We work with your accounting software
We’re official partners of FreeAgent, Quickbooks and Xero. They’ve
given us the official thumbs-up, and we can offer you a discount on
their software.
Whatever you choose, it’s never been easier to keep on top of your own bookkeeping.
We’re happy to show you the ropes and answer any bookkeeping questions you have. If you would prefer us to handle it for you, just ask.
I've been working with Martin over the last few months after setting up my first limited company and I'm so happy with his services. He's always on hand to answer any questions and it's great knowing that all my accounts and tax payments are in check - I don't have to worry about missing deadlines or wondering if I'm filling things out correctly anymore. It's definitely given me peace of mind (which is worth paying for in itself) and has taken a chunk of admin off my to-do list. I would definitely recommend him to freelancers and business owners!
Martin is always honest and 'on it', I'm never waiting for something to get done.
