Why members join

Support that meets the reality of running a practice.

Structure that cuts the overwhelm

Clear priorities and repeatable systems, so Monday doesn't start from zero every single week.

Growth support that isn't fluff

Training, mentoring and accountability aimed at profit — not at making you feel busier.

Systems that buy back your evenings

Templates and workflows that handle the admin, so it stops eating the hours you don't have.

Why this exists

Built by someone who's done the 60-hour week.

Kris started his own bookkeeping practice in 2009 with no real playbook and no safety net. It worked, technically — the invoices went out, the clients stuck around. The hours didn't add up to a life, though.

Fixing that meant sacking the clients who weren't worth it, rebuilding the pricing from scratch, and running the practice on systems instead of adrenaline.

Bookkeepers Alliance is that rebuild, packaged up for the next bookkeeper working evenings they shouldn't have to.

You're not doing this solo

150+ bookkeepers who get exactly what you're dealing with.

The private group is where most of the real problem-solving happens — pricing questions, HMRC headaches, "is this client worth keeping" at 11pm. Blunt, supportive, and the reason members stick around.

Still got questions

Straight answers, no sales spin.

I'm not sure I can justify the cost.+

Foundation is £9 a month — less than the coffee that's fuelling this decision. It pays for itself the first time it stops you underpricing a job.

I haven't started my practice yet.+

Good. It's cheaper to build it right from day one than to fix it two years in, after underpricing and overworking yourself.

I'm already a member of a professional body.+

Keep it — that covers your technical standards. We cover what nobody teaches: pricing, systems and actually running the business.

What if it's not for me?+

Cancel from your account whenever you like. No minimum term, no awkward call, no hoops.

I don't really understand what you do.+

Practical support for running a bookkeeping practice — pricing, KPIs, templates, training and a community who've been through it. Not another CPD box to tick.

Stop guessing. Start running a practice with a plan.

Join for £9 a month and get the templates, the pricing tool and the community from day one.
