This page summarises what BestwickRussell says it does, taken from its own website on 5 September 2026. It is a reference entry, not a review: we have not worked with them and we do not rank the firms in this directory.
What they cover
Firms describe the same work in different words, so the table below maps BestwickRussell's published services onto the jobs a Jersey business actually shops for.

What is not on the list
Nothing on BestwickRussell's published list mentions payroll and ITIS, GST returns, statutory audit and software and training. If one of those is your main reason for hiring someone, that is the question to open with rather than an assumption to make.
A note on the length of that list
BestwickRussell publishes 8 separate service lines. Breadth on a website is a claim about the firm, not about the person who would be assigned to you, and the two come apart most often at the small end of a large firm's client book. Worth asking who specifically would handle the work and what else sits on their desk.

Qualifications
The firm states: ICAEW. Professional body membership is worth confirming directly — it governs what work a firm can sign off, and statutory audit in particular requires specific recognition.
Who they tend to suit
Sole traders, trading businesses, start-ups and asset-holding companies wanting hands-on accounting and tax support.

Where we fit
Being straight about it: Bookkeeper.je is one of the firms on this island, so we are a competitor of BestwickRussell, not a neutral referee. We do monthly bookkeeping, payroll, GST returns and management accounts for Jersey businesses on a fixed monthly fee. We are not auditors and not a chartered firm — if that is what you need, BestwickRussell or another firm here will serve you better and we will say so.
