone who understands trades
