books by nine is an outsourced bookkeeping service for UK accountancy practices. Hand your clients’ bookkeeping over in the evening and it comes back coded, reconciled and ready before nine the next morning.
Your clients' documents arrive the way they already do: Dext, Hubdoc, or a shared inbox. Nothing about your clients' routine changes.
Every line is coded to your chart of accounts, following your practice's own precedents rather than a generic rulebook. Anything genuinely ambiguous is flagged as one clear question, not ten.
By the next morning the books are current: transactions coded, bank reconciled, exceptions listed. Your team starts the day reviewing, not typing.
Day-to-day transaction coding, bills and receipts processed, bank reconciliation kept current. The recurring work that eats your practice's week, handled overnight.
New clients set up on Xero properly from day one, or moved over from spreadsheets and other software. Chart of accounts, opening balances, bank feeds, the lot.

books by nine is run by Alex Greig, a UK business owner who has kept his own companies’ books for years and is currently studying for his professional bookkeeping qualifications ahead of launch. Your practice signs off; we do the legwork.
