About the practice
An award-winning practice built on experience and care
YVB Accountancy, previously YVB Bookkeeping Services, was founded in Leeds in 2012 by Yvonne, an ICB-qualified bookkeeper with a career spanning private companies, public sector organisations and charities. What began as a bookkeeping practice has grown into a broader accountancy service, shaped by what clients kept asking for: one trusted place for the books, the payroll, the returns and the reporting.
The practice is deliberately streamlined: experienced people, modern systems and no layers between you and the person who knows your accounts. Clients notice the difference, and they stay.

Where to start
What do you need help with?
Most clients come to us with one job that needs taking off their desk. Start there; the rest can follow when it makes sense.
- My books are behind and I need them kept up to date
- I need payroll run properly, without the admin
- VAT returns are taking too much of my time
- I want to understand how my business is performing
- Year-end is coming and the records are not ready
- I need my Self Assessment tax return sorted
- I want to move to Xero or change accounting systems
- I want to hand over the whole finance function
- I need to verify my identity with Companies House
- I am not happy with my current accountant
Why YVB
Chosen for the work, kept for the relationship
You deal with people who know your business
Clients are not passed around a team of strangers. The people who keep your records are the people who answer your questions.
Experience that goes beyond the software
More than 35 years across private companies, public bodies and charities, up to management roles in large organisations.
Practical help, not just processing
We flag what the numbers are telling us, help you improve how the finance side runs and liaise with your other advisers when it saves you money.
Based in Leeds, serving the whole UK
We work from our office at Oaktree House, supporting businesses anywhere in the UK through cloud platforms, and visit your site when sitting down together helps.
Fees agreed in advance
You will always know what the work costs before it starts, and anything extra is agreed with you first. No surprise bills, ever.
What we do
One practice for the whole finance function
From day-to-day bookkeeping through to year-end and the management information that shows where your business is heading. Take one service or hand over the lot.
Year-end accounts
Year-end close, adjustments and accounts preparation, with clear liaison wherever specialist tax or audit input is needed.
Payroll
Pay runs on time, payslips issued, HMRC submissions filed and pensions handled. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
VAT and CIS
Returns prepared and filed under Making Tax Digital, and the Construction Industry Scheme run end to end.
Management reporting
Monthly or quarterly reporting on how the business is actually performing, explained in plain terms.
Cloud accounting and migration
Set-up, training and support across platforms, and careful migrations from spreadsheets, Sage and even Oracle.
YVB accountancy are incredible. They always go above and beyond to make sure everything I need is done on time. They do it with such professionalism and it really takes the stress out of filing each year. I can rest knowing they are on the job. Would highly recommend!
