Having been a customer of CRUNCH Accounting for 5 years now, I feel I am in a position to write an honest and sensible review. Crunch assisted me in the initial set up of my limited company. The process was slick and painless, which for a complete novice as I was, was a godsend. Once established, with the help of a superbly personable and friendly and knowledgeable Account Manager, I migrated from an umbrella company with no problems at all. When I made my wife a shareholder, the process was handled with the alacrity and professionalism that I have come to expect from CRUNCH. At intervals throughout the year, I get pinged with reminders - Year End / P11D submission / VAT etc. Not only does this stop me missing the deadlines, but the submissions themselves are a "check and send" process. I can honestly say that no submission has taken more than 1 hour to check and complete, and often is a check box declaration. The Accountancy services themselves are, ironically, an unseen feature. The software and iPhone App both allow the basics - expenses / invoices etc- to be logged with significant ease. Reconciling my accounts - which I do monthly, takes about an hour to 90 minutes for a busy month because the system matches your expense entries etc in the system with your bank statement. Finally, I must mention the team themselves. There are a couple of reviews on here that are simply unjust. The team are extremely helpful and can be contacted directly by phone and email. They adhere to HMRC processes as you would expect, and as they are staffed with a combination of "Career Accountants" and ex HMRC professionals, can advise on most matters within minutes. Unfortunately, their hands are tied by HMG process so sometimes things take a little longer to resolve, but as a business person, you will already be aware of and prepared for this. I have, over my time, made some significant accounting errors, had "unusual" conversations with HMRC (when they tried to refund me my Corporation Tax) and required some in depth assistance and support. The Team at CRUNCH have never failed to support me, and often have simply taken the issue on themselves and advised me of the outcome. They are keen, personable, professional and diligent and can support new starters and established firms alike. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The service provided for the price I pay is exemplary.
