Jack Ross has been my accountants since I set up my business in 2016. From the outset I was helped with advice, support and encouragement. I cannot commend them highly enough. Always on hand to answer any question and responsive to any changes in the economy which might concern their clients. I don’t have to worry about the financial side of my business as all of that is taken care of and dealt with by Umar and the brilliant team.

We have enjoyed a solid and constructive relationship with JackRoss and Can highly recommend them for accountancy services.

We have been working with Jack Ross for over two years and the service has been fantastic. They have a great and knowledgable team who have taken good care of us and our accounts.

Meeting to review annual accounts and discuss future plans. Very productive as they definitely talk my language - on reflection probably the best such meeting in recent years. Many thanks Umar and Jamie

Jack Ross has serviced my Personal Tax requirements for the last 5 years. During some complicated challenges their advice was excellent and the customer service second to none and left me with no doubt all was in hand.

Following a recommendation, I have used Jack Ross for all my accounting needs (including payroll) since the inception of my business over 12 years ago. The relationship has been completely hassle free and I greatly value their service, which goes well beyond preparation of accounts. Their tax planning advice has been really helpful and I have always felt that they have ‘got my back’. Can’t recommend them enough.

We have finally found the Accountancy firm that we have been looking for! We switched over to Jack Ross towards the end of last year and from the very first contact to the recent submission of our end of year accounts the service provided has been fantastic and has easily exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Excellent advice and an understandable explanation of a very complex area of tax and corporate law which other (so called) advisors managed to totally confuse me. Thank you.

I have had a relationship with Jack Ross for several years and continue to be impressed by the proactive support and diligent advice received across the breadth of the firm. Excellent at signposting.

Xero vs. QuickBooks: A Quick Comparison

While QuickBooks has been a popular choice in the accounting software market, Xero offers a range of features aimed at simplifying the day-to-day bookkeeping tasks that an accountant usually performs. Xero’s cloud-based platform makes it suitable for accountants who are on the go, unlike QuickBooks, which offers both cloud-based and desktop versions.

Why Accountants Choose Xero for Bookkeeping?

User-Friendly Interface

One of the main reasons accountants prefer Xero is its user-friendly interface. Even if you have limited work experience in accounting software, you will find Xero easy to navigate.

Flexibility and Customisation

Xero allows you to customise your accounting processes according to the specific requirements of your business or clients. Whether it is invoicing, payroll, or financial reporting, you can tailor Xero to meet your needs.

Real-Time Financial Data

Xero offers real-time financial data, enabling accountants to make informed decisions. You can view your business’s cash flow, income, and expenses in real-time, providing a complete financial snapshot.

Cloud-Based Platform

Being a cloud-based accounting software, Xero gives you the flexibility to manage your clients’ accounts anytime, anywhere. This is especially useful for accountants who need to work remotely or manage multiple clients in different locations.

Summary: Xero as an Essential Toolkit for Accountants

In summary, Xero offers a comprehensive toolkit for day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. Its features like invoicing, payroll management, and bank reconciliation make it a preferred choice for accountants. Moreover, its user-friendly interface and cloud-based platform make it suitable for both experienced accountants and those seeking an entry-level role in accounting.
