The product of a leap of faith taken by Lucy Nichols, a professional bookkeeper with years of experience in the field, LMN Bookkeeping Plus was founded in 2021 as a way for Lucy to help businesses stay on top of their finances with as little hassle as possible. While specialising in bookkeeping for the construction industry, Lucy also works with a host of clients across a wide range of sectors, affording all her reliable and tailored bookkeeping services. On the back of its dual recognition in this programme, we caught up with Lucy for more on this bookkeeping venture. LMN Bookkeeping Plus Ltd Best Bookkeeping & CIS Support Firm 2025 - Oxfordshire | Tailored Client Service Excellence Award 2025 Delivering personalised bookkeeping and accounting services for trades from its home in Oxford, LMN Bookkeeping Plus has made it its mission to help SMEs to control their finances with the confidence, accuracy, and clarity they seek. The knowledge Lucy has regarding the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) means that the peerless bookkeeping and accounting services her firm offers attract a variety of businesses from across this space, and she can help them to take the stress out of compliance. LMN Bookkeeping Plus provides full bookkeeping services ranging from payroll management and annual accounts to tax returns, corporation accounts, selfassessments, and more. Accuracy and professionalism define every one of these services, and Lucy prides herself on operating with total confidentiality to the outside world and complete transparency for her clients, resulting in her firm striking up partnerships with SMEs as it supports them in the best way it can - without all of the usual finance jargon. Working primarily within the CIS, LMN Bookkeeping Plus knows the importance of striking a balance between being easy to talk to and yet constantly on the ball when it comes to understanding the business goals of its clients. This takes the form of personalised services delivered in packages that can be tailored to the workload of a client, underpinning the meticulous blend of professional attention and a supportive approach that results in outstanding bookkeeping being provided at every turn. Supporting Lucy as she delivers exemplary CIS bookkeeping for builders is a wellcrafted team comprising some of the finest industry staff Oxfordshire has to offer. Lucy explained: “They are not just employees; they are a crucial part in delivering exceptional services to our clients. As a small business, their professionalism and dedication ensure that every client receives excellent, consistent, and timely bookkeeping support.” Alignment across the firm has resulted in an honest, supportive culture being nurtured. “All of this leads to a high standard of work, better client outcomes, and staff who feel empowered and confident.” With CIS bookkeeping being just one of the areas of the industry that is subject to constant changes across tax legislation and compliance - examples include making tax digital and HMRC regulation/VAT rules continuing to evolve - many people are struggling to understand their financial data, hindering dayto-day decision-making. LMN Bookkeeping Plus strives to continuously improve knowledge and understanding, sharing this with its clients in a way they can understand. Insights such as these can even be found in a book that Lucy was proud to be a part of, ‘The Bookkeeper Rises’, which brings together the stories of 35 bookkeepers who have built their own businesses, sharing their experiences to see that others working in this industry do not fall into the common pitfalls that have plagued them over the course of their careers. More on this book can be found here. Having helped solidify her status as the premier bookkeeper in Oxford thanks to her featuring in this book, Lucy is excited to welcome more clients to LMN Bookkeeping Plus in 2026, as well as channelling an expansion of the business, opening a bigger office, and welcoming more staff and clients. This will take place against the backdrop of competitive prices and flexible monthly packages the firm has built its reputation atop of, all of which underpin a service designed to help clients focusing on business growth. Recognised as both Best Bookkeeping & CIS Support Firm 2025 - Oxfordshire, and recipient of the Tailored Client Service Excellence Award 2025, LMN Bookkeeping Plus is an example of what happens when partnerships are forged and efficient services are provided, tailored to the needs of its clientele.
