About Us - Your Local Bookkeeper in Helston
Emma’s Bookkeeping Hub was created to support sole traders and small businesses who want clarity, confidence, and control over their finances. As a trusted bookkeeper in Helston, I help business owners understand their numbers, stay compliant, and feel confident about the financial side of their business.
Founded in August 2025, Emma’s Bookkeeping Hub is built on the belief that bookkeeping should not feel confusing or intimidating. My approach focuses on accuracy, transparency, and working alongside clients so they always understand what is happening behind the scenes and how it affects their business.
The Story Behind Emma’s Bookkeeping Hub
After several years working in accounting roles across industries including agriculture, manufacturing, and mining, it became clear that many self employed people struggle with their finances not because they lack commitment, but because they lack clear explanations.
Emma’s Bookkeeping Hub was established to provide bookkeeping that goes beyond ticking boxes for compliance. The goal has always been to help clients understand cash flow, see how money moves through their business, and feel confident making decisions based on accurate information.
Being based in Helston places me at the heart of a network of towns and creative villages, allowing me to support local businesses with a personal and approachable service.
My Mission and Values
My mission is to help sole traders keep accurate records, understand their finances, and stay in control of their business.
This is guided by a few core principles:
-
Clarity, explaining figures in plain English
-
Collaboration, working with clients rather than disappearing behind reports
-
Transparency, being clear about what I do and why
-
Trust, building long-term relationships through consistency and honesty
These values shape how I deliver bookkeeping services, with a focus on understanding rather than overwhelm.
How I Work With Sole Traders in Helston
I work with clients, not just for them. Rather than simply preparing records and moving on, I take the time to explain what the figures mean and how they affect the business both now and in the future.
Support can include regular sole trader bookkeeping, clear reporting, and guidance around future cash flow. I also offer evening availability, so clients do not need to take time out of their working day to manage their finances or ask questions.
Who I Support Across Cornwall
I specialise in supporting sole traders and small service-based businesses across Helston and the surrounding areas, including Mullion, Porthleven, Falmouth, Hayle, Marazion, Camborne, and Redruth.
Many of my clients are hairdressers, beauty professionals, creatives, freelancers, and service providers who work during the day and struggle to find time for their accounts. My services are designed to fit around real working lives, offering reliable bookkeeping without unnecessary complexity.
Qualifications and Professional Experience
I am AAT Level 2, 3, and 4 qualified and fully licensed. I completed my Level 4 qualification in 2022 and became fully licensed in August 2025. I also hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business, which supports my understanding of how finances impact real-world business decisions.
With over six years of experience in accounting roles, I bring practical knowledge as well as technical accuracy to every client relationship. Clients are welcome to verify my credentials directly through the AAT for reassurance and peace of mind.
Clear Service Boundaries and Honest Support
I believe trust is built through clarity. I provide self-assessments, along with bookkeeping, VAT support, and digital accounting system setup. I do not offer payroll services or complex tax advisory, and I am always clear about where my role begins and ends.
