My Story
I'm Qais Yasir — an ACCA-trained accountant with over 15 years of experience across audit, management accounting, and financial systems. My singular focus: helping UK sole traders, limited companies, and e-commerce businesses get their finances right.
My journey began over 15 years ago when I completed my ACCA articles at Qavi & Co. Chartered Accountants in Pakistan, working on audits for major organisations including Rupali Polyester, Hamdard Laboratories, and IVCC Engineering. That foundation taught me the importance of rigorous internal controls, accurate reporting, and unwavering integrity.
Since 2016, I've run my own practice — Qais & Co. Tax Accountants and Advocates — serving SMEs and corporate clients across taxation, accounting, and ERP implementation. I've designed and deployed custom ERP solutions, integrated accounting software for multi-entity operations, and mentored teams of accountants.
In 2024, I made a strategic pivot. I saw the growing demand for skilled, certified remote bookkeepers in the UK market — and I knew my combination of UK qualifications (ACCA, UK Taxation certification), cloud software expertise (Xero, QuickBooks), and enterprise ERP background (SAP FICO) made me uniquely positioned to serve UK businesses remotely at a fraction of London costs, without compromising on quality.
Today, I serve UK-based sole traders, limited companies, contractors, e-commerce businesses, and property landlords — delivering MTD-compliant bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, management accounts, and strategic financial advice.

My Approach
Integrity First: Every number I record, every report I produce, and every piece of advice I give is grounded in honesty and accuracy. Your financial data is sacred, and I treat it that way.
Cloud-Native: I believe in modern, efficient workflows. No paper, no manual data entry where automation can help. I use the best cloud tools to give you real-time visibility into your business.
Proactive Communication: I don't wait for you to ask. I flag issues early, suggest improvements, and keep you informed. My clients hear from me before they need to reach out.
Continuous Learning: Tax rules change. Software updates. I stay current with UK tax legislation, MTD developments, and software certifications so you don't have to.
Outside of Work
When I'm not balancing books, you'll find me on the tennis court, exploring new cuisines, or riding my bike through the Punjab countryside. I believe a balanced life makes for better professional judgment — and I bring that same balance to how I manage my clients' financial affairs.
