Unsure about the background of this company
We interviewed this company to replace our book keeper, but I decided against them. In the end I was concerned that
1. the principal shareholder with whom I was talking claimed on her Linked In profile to be a qualified ACCA registered accountant, but there is no sign of her on the ACCA register, which there should have been.
2. When I asked for a customer reference I was told this was some kind of "customer confidentiality" issue and against their policy, and I was told to look at all the online reviews, which of course could be left by anyone. I found that odd as as a customer I would be happy to recommend a company that was working for me to anyone wanting a background check if I was happy with them.
3. This is quite a new company with no accounts filed, and the other shareholder seems to have had various companies opening and closing one with some kind of mandated closure (I don't really know what that means but it doesn't sound good)
They would have access to our financial information so all of this made me feel quite uncomfortable, particularly the lack of ACCA registration. The lady suggested that I should give her access to look around our accounts on Xero which I didn't feel comfortable with. Anyway it's up to you if you use them, but this is what I found out.
