About Us
Licensed by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) and led by a CIMA-qualified Accountant, Liza Sitch ACMA CGMA MICB, Maeflower Bookkeeping is dedicated to supporting businesses and individuals with their bookkeeping and tax obligations.
Based in Gosport, Hampshire and fully able to serve clients in the local areas, of Fareham, Stubbington and Lee-on-the-Solent. We are also able to serve clients anywhere in the UK, as we are a fully remote practice making use of cloud-based software, including Xero.
In fact, we have Xero Certified Advisor and Xero Tax Specialist status — which means if you're not currently using Xero, we can guide you through the process of setting up or switching to this intuitive, cloud-based accounting software.
But don’t worry if you are already using another system to manage your accounts, whether that be other cloud-based software, or even spreadsheets, if it’s working for you and your business, then we can work around you.
As a fully inclusive, neurodiverse-friendly practice, we understand that everyone has unique needs when it comes to managing finances and our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. Whether it’s clear, step-by-step guidance, visual aids, or a slower pace, we tailor our approach to best suit your individual needs.
Here at Maeflower Bookkeeping, we also value sustainability and equality, and particularly welcome working with individuals and businesses with similar values.
So, if you’re looking for Self-Assessment or bookkeeping services in Gosport and the surrounding areas, or if you’re further afield and want expert remote services, get in touch today!
(And, just in case you were wondering, no "Maeflower" isn’t a typo. Whilst hinting at the rich history here on the Solent Coast, as it echoes the prestigious Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, as well as the ship of the same name that stopped briefly at the port before embarking on its historic journey across the Atlantic Ocean, our particular spelling of, “Mae”, holds a personal connection).
What our clients say about us
“It has been a real pleasure working with Liza. She has taken the pain out of doing our accounts.
Liza made the process really easy and clear to follow and is a lovely approachable person to work with – could not recommend her enough.”
— Occupational Therapy - CIC“I cannot recommend Liza highly enough! She has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. From the very start, she was incredibly approachable and friendly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier. One thing I really appreciated was how she took the time to explain everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. As someone who isn’t particularly confident with financial matters, this made such a difference. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.
She handled all my books for me with complete professionalism, taking the pressure off my shoulders and allowing me to focus on my work.”
— Massage Therapist - Sole Trader“Thank you for your support and knowledge…
Your service has been invaluable whilst I worked on everything else.”

Hello, I’m Liza Sitch, founder of Maeflower Bookkeeping Ltd which I established in 2024 with a mission to deliver bookkeeping that’s supportive, clear and genuinely helpful, not intimidating.
I qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant over 20 years ago, and since then I worked across a wide range of sectors and organisations. My career took me on a few different turns along the way, and I’ve come to understand that this is likely connected to discovering later in life that I am neurodivergent, and that insight has helped me better understand myself and validated my empathy and strong sense of social justice.
I bring that same understanding into my work. I know that running a small business can be overwhelming at times, and finances are often one of the biggest sources of stress. At Maeflower Bookkeeping, we are supportive, non-judgemental and always try to be kind. If your accounts feel ‘messy’ or you’ve gotten behind on things, please don’t worry because you are not alone, and you won’t be criticised by us. We’ll simply help you get back on track, step by step.
I’m passionate about using my accounting skills for good, supporting small businesses to achieve their aims while also promoting equality, diversity, inclusivity and sustainability, which I truly believe helps create stronger, fairer and more resilient businesses.
