Amelia Coutisson

Xero accountancy 

specialist & bookkeeper

I’m a virtual book-keeper specialising in Xero, but what does that mean exactly, and more importantly, how will I make your life easier? 

In a nutshell, I can take care of all the financial areas of your (work) life; from logging your expense receipts and reconciling your bank statements, to raising invoices and chasing debtors. I can manage all your outgoings, and create reports, which all goes to help improve your cashflow. Oh, and of course, Xero is compliant with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiative which came into force on April 1st 2019.

All in all, my services help improve your business’s productivity, which is a win/win situation for everyone.     

Additionally, I offer training in Xero to clients or their employees who wish to manage these areas themselves.   Contact me for more info. 

I am fortunate to work with amazing people who I respect enormously, and as such, the majority of my clients come to me from word of mouth recommendations.  

"Amelia has been super efficient and totally brilliant to work with. She was recommended to me because I run a coaching business and in my first year of trading was doing the day-to-day accountancy myself. It was a nightmare and generated far more admin than I could have imagined, especially as I was doing it the old fashioned way - with spreadsheets (and no training!) Since Amelia came along she has freed up several hours a week for me and I know that my accounts are in perfect order. She chases up invoices, ensures bills are paid on time, liaises with my accountant and generally gives me peace of mind. Xero is a great tool which Amelia has taught me and my assistant to use. I’m not an expert - but happily I don’t have to be - Amelia is! I know enough to be able to collaborate with her and it’s working extremely well. I can’t recommend her enough."  Vanessa Cuddeford, Speaker Coach

“Having assisted me for 7 years, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amelia. She is organised and trustworthy. An excellent (Virtual) Assistant."  Philip Treacy OBE, Hat Designer.

“I commissioned CoutissonVA to assist me with logistics for my annual event Silicon Beach in Bournemouth, Dorset (for the forth year) and thank the heavens I did.”  Matt Desmier, Wise Old Uncle.

“Amelia and her team are dedicated, efficient, friendly and wonderful to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough”  Denis O’Regan, Rock Photographer.

“Amelia was fantastic at helping a charity that I'm involved with manage our accounts through Xero. We were novices to this system so she set up codes for us, communicated with our accountant to make sure it was aligned to how they do things, and showed us how to use the system. For anyone who finds accounting a little daunting, I'd strongly recommend Amelia. She's got great technical expertise and makes it all very easy to follow." Simonne Gnessen, Social entrepreneur.

"I was in need of a very particular solution for one of our productions. Amelia quickly grasped what was needed and put the neccessary contacts in our laps to make the project come to life. Amelia exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend Amelia."   Richard Eidman, New Car Sales at Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria.

“Running a tiny creative business as I do, I found transitioning to Xero personally empowering, and Mia took all the fear out of getting to grips with it. She really humanises the process of practicing regular book keeping with the programme and depressurises the whole experience. I always come away from sessions with her feeling, dare I suggest it, almost excited about feeling more in control of my little business again. I love having a knowledgable mate just a message away to hold my hand occasionally.”
