Testimonials

"BookCheck has carried out our in-house payroll for a number of years and has provided an excellent service."

Mike Lloyd, Partner, Haines Watts Chartered Accountants, Swindon

"BookCheck gives us clarity of the financial position of our business. They are our best performing supplier and deliver value for money. Yes, it does cost more than an independent bookkeeper BUT we have seen an overall reduction in our costs because our books are in shape. Our accountants tell us how good it is to work with BookCheck too. We considered BookCheck after two independent bookkeepers blew up on us. Even when the independents were working for us, our business was shrouded in financial fog. From the start, BookCheck made clear what they will do and when and they have done exactly what they said. They have adapted to the way we run our business and integrated with our extranet for data exchange."

Clive Lewis, Director, Achieving the Difference LLP, Cheltenham

"We were left in the lurch when a part time bookkeeper/credit controller left AND we wanted better quality management information. We selected BookCheck from three suppliers because they save us having to manage the person doing the work & their sickness and holiday, because they could improve the MI and because that information would be reviewed by a qualified accountant before we got it. And we have not been disappointed. They've done a great job."

Bob Bradley, Urban Element Design Solutions Ltd, Oxfordshire

Sally Roberts, Clifton Village Butchers

"Started using BookCheck 3 months ago following an unsettled period of trying 3 other bookkeepers both in-house and remotely. BookCheck have worked with us in resolving a series of problems and we're now in the position of starting to receive robust financial reporting for the first time in a long while. Very reassuring, if not essential, for a business owner. We work closely together with the BookCheck staff and there is a great level of expertise and diligence throughout the organisation. Working remotely not a problem at all. Best of all BookCheck identified a large VAT overpayment made by former bookkeeper No. 1 that was then doubled by former bookkeeper No. 2 which has more than paid their fees for the next 12 months. Couldn't recommend more highly."

Phil Ward, MD, Eskimo Products Ltd

"Highly recommend BookCheck."

Rebecca Ives, Operations and Finance Manager, Ultra-Vision Fire & Security Ltd

"We have used BookCheck for several years now to professionally manage and administer our company payroll.  It is a specific area which becomes more and more complicated, especially with the introduction of pension Auto Enrolment.  The prompt and correct payment of salaries is one of the most important tasks for any company and we continue to totally rely on BookCheck for this especially now that they have automated the process which significantly reduced the administration.  We would truly recommend BookCheck."

"I feel compelled to write to mention the excellent work and service I've just had from Christine Beard. 

I had to send our payroll info for September to her yesterday as I'm stopping for holidays this afternoon. I hadn't thought to advise that I would need to be doing it early this month so she wouldn’t have been expecting it. However she agreed to get it back to me this morning, and even waited when I sent her something I'd forgotten yesterday.

It's brilliant having such a team to back me up so cheerfully and efficiently - big brownie points!"

Ellaine Cameron, Relate Gloucestershire and Swindon

"Sue Parkhouse has been brilliant. I have been very pleasantly surprised at how little I have had to get involved in the process of transferring our payroll and setting up Auto Enrolment. Sue has handled everything and the service and communication has been first class."

"BookCheck have been supporting our charity for 2 years providing an excellent service. They inherited considerable issues, and now our trustees benefit from timely, accurate and relevant accounts. We are a small charity trying to minimise overheads, so BookCheck’s outsourced approach fits us well with their remotely based bookkeepers, working efficiently in the background, leveraging the benefits of the modern cloud software Xero package, and always available to respond to our queries /requests. BookCheck’s account management team has provided fair transparent pricing, and been flexible and understanding as our needs have changed. Thank you!"

Richard Hall, Director, Rope Access Equip Ltd

"We first engaged BookCheck in July 2017 and they have delivered an excellent service throughout our contract. BookCheck has run our accounting system on Sage, delivering comprehensive reports on time. This included Sales and Purchase ledgers, Stock control, Cash Book and Bank Reconciliations, VAT Returns and Monthly Management Accounts. BookCheck have liaised and co-operated with our Accountants to allow them to produce Annual Accounts. We recognize the inconvenience of BookCheck having worked for us remotely (off site) but they have proved highly efficient. The bookkeeper who BookCheck have assigned to us, is to be highly recommend for thoroughness and attention to detail. They have also shown great initiative and success in preparing monthly reports on time. BookCheck's Managing Director has kept in contact with us to ensure things were going well. We have no hesitation in recommending BookCheck."
