A personal bookkeeping practice built on trust
Since 2010, CEM Bookkeeping & Accounting has looked after businesses across Essex and the UK — carefully, accurately and always personally.
Meet Karen
The bookkeeper other bookkeepers recommend
Karen founded CEM Bookkeeping & Accounting to offer businesses something the big firms don't: a personal, direct relationship with the person who actually does the work.
Based in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, she looks after a carefully curated portfolio of clients — from sole traders and landlords to established construction and service businesses across the UK.
What clients (and referring accountants) come back to is the same thing: accuracy, reliability and a straightforward approach that makes the numbers make sense.
- Personal service — you always speak to a member of our team
- Accuracy that stands up to HMRC scrutiny
- Deadlines that are never missed
- Fixed, predictable pricing with no surprises
- Long-term relationships built on trust

Testimonials
Trusted by businesses that don't tolerate mistakes
“My company has been using CEM Bookkeeping for all my clients' payrolls and CIS requirements. Some of these are very complex, impacting CCJ orders, pensions, BIK etc. I have total confidence in Karen's ability to process information with great accuracy and care. Going forward it is my intention to pass all new clients to CEM. What you get is excellent customer service at a cost-effective price.”
