Kind words from clients.

  • Jess took over our accounting function at both a crucial transition time and also for me during a health crisis, so had a “baptism of fire”! We had also introduced a new business that required payroll implementation and running for a contract period, and we were in the process of implementing Xero. Jess was a godsend and seamlessly got both jobs done, and has managed both functions particularly well, with any issues sorted proactively and immediately. She has the ability to do the basics well, and also complete and submit full accounts, as well as give great advice. Highly recommended.
