About bookkeepers in Malta
A bookkeeper records what your business earns and spends: sales invoices, supplier bills, receipts, bank and card transactions. They reconcile the bank, chase missing paperwork and keep the ledger ready for VAT returns and the year-end accounts. Your accountant builds on that work, and an auditor checks the final result. Bookkeeping is the routine part, done weekly or monthly.
You need one when the pile of receipts keeps growing, when you register for VAT, or when you only look at the numbers at deadline time. Shops, cafés, tradespeople and small companies can hand over the monthly routine and keep an accountant for the annual work.
Fees follow the volume: invoices and bank transactions each month, the number of bank accounts and cards, stock, foreign currency, and how tidy the paperwork is when it arrives. Records sent every week are quicker to process than a year's worth in a box. Ask which software they use, whether you can see the books online, and how to send documents.

Questions
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Malta?
Bookkeeping is usually priced on volume: the number of invoices, receipts and bank transactions each month, plus extras like stock, payroll or several currencies. A tidy monthly upload takes less time than a year of loose paper. Send each bookkeeper a typical month's figures, ask for a monthly fee, and check whether VAT work and the year-end pack are included.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper does the daily recording: entering invoices, matching bank lines and keeping the ledger current. An accountant takes those records and turns them into tax returns, financial statements and advice. Many small businesses use a bookkeeper every month and an accountant once a year. Ask each one where their job ends, so nothing falls between them.
Do I need a bookkeeper if I am self-employed?
Not if your income is simple and you keep good records yourself. A bookkeeper starts to pay for themselves when you register for VAT, handle many small sales, buy stock or keep missing deadlines. Even a few hours a month can stop the year-end scramble. Ask whether they offer a light package for sole traders.
Can a bookkeeper in Malta catch up on old records?
Yes, catch-up work is common before a VAT deadline or when you change accountant. The bookkeeper will need bank statements, sales records and as many receipts and invoices as you can find, and will ask about anything they cannot match. Ask for a separate quote for the catch-up and a monthly fee for keeping things current afterwards.
