About us

Over the last few years, more and more of our clients have moved to cloud accounting. We offer a flexible service to help clients move to Xero whether they are an existing business, charity or new enterprise. We can set Xero up for you and teach you how to use it. We can check your Xero bookkeeping quarterly and submit your VAT returns, or you can outsource your bookkeeping function to our bookkeeping partner. Our experienced staff can help with ad-hoc questions to support you or your finance team.

The move to online accounting in recent years has been fantastic. Our clients, some with a finance background but many without, find Xero easy to use and keep up to date themselves. Xero allows us to talk to our clients about their current financial picture and advise them with up to date information to hand.

Please note, Xero doesn't guarantee the service of any one advisor

We don’t review advisor listings and we don’t recommend or guarantee the service provided by any one advisor, so make sure you check them out yourself and get comfortable with them yourself.

Xero certification means that some or all team members have completed courses and been assessed by Xero as proficient in the use of the Xero application.

Xero specialisation means that some or all team members have completed several short learning modules to develop skills in that area.

Xero doesn’t assess any individual advisor’s or firm’s proficiency as an accountant, bookkeeper or financial advisor. And Xero certified advisors and advisors with industry or bank specialisations are not employees of Xero.
