What our customers say about us

Jon and Trevor have always been a real pleasure to deal with. I particularly like the fact that they always have an eye on streamlining things and saving time, using new technology as it becomes available – as a small business owner I’m very aware of how time is money. I have always felt that it has been a very supportive relationship as they are particularly aware of the needs of small businesses. They value their customers and their positive, friendly attitude has won them much well-deserved loyalty. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

When I came across Approved Accounting I knew straight away that I’d found exactly what I wanted: a family-run ethos and down to earth, supportive service. Jon and his team have always been very friendly, approachable, and patient — which was ideal for someone like me who was new to business. They’re responsive to all my queries and I have no hesitation in recommending them to my clients and contacts.

For years we had been totally frustrated with our long winded and expensive way of accounting. We needed an accountant that worked with the latest technologies, who had the experience to help us grow our business & push us forward in this competitive world we live in; someone we could send a quick Skype message to and receive an answer! Someone who could share our vision and enthusiasm & help to keep us focused. We also needed a quick, slick and modern system that could support multiple users in the office and would allow us to log in from anywhere in the world; as well as use on the go with our mobile phones. We needed a system that didn’t break the bank and would provide free regular updates! Approved Accounting, Jon Green & Xero have made all our dreams a reality…

The prospect of becoming a Ltd Company, changing Accountants and software all at the same time was daunting to say the least but we felt confident that the service Approved Accounting offered was the right one for us. The change over went very smoothly and we have found Jon extremely helpful and responsive at all times. Our only regret is that we didn’t make the change sooner.

Since moving to Approved Accounting earlier this year we have been continually impressed by their level of service and knowledge. Having searched for an accountant specialising in Xero we came across Approved Accounting and were initially drawn by their fixed fee accounting and local proximity. Right from the start we knew we had made the right decision, with excellent support in the move from our existing accountants the move has been simple and hassle free. Trevor and Jon are personable and easy to contact with quick responses to emails their service works perfectly alongside Xero to make accounting much quicker, simpler and cost effective. The contrast to our previous accountants could not be greater and I can genuinely say that a combination of moving to Xero and Approved Accounting has revolutionised the way we do our accounts.

I work with small limited companies and sole traders who provide doorstep deliveries across the UK. Jon provides a full, easy to understand service from set up to annual accounts and tax computations, complemented by quarterly management accounts. Without exception the people I work with find Jon approachable and helpful, he certainly makes it easier for them to make a success of their business. He ensures there is at least one face to face meeting each year, more in the initial year of trading when the new businessman is learning what is expected of himself. Jon has picked up new clients from within our business from other accountants, purely on the recommendation of his clients to their colleagues.

Approved Accounting has provided an excellent service since my business started up ten years ago. As someone who has always regarded accounting as something of a black art, they have always been patient and helped me to grasp the numbers without making me feel stupid! I would highly recommend them.

Overall, I love Xero! It is very easy to use as you said and I don’t have many issues at all and if I do, then I easily find the answers in the help… So thanks very much for suggesting this to us.
