Experiences of note

  • A client was doing all elements of bookkeeping manually – including paper timesheets – which is much slower than using modern accounting software. By transitioning the client to Xero, their payroll (and other processes) become much faster. The client was ecstatic with the cost savings the business achieved as a result of this change.
  • A client was left in the dark because they were not able to easily access the right reports via their accounting software, making business decisions less accurate. Shaun recommended a more user-friendly software and helped the client migrate everything over. Now the client can easily access the right information so that she has the data she needs whenever she needs it.
