Summary of Key Policies

Environmental Policy

I recognise the importance of reducing environmental impact in day‑to‑day business operations. My approach includes:

  • Minimising paper use through digital-first workflows
  • Responsible disposal and recycling of materials
  • Reducing unnecessary travel and emissions
  • Choosing suppliers and tools that support sustainability

This policy reflects my commitment to operating responsibly and contributing positively to the environment.

Equality & Equal Opportunities

I provide services in a way that is inclusive, respectful, and free from discrimination. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and ensure that:

  • Everyone is treated fairly and with dignity
  • No individual is disadvantaged based on protected characteristics
  • Communication and services are accessible and supportive

Equality is a core value of my business and guides how I work with every client.

As a professional bookkeeper, I comply fully with UK AML regulations. This includes:

  • Verifying client identity where required
  • Monitoring for suspicious activity
  • Maintaining accurate records
  • Reporting obligations in line with HMRC guidance

This policy helps protect both my clients and the wider financial system.

DBS Checked

For added reassurance, I hold a current Basic DBS Check. This demonstrates my commitment to trust, safety, and professionalism – particularly when working with vulnerable individuals, charities, or community organisations.
