Common questions
Which accounting service do I need?
It depends on your business. Many clients start with bookkeeping and payroll and add annual accounts and management reporting as they grow. Tell us about your business and we will recommend what makes sense.
Can you work with the software I already use?
Usually, yes. We can work with the main cloud accounting packages, recommend one that suits you, or work from your bank statements and receipts.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. We handle the handover, request the records we need and make sure nothing falls through the gaps.
