JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services Ltd has been awarded the Apex Of Achievement Award 2026 – Bookkeeper & VAT Expert (Cambridgeshire), recognising its commitment to accuracy, compliance, and exceptional client service.
The journey behind JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services Ltd began in the early 1980s, when founder Jane Ellington first studied a Secretarial Course at college. Although it was not a path she initially felt passionate about, a role as a Junior Accounts Assistant soon changed everything. Working with traditional ledger books and T-accounts, Jane developed a strong foundation in accounting and discovered her true direction.


As the industry evolved from manual systems to modern accounting software, Jane gained valuable experience across multiple companies, including an international placement. Being trusted to manage responsibilities independently gave her the confidence to take the next step in her career. Determined to strengthen her expertise, she completed a bookkeeping qualification alongside Sage and payroll training while balancing full-time work and home life.
In June 2006, she established JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services, building the business on reliability, integrity, and a strong client-focused approach. Today, the company supports businesses across Cambridgeshire with a full range of virtual financial services.
JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services offers day-to-day bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, VAT return preparation and submission, payroll support, and management reporting. By using cloud-based platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage, the company ensures clients benefit from accurate, timely, and compliant financial records.
“Clients aren’t ticket numbers, you know their businesses, their pressures, and you communicate clearly and regularly,” Jane explains. “Consistent, high-quality service is essential because businesses depend on accurate financial information to remain compliant and make informed decisions.”
The company’s approach is built on proactive support, identifying potential issues before they arise, maintaining strong internal controls, and ensuring clients are always prepared for key deadlines such as VAT submissions and year-end reporting. This has helped establish long-term relationships built on trust and reliability.
Winning the Apex Of Achievement Award 2026 represents a significant milestone. Jane reflects, “Winning an award is recognition that your consistency, integrity, and professionalism stand out. It boosts confidence, strengthens client loyalty, and helps set higher ambitions for the future.”
The award highlights JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services Ltd’s dedication to delivering accurate, compliant, and dependable financial support, reinforcing its position as one of Cambridgeshire’s most trusted bookkeeping and VAT specialists.
Based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, JTE Bookkeeping & Payroll Services Ltd provides virtual bookkeeping and payroll solutions for businesses of all sizes.
