Our Story

Hour Hands is a team of bookkeepers, personal assistants and experienced administrators primed to take care of your To Do list.

Working with consultants, SMEs, and high-net-worth individuals, we deal in the most precious of commodities: time. By reconciling receipts, booking kids’ parties, cleaning email data, changing utility suppliers, researching new markets, finding the missing 50p on a million-pound balance sheet, and producing spreadsheets, presentations, and reports, we give back not only time, but also peace of mind.
