As a bookkeeper I was looking for an accountant that would be able to deal with a particular brand of accounting software, while also providing proactive support and advice to my client. Vision Accounting have done this, while also being extremely flexible under the recent COVID-19 restrictions. Two further clients also signed up with them, and I have an excellent working relationship with this firm - testament to their professional & positive approach. Thanks to Chris and the team for your excellent service!
