Online Accounting - Simple. Smart. Secure.

A progressive Accountancy and Business Advisory Firm - who work with north east business owners by helping them understand, think positively and organise their business - have become an accredited partner of the world’s easiest online accounting system – www.xero.com.

Managing Director - Glyn Davison - is part of a new breed of accountants who believe time is precious and that the accountancy profession has to change with the invention of new technology;

“We try to invest our time wisely and want our clients to follow suit. We have helped clients use Xero to cut down manual data entry allowing the owners more time to work on their business. This also allows us more time to provide reliable, relevant and strategic advice on a real time basis.”

Glyn added; “Xero allows you to be always up to date with your business finances, saves you installing, backing up and maintaining software time/costs and provides us as advisors more timely, reliable data.”

The County Durham based firm are keen for clients to benefit from the systems smart features such as cash flow at a glance, sending invoices from anywhere and accessing information wherever you have an internet connection - even from a Smartphone!.

Glyn commented; “It is also one of our aims to help clients stop paying us to spend hours manually entering data and instead receive smart business advice and tax/business planning support instead. Using a cloud accounting system such as Xero allows us to deliver better service and advice as we have access to our clients’ up to date business financial information.”

Harlands are convinced that their clients will love Xero and have already worked on implementing the system with clients such as Roland Glancy at Newcastle based start up Heatwave UK Ltd;

“At this stage of our business, we really need to be concentrating our time on developing our products, so having access to the Xero software makes life a lot easier.

“It speeds things up, especially the monthly reporting requirements so we know exactly where we are in the business and can provide balance sheets and forecasts for our funders.”

To showcase this software Harlands are running some free seminars, whereby business owners or finance managers can enjoy breakfast on them while they show you the power of Xero.
