If all this fills you with horror don’t worry, we can provide the hardware and software at our offices, to produce your essential management reports for you, on as regular basis as you require. We can even bring our computers to you. We can provide “in-house” training on most of the popular accounting software. Why send your staff away from the business on courses,when they can learn at their own speed in their own environment, and be available in “case of emergency”.Why is it, you always seem to lose important accounting personnel at the most critical time, either by natural wastage or holidays? We can step in at these critical times, and provide a link until either the vacancy is filled or the employee returns

Accounting Software

As an accredited Reseller we can advise on the choice of accounting software, which is right for your business. We can provide the software, and set up the accounting package to your specific requirements. We can also provide a “full in-house training programme” specifically tailored to meet the needs of your company and staff, and provide on-going support via the telephone, or if you prefer, on-site visits at regular intervals, to ensure you and your staff are properly at ease in the use of the software.

As and when upgrades are required, we can advise on the next step, and without any hassles, provide a seamless transition to the new software, as and when required. We have and continue to provide, Sage training to other accountants in the use of Sage Software. This has an added value to both accountant and client, in that the client need not produce the vast quantities of paper at the year end, which invariably means very little to the accountant, now the client merely hands over the computer data disk, ready for the accountant to access the exact information they require in order to finalise their client’s accounts. Thus saving time, paper and money.
