We have transferred many, many clients onto Xero without a problem. If you are using Sage or Quickbooks it is very simple and FREE to transfer your data and this can be completed within 24 hours.
At Normans we want to turn your numbers into knowledge and to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible we must use what we believe to be the best software on the market which is Xero. We have concluded this through experience and research into all the cloud options, and we have invested time and resource to ensure our dedicated staff team are experts in the use of Xero and have the skills and experience to use this software to its full capacity.
In addition to xero we have identified and use a variety of other software apps, all of which work perfectly within our systems and enable you to get your data to us with the minimum of time and effort. All the apps we recommend , we do so because they are:- easy to use, will save you time and money, they reduce the burden of filing and keeping paper records and ensure we can do our job quickly and effectively.
