ABOUT US
MR Books is a well established Bookkeeping & Payroll Company located in Maldon, Essex. The company was founded in 2012 by Misha Rosenthall, who has been a bookkeeper since 2008. Misha recognised a long time ago that an increasing number of small business owners were intimidated by their annual visits to their accountants. Many of them sought a friendlier approach to help them make sense of their numbers, and so MR Books was created to be the bridge between business owners and their accountants.
Since 2012, MR Books has gone from strength to strength, and now counts a number of prominent Essex and London businesses as clients. The company is also a respected and trusted subcontractor for several Essex accountancy practices. Our client base is varied and spans the construction, hospitality, retail and IT industries.
We strive to provide an excellent and comprehensive all round bookkeeping and payroll service, and we are proud to not offer menu pricing. Your quote is bespoke, and will always be tailored to you and the services your company requires.
Misha specialises in new business start ups, along with VAT and Payroll Compliance; and believes that good communication is the key to good bookkeeping. We encourage clients to keep in regular contact, with no additional charges for phone calls or emails. We want our clients to feel they can contact us at any time, with no fear of hidden fees.
In 2019 Misha was awarded the Maldon District Council Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, and in 2019 she was invited to become a full Member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers.
We pride ourselves on doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. In MR Books you will always have a reliable, trustworthy and competent bookkeeper on your side.
MR Books is owned and operated by Misha Rosenthall MICB CB.Cert PM Dip.

FAQ
How often do you need a bookkeeper?
The real answer will depend a whole lot on what you use your bookkeeping for. At minimum, once a quarter, however ideally you should be doing your bookkeeping at least once a week.
Is a bookkeeper and accountant the same thing?
A bookkeeper will handle the administrative and transactional tasks in the day-to-day running of a business. Some of the activities will include recording receipts, sales, payments, and all financial transactions. An accountant providers deeper insights into the finances of the business based on the bookkeeping data that is available.
What can a bookkeeper do for my business?
Bookkeepers ensure that a business’ income, expenses and transactions are updated and recorded within the accounting books of a company. They can also help reconcile a company’s financials, and usually do so on a monthly basis. Some bookkeepers can also help with preparing financial reports and financial statements.
