Star Joy Gonzales
Xero bookkeeping delivery · Based in the Philippines
Star works on bank reconciliations, transaction matching and records organisation. She already supports Antony’s own bookkeeping, including monthly reconciliations and identifying items that need his attention.
Her published professional background includes management-accounting studies at the University of the Cordilleras and bookkeeping work with international businesses. Her experience covers Xero clean-ups, monthly bookkeeping, accounts payable and accounts receivable.
For your engagement, Antony agrees the scope, coordinates delivery and remains your contact. Star works within her assigned routine bookkeeping tasks; specialist accounting or tax decisions follow the agreed accountant review route. Any overseas records access is explained and agreed with you before work begins.

Typically £195–£295 per month
Explore monthly bookkeepingClear the backlog
Start with a review of the months outstanding, bank accounts and supporting records. The catch-up work is quoted separately, with agreed boundaries before work begins.
Keep the books current
Monthly bookkeeping brings transactions, receipts and reconciliations into a regular routine. Your accountant remains responsible for any separately agreed tax or year-end work.
Know what needs your attention
A handover identifies missing information, unresolved items and the next actions. Bookkeeping should give you a clearer view of your records, not another task list you cannot understand.
One accountable contact
Antony Draper owns the enquiry, scope, review and communication. Any agreed delivery support uses named access and remains within the written scope.
What can we take off your list?
Agreed routine work can include organising receipts and invoices, matching transactions, reconciling bank and card accounts and listing items that need your answer. Start with a Xero health check if you do not know where the problem begins.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
The typical monthly range is £195–£295. The quote depends on transaction volume, accounts and the work included. Catch-up work is separate. BIE Ltd is not VAT registered, so VAT is not currently added.
Looking for a bookkeeper in Cheltenham?
Start with the condition of your records. If the periods needing work are known, ask about catch-up bookkeeping. If balances are unclear or earlier entries need investigation, discuss a Xero health check first. For current records, monthly bookkeeping provides an agreed routine for transactions, receipts and reconciliations.
Xero bookkeeping with a clear next step
Tell Antony whether you use Xero, the last completed month, the number of bank and card accounts and any approaching deadline. You receive an agreed scope before records access or work begins. Existing accountant responsibilities, exceptions and any overseas delivery access are made clear in advance.
September reconciliation, with a clear list of open questions
Star already supports Antony’s own bookkeeping. In her September 2026 handover, she confirmed that she had reviewed and reconciled the month’s bank transactions and separately flagged pending items needing Antony’s attention.
The work reported
A review and reconciliation of September bank transactions, followed by a handover identifying items still requiring the business owner’s input.
The owner’s next step
Antony acknowledged the completed reconciliation and outstanding items, and confirmed that he would review the questions and supply answers.
What this demonstrates
A useful handover distinguishes the work completed from the questions still open. The owner can see where their input is needed to move the records forward.
This example describes work on Antony’s own books, not an independent customer testimonial. It is supported by the handover of 6 October and acknowledgement of 7 October 2026. It does not claim that all pending items were subsequently resolved.
